Man Notices Smell Coming From Wall, He Looks Inside And Calls 911

A Sinister Scene

Dan had been curious about the smell since they had moved into their new home. He suspected the strange smell was coming from outside.

But the night he finally decided to check what was on the other side of that wall, he had no idea what he would come across.

As soon as he saw the sinister scene, Dan knew he couldn’t handle the situation alone. That was when he dialed the three-digit number.

The En  Suite Bathroom

Since moving into his new home with his loving wife, Molly, something bothered Dan Moss. A terrible smell lingered in the en suite bathroom of their new house.

As the months passed, the man did everything he could to get rid of the smell, from burning matches to spring cleaning each corner of the room.

But nothing worked. It was unlike anything he had ever smelled before, and he was getting tired of having to hold his breath each time he went to the bathroom.

He Had Enough

But one evening, Dan finally had enough. After months of trying to deal with the issue at hand, he couldn’t take it anymore.

That night, Dan lay in bed, desperately trying to fall asleep, but he couldn’t. The terrible smell had found its way into their bedroom.

The foul smell made Dan’s stomach churn. It smelled of rot and decay, and he couldn’t take it a second longer. He decided to act.

Investigating

His wife watched in confusion as he let out a frustrated groan and kicked the covers from his body. “I can’t take this anymore,” He grumbled.

Dan quickly disappeared into the en-suite bathroom. The smell only seemed to get worse with every passing day, and they had to do something about it.

With an irritated frown on his face, Dan glanced around the bathroom, inspecting every corner and wall. But he saw nothing out of the ordinary.

He Noticed Something

But since he couldn’t see anything, he decided to use one of his other senses to nail it down. He decided to use his nose.

Dan walked with his nose in the air from one corner of the bathroom to the other, and as he did, he finally noticed something.

The smell wasn’t coming from the shower, the sink, or the toilet. It appeared to be coming from one of the walls.

Questions

Dan frowned to himself as he stared at the wall. He was beyond confused. But what could cause this kind of smell?

His hand traced along the white-painted wall. Was it the paint or something inside of the wall? That was when he decided to do something rather strange.

Dan raised his fist and gently tapped it against the wall, but as he did, the unexpected happened. Dan would never forget that day.

Terrifying

The young man jumped back when the unexpected happened. He couldn’t believe his eyes when his knuckles connected to the wall, sending a portion of it crumbling to the floor.

“What on earth?” he said aloud, capturing his wife’s attention. But as he glanced at the fresh hole in the wall, the smell only seemed to become worse.

Dan covered his nose and mouth with his palm. But as he did so, he looked into the hole in the wall. That was when his eyes found something beyond terrifying.

The Future

Born and raised in Flint, Michigan, Daniel Moss often thought about his future. For as long as he could remember, he had a dream.

He often daydreamed about the future and what it would be like to own a home of his own. He yearned for that kind of freedom.

For all his life, Dan wanted nothing more than to leave his mother and father’s home and to start a family of his own.

Working Hard

The young man worked hard to achieve this goal. He went to college straight after high school and spent the majority of his time studying.

But just two months after Dan graduated from college, he met the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

Her name was Molly. She was a kindergarten teacher, and she swept Dan off his feet right away. But he had no idea what the future had in store for them.

The Woman Of His Dreams

Dan and Molly met at a dinner party for a mutual friend, and they hit it off right away. Molly was charmed by Dan’s smile and wicked sense of humor.

That night, the pair exchanged numbers, and they began dating right away. It didn’t take long for the pair to fall madly in love.

Dan was attracted to Molly in every single way. She was beautiful and intelligent, and she loved children. She was everything he’d ever wanted in a woman.

Starting Their Lives Together

The pair made their relationship official just two months after they met, and from that moment, they spent all of their free time together.

As the weeks turned into months and the months turned into years, they only grew closer. Eventually, it was time to take it to the next level.

When Dan proposed, Molly was over the moon. Of course, she said yes right away. She couldn’t wait to start her life with him.

Excited For The Future

Dan and Molly began planning their wedding immediately. They couldn’t wait for the future, but one day, Dan made a suggestion.

“I just think it could be cool if we had a house to move into, where we could start living after the wedding,” He said.

Molly couldn’t agree more. They immediately began looking at available places in the area. But they found the perfect place right away.

The Perfect House

The house that stole their hearts was in one of the oldest neighborhoods in Flint, Michigan. As soon as they saw the photos, they knew they had to see it.

Dan arranged a viewing with an estate agent, and before they knew it, they were on their way to see the place for themselves.

As soon as the couple stepped through the front door, they shared a knowing look. There was no doubt that this would be the perfect house for them. But this house held a dark secret.

They Took It

The real estate agent walked them from room to room, commenting on the interior. The house seemed to be in great condition for its age.

“The kitchen and the living room have been redone, but the bedrooms and the bathrooms have not,” The older woman said.

But Dan and Molly didn’t need to hear another word. They had already made up their minds. “It’s perfect. We’ll take it,” Dan said.

It Was A Steal

He couldn’t believe how lucky they were. As the weeks went by and he sorted out all of the paperwork for their new hours, he often thought about the property.

He couldn’t believe that no one had snatched it up before them. With the price it was listed at, it was a steal.

But there was something Dan hadn’t noticed about his new home. He would discover the terrible truth months later.

Their First Night

Dan and Molly’s wedding was a huge success, and as soon as they returned from their honeymoon, they headed straight for their new home.

They had spent months before the wedding moving into the place, and now, they could finally live in the house they loved so much.

As soon as they stepped through the front door, they were overcome with joy. They had been dreaming of this day for months.

A Strange Occurrence

That night, Molly cooked them a wonderful dinner to celebrate their new home. But it wasn’t until later that night that something strange occurred.

It was just after 10 p.m. when they decided to head to their bedroom. Dan was exhausted after two extremely busy weeks.

All he wanted was to lay in his new bed with his new bride and get some much-needed rest. But as soon as they stepped into the bedroom, he noticed it.

The Smell

As soon as Dan stepped through the door, he noticed a faint, strange smell in the bedroom. But he could just barely smell it.

He glanced around the room, noticing that the windows were open. “Do you smell something weird?” Molly asked as she stepped in behind him.

He nodded slightly, his eyes focused on the bedroom windows. “Yeah, it’s probably something from outside. Hopefully, it goes away soon,” he said. If only he had known the truth.

A Sound

Dan and Molly decided to ignore the unfamiliar scent as they crawled into bed together. As soon as Dan’s head hit the pillow, he realized just how exhausted he was.

He mumbled a quiet “Goodnight, I love you” to his wife and turned onto his side, ready to fall asleep. But he had no idea what was about to happen.

The bedroom was pitch black and dead silent as he slowly began to drift off to sleep. But as he did, a strange noise awoke him from his slumber.

Fast Asleep

Dan was groggy and confused as he slowly sat up in bed, trying to figure out what exactly he was hearing.

He glanced toward his wife, but she appeared to be fast asleep already. Slowly, he decided to get out of bed.

But as Dan quietly walked across the room, he noticed something. The sound became louder when he approached the en suite bathroom.

A Terrible Scent

Confused, he placed a hand against the cold, wooden door and slowly pushed it open, but he was caught off guard when he stepped through the door.

He had to stop himself from gagging when he entered the room and smelled the same terrible scent as before. But this time, it was a lot stronger.

But as he stood quietly in the dark room, he heard the strange sound once again, but it was louder this time.

A Dripping Sound

Dan was beyond confused as his eyes glanced around the dark room. The smell was overwhelming, and the sound was a lot clearer.

It sounded like something was dripping. He closed the door behind himself, trying not to wake his wife before he flipped the light switch.

His eyes burned as the bathroom lit up around him. But as he looked around, trying to figure out where the sound was coming from, he saw nothing.

He Saw Nothing

This concerned Dan. Something was clearly dripping or leaking somewhere. His eyes scanned the ceiling, but he saw nothing.

Next, he decided to look into the shower, but once again, he noticed nothing out of the ordinary. But where was that sound and smell coming from?

Dan stood frozen for a second, beyond confused. Part of him wondered if he was so exhausted that he was imagining all of it.

Going To Bed

Dan looked around for a second longer before giving up and heading back to bed. He closed the bathroom door behind him, pleased that it drowned out the sound.

That night, Dan fell asleep rather quickly, forgetting all about the strange situation in the bathroom. But soon enough, he would be reminded.

Dan and Molly awoke early the next morning, and to Dan’s surprise, the smell had left the bedroom, and he could no longer hear the strange sound.

He Didn’t Mention It

He was convinced that the smell and strange sound had come from outside, so he didn’t mention anything to his wife that morning.

However, shortly after leaving their bed, Dan decided to head to the bathroom. He pushed the door open and confidently stepped inside.

But he was immediately reminded of the night before when he smelled it. The bathroom still had that terrible, rotting smell.

Doing Something About It

Dan couldn’t stand it. The smell was faint but noticeable, just strong enough to make his stomach churn.

Dan had wanted to spend that day relaxing, but instead, he decided to do something about the smell.

Together, he and Molly ran to a nearby store and bought a bunch of cleaning supplies. They were convinced that the bathroom just needed a good cleaning.

Cleaning

That day, they spent hours scrubbing each tile in the bathroom. While Molly cleaned the shower, he handled the toilet and sink.

Before long, the bathroom was filled with the smell of soap and cleaning supplies. The couple was convinced that they had sorted it out.

Dan felt proud of their hard work. They went about their day, forgetting all about the strange smell until that night rolled around.

It Was Even Worse

Dan couldn’t believe it when he stepped into the bathroom hours later and noticed that same nauseating smell.

“Honey,” He called for Molly. She approached, but as soon as the scent found her nose, she gasped. It was unbelievable.

Somehow, the smell had only gotten worse. But how was that possible? What on earth was causing it? Dan’s stomach dropped

Obsessed

As the days went by, Dan became increasingly obsessed with finding the source of the smell. He spent hours scouring every inch of the bathroom, searching for any sign of decay or rot.

Molly grew concerned as she watched her husband become more and more fixated on the problem. She tried to convince him to let it go, to call a professional and have them deal with it, but Dan refused to listen.

He was determined to solve the mystery on his own, no matter the cost. But little did he know, the cost would be far greater than he could have ever imagined.

An Inspection

One evening, as Dan was once again inspecting the bathroom walls for any sign of weakness or decay, he heard a faint scratching sound coming from behind the wall.

His heart skipped a beat as he froze, listening intently. There it was again, the sound of something moving, something alive.

Dan’s mind raced as he tried to comprehend what could be causing the noise. Could it be rats? Or something even worse?

There Was Something There

With trembling hands, Dan reached out and pressed his ear against the wall, hoping to hear more clearly. But what he heard next sent shivers down his spine.

It wasn’t just scratching; there were faint whispers, barely audible but undeniably there. The words were indistinct, but Dan could sense a malevolent presence lurking just beyond the wall.

Fear gripped him as he realized that whatever was causing the smell and the strange noises was not of this world. But he couldn’t bring himself to admit it, not even to Molly.

Sleepless Nights

Instead, Dan kept his findings to himself, convinced that he could handle whatever dark force was at work in their home.

He delved deeper into his investigation, spending sleepless nights scouring the internet for answers, searching for any clue that could explain the sinister presence in their midst.

But the more he searched, the more he realized that he was out of his depth. The answers he found only raised more questions, and the fear that had been gnawing at him since that first night in their new home grew ever stronger.

A Change

Molly began to notice the change in her husband, the way his once bright eyes had become hollow and haunted, the way he jumped at the slightest sound, as if expecting something to leap out at him from the shadows.

She tried to talk to him, to convince him to let go of whatever dark obsession had taken hold of him, but Dan wouldn’t listen. He was convinced that he was close to uncovering the truth, that he could banish whatever evil lurked in their home once and for all.

But little did he know that the darkness he sought to confront was far more powerful than he could ever imagine.

Cleaning Companies

As the weeks passed, he did everything he could think of to sort the issue out. He hired cleaning companies and tried all kinds of hacks and tricks.

But the longer they stayed there, the worse it became. It got to the point where they refused to open the door to the en suite bathroom.

Instead, they decided to use the guest bathroom in the hall. Dan was grateful that as long as that door remained closed, they couldn’t smell it.

Nothing Unusual

But he would still wake up to that strange dripping sound every now and again. He couldn’t figure it out.

He tried to convince himself that all of this was coming from outside their house, but one day, he finally decided to check.

Dan walked along the back wall of the house, but he couldn’t see anything unusual. Little did he know that this situation would only get worse.

The Unveiling

One stormy night, as the wind howled outside and rain lashed against the windows, Dan’s determination reached its peak. He couldn’t take it any longer.

Armed with a flashlight and a hammer, Dan marched into the en suite bathroom, his heart pounding in his chest. He was determined to uncover the source of the sinister smell once and for all.

With a resolute expression, Dan approached the wall where he had heard the scratching before. Without hesitation, he raised the hammer and began to chip away at the plaster.

Frustrated

Did they also have insects or rats in their walls besides the awful smell? This was becoming too much for him to handle.

All he wanted to do was get rid of the smell, and now he would potentially have to deal with another issue.

Dan was at his wit’s end. Everything was taking a toll on him at this point. He felt like tearing the whole house down. He was beyond frustrated.

Determined

Molly could see how everything had taken a toll on her husband. He was a shell of the person he once was.

He spent endless nights trying to figure out where the smell and the scratching noises were coming from.

As soon as Dan came home from work, it was the first thing that he did. He marched upstairs, determined to get to the bottom of the mysterious smell wafting through their bedroom.

Stronger Chemicals

He tried cleaning again, but this time, he had picked up stronger chemicals.

He was convinced that by using something stronger, the smell would surely disappear.

He bought gloves and a mask to put over his mouth and nose. “These are very strong chemicals, Molly. I don’t want you coming anywhere near these. I think if I use this to clean the bathroom, the smell should disappear for good this time.”

Running Out Of Options

Dan spent hours scrubbing and washing the floors and everything else in the bathroom. The industrial strength chemicals were so strong that they made Molly gag, even though she was standing in the bedroom, far away from the bathroom.

However, that night, as they lay in bed, the smell came through once again.

Dan couldn’t believe it. He had spent hundreds of dollars on strong cleaning supplies, but now, those didn’t even work. He was running out of options.

Behind The Door

For a few days, everything seemed fine. Dan was aware that the smell was still behind that bathroom door, but he decided to ignore it.

As long as it remained closed, it wasn’t his problem. At least, that’s what he kept telling himself. But soon, something would change.

For a few weeks, Dan and Molly lived happily in their new home. They had almost forgotten about the smell until one day.

Leaving The House

That day, Dan and Molly decided to leave the house for a few hours. They wanted to go out for lunch and pick up a few groceries.

But when they got home just after three p.m., everything seemed fine. But that changed when Dan stepped into their bedroom.

He felt like he was going to be sick when he walked in. The room smelled beyond horrific. It was worse than ever before, and it had traveled through the bathroom door.

Not Working

He tried to deal with the issue for that entire afternoon, but nothing seemed to work. Their bedroom smelled awful, and it wasn’t going away.

By the time that evening rolled around, he’d had enough. He was tired and wanted to get some sleep.

As he lay in bed with the awful smell, he told himself that he would call in a professional the next morning. But he was about to discover the truth.

It Didn’t Work

Dan closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep, but it wasn’t working. The smell was so bad that it was giving him a headache.

As he lay in bed with his eyes wide open, his blood began to boil. If he had known what he would have to deal with, he never would’ve bought the house.

His entire bathroom and bedroom smelled of rot and decay, and he couldn’t take it a second longer. He decided to act.

He Couldn’t Take It

Molly watched in confusion as he let out a frustrated groan and kicked the covers from his body. “I can’t take this anymore,” He sighed, beyond angry.

She felt terrible. She could tell that her husband was having a terrible time trying to deal with the strange incident.

Dan quickly disappeared into the en suite bathroom and decided to have another look around. But he saw nothing out of the ordinary.

He Noticed Something

As he couldn’t identify the source of the smell by sight, Dan decided to rely on his sense of smell to locate it.

He lifted his nose into the air and walked from one end of the bathroom to the other until he detected something.

The odor didn’t emanate from the shower, sink, or toilet but rather seemed to originate from one of the walls.

He Couldn’t Figure It Out

Dan furrowed his brows as he stared at the wall, perplexed. He couldn’t figure out what caused the strange smell.

He ran his hand along the white-painted surface, wondering if it was paint or something hidden inside the wall.

Suddenly, he had an odd idea and raised his fist to tap gently on the wall. But as he did so, something unexpected occurred, an unforgettable moment for Dan.

A Discovery

The young man was startled when something unexpected happened. He was shocked to see a portion of the wall crumble to the floor after his knuckles made contact with it.

“What on earth?” he exclaimed, catching his wife’s attention. However, as he looked at the newly made hole in the wall, more of the unpleasant odor filled the air.

Dan covered his nose and mouth with his hand but then looked into the hole, where he discovered something terrifying.

A Realization

His eyes widened when he saw something unexpected inside of the wall. Suddenly, he realized where the smell had come from.

He called for his wife and demanded that she call 911. His eyes were wide and bloodshot as he stared at what he had found.

His heart began to race as he stared at the bundle of cloth that had stains of red and brown on it. That was what he’d been smelling.

Waiting For Answers

The police arrived quickly, and they spent hours in that bathroom while Dan and Molly waited outside, anxiously waiting for answers.

Dan had no idea what had stained the bundle of cloth, but he had an idea of what it could’ve been.

As they waited, another car stopped in front of their house. But this was no policeman—it was a plumber.

Investigation

The man headed inside the house and worked with the police for hours. Together, they broke down the wall to see what else was inside.

Dan was exhausted but also terrified. He’d never seen anything like that before. But after a few hours, an officer approached him.

“We broke down the rest of that wall and found a bunch of cloth everywhere,” The officer began, but Dan interrupted him.

A Conversation

“Could you figure out what was on the cloth? I saw brown and red stains. Is it something bad?” he asked, worried.

The officer sighed and nodded, “We had a plumber come and take a look. What you saw on the cloth was years worth of rust,” the man said.

But Dan was confused. Why was there cloth in the walls, and why was it covered in years worth of rust? The officer explained.

Damage

“It appears that the bathroom has decades worth of damage done to the pipes and plumbing system. Those pipes should have been replaced decades ago,” the officer explained.

Dan finally knew the truth. Someone had stuffed the walls full of cloth in an attempt to stop the pipes from leaking, but over time, the pipes only got worse.

Now, he finally knew why the house was so cheap. They would have to spend thousands of dollars to get the plumbing issue fixed.

Improvements

Dan was disappointed but determined to fix the damage done to their bathroom. He asked the plumber to come back the very next day.

The plumber returned and began fixing the huge mess in their bathroom. It took some time, but he did good work.

He replaced all of the pipes and fixed the water damage to the inside of the wall. Slowly but surely, the smell improved.

They Never Looked Back

In the end, the plumber was able to fix everything for the young couple. Dan and Molly were over the moon when the smell had finally disappeared.

They couldn’t believe that someone had sold them the house in such terrible condition. But they were grateful that it was all over.

As the months turned into years, they settled into their amazing home and started their very own family. They never looked back.

A Rough Start

It was a rough start, but Dan and Molly’s perseverance paid off. They turned their once-troubled house into a warm and welcoming home, where they built countless memories together.

With the plumbing issues resolved and the sinister smell long gone, Dan and Molly were able to focus on enjoying their lives together. They hosted dinner parties, celebrated anniversaries, and even welcomed their first child into the world.

Despite the initial challenges they faced, Dan and Molly never lost sight of their dream of creating a happy and loving home.

We Did It

And as they watched their family grow, they knew that they had made the right decision in choosing that house as their forever home.

Looking back on those early days, Dan couldn’t help but feel grateful for everything they had overcome. The journey hadn’t been easy, but it had brought them closer together and taught them the true meaning of resilience.

As they sat together on their porch one evening, watching the sun dip below the horizon, Dan wrapped his arm around Molly’s shoulders and whispered, “We did it, love. We turned this house into a home.”

Growing Closer

Their story became a testament to their strength as a couple. With each challenge they faced, they grew closer and more resilient, forging a bond that was unbreakable.

As their family expanded, so did their love for each other and their home. They filled the walls with laughter and joy, creating a haven where their children could grow and thrive.

Years passed, and the memory of the sinister smell and the hidden horrors behind the bathroom wall began to fade into the background of their lives. They focused on building new memories, cherishing each moment they shared together.

Remaining Vigilant

But deep down, Dan and Molly never forgot the lessons they learned during those early days in their home. They remained vigilant, ensuring that their house was always well-maintained and free from any hidden dangers.

And as they watched their children grow into happy, healthy adults, they knew that their journey had been worth it.

Their home was more than just a house—it was a symbol of their resilience, their love, and their unwavering commitment to each other.

At Peace

Molly leaned into Dan’s embrace, feeling a sense of peace wash over her. Together, they had weathered the storms and emerged stronger than ever before.

With a smile, she turned to him and whispered, “I love you, Dan Moss. Thank you for turning this house into a home.”

Dan’s heart swelled with love as he pressed a kiss to her forehead. “I love you too, Molly Moss. And I wouldn’t have wanted to do it with anyone else.”
