Probably cat puke… haven’t looked today, but always cat puke… Also I have this down there courtesy of a 2016 fuko:
In the old house, half the basement was unfinished which was where the litter box was. To try to contain the litter (and dust) to a corner of the unfinished area, I built a “kill room” with plastic sheets on the floor and hanging from the above floor joists. This was certainly weird to anyone who peeked in that room.
@llangley - There’s a backup kitchen in the parental basement because Pop had the idea that while the kitchen was being refinished, the Mater would want to keep on cooking. This proved not to be the case. The extra refrigerator and shelving units are actually pretty useful; the 1950s-era stove, not so much.
Hmmm… That is not an easy question to answer, mostly because weird means such different things to different people.
There is definitely cat puke, but that’s not weird. Nor are the occasional legs of large insects that the cats leave for me (think like huge crickets).
In fact, with the possible exception of @mike808’s picture above, none of the things above seem weird to me at all(my Easy Button is at work and making a meh button seems rather, well… meh to me, so I never bothered).
I’d take some pix of my own, but that would require getting up and making the cat on my lap move.
God only knows. I’m going thru it now getting rid of stuff. Husband recently passed and he was a hoarder and I’ve found a lot of …odd … things. A lot from when his dad was overseas in WWII. I have found signed autographed pics of Bob Crippen and some other shuttle astronauts (his dad worked in aerospace) and original official gov’t photos (11x17) officially released from Viet Nam. Loads of porn. Cancelled checks from the 70s. Lots of rat nests… and still going thru.
@cinoclav I know. Source of contention with us. He was extremely addicted. Had been collecting for 42 yrs. I’m not kidding when I said he coulda made Flint jealous.
I’m deathly afraid to know what’s down there. Particularly because my house is on a slab and there’s no basement.
I think the OP needs to fess up first.
@therealjrn well last week it was an animatronic santa. Today nothing but fans and dehumidifiers
HaHa…Nice try FBI. Nice try.
@MrMark Tell Jimmy Hoffa I said Hi,
@chienfou I actually live in Michigan. So
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I am so glad I do not have one! Nor a crawlspace! Slab.
Never could see how my dad could crawl under the house.
It would have to be finished off.
I do not go in creepy places.
@Calabama
Today I learned that Meh is not a creepy place.
@mflassy No, it is not! Coz I don’t go in them! And I am here! Hehe!

@medz You don’t happen to have a collection of blood slides do you?
@medz @therealjrn Point Dexter.
My neighbor’s kitty.
Just this week it got stuck in my crawlspace, took hours of rattling the food bag to lure it back out.
I have had raccoons under there in the past, and more recently squirrels.
Just had some repairs done, hope it’s critter-free now.
Went to basement. Saw this:
Looking for this: I know it’s in there.
Found this. Crap.
At least it’s purple.
@mike808 Priceless!! (you also have a kitchen down there, I find that also weird)

What’s a basement?
@Cerridwyn That thing that collects water when it rains too hard. Just ask @CaptAmehrican about that.
/image private lake in basement
Umm no that is where the lake belongs /image…
@CaptAmehrican @Kidsandliz
Southern California girl.
Never had one
Hmmm. Literal or Figurative basement?
Both are pretty well packed with weird stuff.
The bones.
Definitely all the bones.
I’m in my basement right now, so…
Why don’t you come down and find out. It’s ok, don’t be scared.

@baqui63 And here, in another meh topic about Wolfgang Puck Rice Cookers is talk about more stuff in my basement that I don’t consider weird.
We don’t have basements where I live
@Dweezle ditto…
The header picture is creepy.

@lseeber Damnit, you found my porn. I’m very sorry for your loss.
@cinoclav haha… I found everybody’s porn. He had a collection that would make Larry Flint jealous.
And thanks.
@lseeber Might be weird to think about, but some old porn is quite collectible.
@cinoclav @lseeber I think you need to post the porn here, so we can fairly decide.
@cinoclav I know. Source of contention with us. He was extremely addicted. Had been collecting for 42 yrs. I’m not kidding when I said he coulda made Flint jealous.
@cinoclav @therealjrn Sorry man… didn’t mean to stun you speechless… lol.
@lseeber @therealjrn We won’t be speechless until we see that collection.
@cinoclav @therealjrn haha… I replied but hit the wrong reply link so… it’s floating out there headless without meaning now… too late… up in smoke!
The rat snake.
@cranky1950 Oh hey… I had one of them also.
20+ mostly empty glass boxes.
