A bizarre note was found by a homeowner after leaving his property in the hands of a house sitter.
The letter, left on the kitchen table, lists a series of unbelievable events which are said to have happened while the owners were away.
Before ending with the ominous warning ‘Welcome home. Don’t look under the back deck. (The noises will subside with time).’
The note has gone viral after the homeowner posted a picture of it on social media site Reddit, but it has left many questioning whether it is genuine or not.
Among the ‘events’ the house sitter shares is an unfortunate accident on the trampoline where he ‘bruised his penis’, a warning not to trust the next door neighbour after he came round asking for soap and a bizarre story where he offered to play backgammon with a bird he found in the backgarden.
He goes on to say he has run tests on all the silverware which ‘taste confusing’.
Whatever the writer’s motive for penning the note, a sense of humour is certainly present.
He wrote: “Bird came back later and asked for soap. Suspect conspiracy. Will monitor more closely henceforth.”
The homeowner posted the letter on Reddit through their sosomething profile.
They wrote: “I’m sure he was trolling us. He’s the kind of person I trust to watch over my house and my dogs while we’re out of town.
“I talked to him while we were driving home – he didn’t mention the note but it was totally normal. I think he just left it as a joke for us to find.”
If it wasn’t a joke, the homeowner probably needs to look for a new house sitter.
