You think you’ve found weird stuff cleaning out your house? Try competing with the folks around Lubbock. We asked listeners to tell us the strangest thing they’ve ever discovered in their home or apartment. The answers ranged from hilarious to downright horrifying. From mystery bottles and mummified cats to forgotten guitars and ghostly liquor deliveries, these finds prove one thing: you never really know what’s hiding in the walls, vents, or couch cushions of a West Texas home.

Take a peek at what's hiding in Lubbock homes below:

Douglas DeClerk:
Richard Simmons Sweatin’ to the Oldies. Classic find.

Jay Jones:
The day after I brought Muriel home, she found a bag of weed under the couch that a house-sitter had left. I keep hoping she’ll find more, but that’s been my only score. She’s officially a marijuana retriever.

Acadiana Valkyriie Hidalgo:
A TV tray from the show ALF that said something about eating someone else’s lunch.

Bee Rian:
Possum. Just… possum.

Sam McLaughlin:
I’ve been a landlord for 30 years. Bodies, dildos, a goat—you name it.

Dave Gonzalez LeCroy:
A shotgun blast in the wall next to the door. Probably a drive-by aimed at the last tenant. (Ave T near LHS, for the record.)

Michelle Mapes:
Four shedding dogs and no visitors means the weirdest thing is WHERE the dog hair gets. There’s hair in unopened Doritos bags. HOW?!

Archer Toadsblood:
Huge rubber 🍆 in the A/C vent.

Elizabeth Welch:
It’s a toss-up between me and my dog… definitely one of us.

Emily Covington:
Found a kid’s Spider-Man backpack in a hoarder’s house. Inside? A massive meth crystal (thought it was quartz) and about a dozen multicolored dildos.

Chelsea Holloway:
Something kept sneaking in at night, eating only flowers and Chick-fil-A sauce packets—never touched cookies or veggies. We called it The Creature.

Paul Andrade:
Dad left home, came back to find a freshly opened bottle of Tito’s vodka sitting on the counter. He only drinks whiskey. All doors were locked. No signs of entry. We poured it out and changed the locks.

D. Bjorn Christian:
Woke up to a random guy passed out on our couch. Neither roommate knew him. Later, I found a note saying, “If you let people stay, kick ’em out.”

Carlton P.:
A single slice of American cheese stuck perfectly to the ceiling fan. Nobody in the house has any memory of how it got there.

Ray Belcher:
Found a “dilly do” on the catwalk at work during night shift.

Danny Mankins:
My ex-wife.

Droopy Cee:
Got out of jail, came home to a broken window and a mummified cat carcass.

Lori J.:
An entire Barbie leg in the freezer. Just the leg. Wrapped like it was waiting for a ransom exchange.

Doug Warren:
A red 1962 Airline guitar just chilling in the attic. Called the last owner—she said, “Keep it.”

Dustin Havens:
Previous owner’s grandma. In a box. In ash form. Lost her five years later—she owes me rent.

Kimmi Ramone:
My son set a plastic cup on fire on a “safe” ceramic plate… on the carpet. Now we have a permanent reminder of his experiment.

Nick Honesto:
Wished for $20, did laundry, and found $20 in a hoodie under the bed. Manifestation works, y’all.

Jess Allred:
While renovating an old mobile home, a knife hidden above a cabinet, a syringe, and a 1974 Coke can fell from the ceiling. Time capsule from chaos.

Tex B.:
A note under the floorboard that said, “Nice try. We moved the gold.” I don’t know if I’m more confused or offended.

What Does It All Mean?

Only in Lubbock could someone find a goat, a ghost bottle of Tito’s, and a rubber 🍆 all in the same week. Whether it’s something left behind by a previous tenant, a sign of mischief, or just one of life’s mysteries, these discoveries remind us that West Texas homes have character — sometimes too much of it.

A Little Something From Me

I've found some pretty strange things in my own home, too. I shared one story in particular on Facebook with my followers that I'm just not sure I should share here. It's a little bit...um...graphic. I never know when boss man might have a click on one of my stories. You can find it here. Click at your own discretion.
