What kind of creepy stuff do you have in your house?
Here are two of my favorites - I found 'em both at the same antique store.

Here's the scary transgendered merperson:



and this is the creepy dancing monkey god:



I'm just a sucker for this kind of stuff.

2. Part of a human femur.
Found in the ruins of Pachacamac in Peru. I also found part of a human clavicle nearby, and the leather heel of a conquistador's boot with the penny nails still in it. Oh, and a bunch of pottery shards.

13. How dare you!?!?
How'd you like someone to "find" your grandmother's bones and decide to just take them home?

4. Testicles
Pickled that is.
I was taking a Pathology course once, and we had all these anatomy samples from the morgue for study, and they were renovating the lab and, well one thing led to another, or should I say two things led to another and . . .yada yada yada....they ended up at my place.
Women LOVE 'em. They always want to stick things in them!

I also have a uterus. Pickled.

5. A bottle of Cobra wine from Viet Nam.
My brothers wife brought it back for me from her homeland. Its a bottle of amber colored wine with a REAL(baby)COBRA inside the bottle. Its really creepy looking.
People actually drink this stuff down there. Cobra and all.

7. My g-g-grandfather's tombstone
I couldn't see what the dates were, so I stuck it in our front window in the light. I liked how it looked, so I kept it there.

8. Well, let's see...
I've got a doll head in a flower pot--it looked kinda good there so I left it--couple of fu dogs, statue of a naked lady in the fireplace, two black cats... just a bit odd, nothing too weird.

12. The notorious 'Wall of Breasts'
My wife and I found a 5 foot by 2 1/2 foot piece of artwork. It consists of about 20 or so photocopies of women's breasts. On the glass cover, there are ceramic breasts (11 in all) of all sizes and shapes. In the center, there is a mirror. I know the artist, and have known her most of my life (we went to elementary school together), and the piece was in her mother's garage. She gave it to us as an engagement gift, because my wife fell in love with it the instant she saw it. :hippie:

18. I'd have to say
that the BeeGee's albums are slightly creepier.

19. My g/f's paintings...
(and yes, I answered the same thing to the "neat" stuff question)


Actually, this painting was sold some time ago and is no longer in the house, but you get the idea :)

24. I'm glad I'm not coming over to your places for Halloween....
The worst I can claim is some daddy-long-legs and the occasional cat-killed small rodent on the porch.
