A homeowner has shared a "creepy" find in their attic, sharing photos of the discovery with shocked Redditors.

"There's a house in my attic," they write before sharing several photos on the forum's 'Interesting as f--k' thread.

"That's a little creepy," one person wrote, to which the homeowner responded: "Yeah, the only way out of the attic is through a small square hole so extra scary."

"You attic is as big as my house," another commented.

When asked what was found inside the mini-home, the homeowner described: "Junk, old cabinet, a tire, a hat, a toilet and sink. Dirt. Lots of dirt. And spiders. I have more pictures but there's like 15 of 'em."

They added in the comments section: "So there is a hole leading to another attic but I can't get a ladder up there, unless I bring the ladder I used to enter the attic. But I really don't wanna close off my only escape route."

One commenter asked: "Wait the attic is at the top of the build, how tall is your roof to have another house inside that also have an attic?"

"Does a clown live there by the name of Penny Wise?" another joked.

The homeowner decided to investigate the origins of their home, sharing their discoveries. They explained it used to be a store and the owners lived upstairs.

"I believe someone told me it was Carl's market. But it was turned into a church," they continued.

"I'm guessing the church owners didn't want to bother with knocking it down so they just built around it."

One Redditor joked: "House For Sale. Reduced price due to big f--king nope in the attic."

"I didn't want to be the first to say this, but it reminds me of the terrifying stories of where people keep family members locked up," another comment reads.

"Somebody built an addition onto the house, and then built a new roof over both parts of the house enclosing the old attic inside the new attic. I used to own a house like this, but there was just a roof peek with shingles inside the attic, not entire rooms like this. It's unusual, but it does happen," another person explained.
