Rancid reek

Jump to newest

Every few weeks my house has a smell in it. Starts in the box bedroom and then moves to the hall downstairs. The smell always starts in the evening and always lasts three evenings. It sometimes ends with something being broken or going missing. It never appears during the day. It’s a very sharp acidic smell. Almost rancid. I’ve checked under the floors for dead mice and the like. I’ve even blocked the room vents. A mate who’s heavily into spirits and the like suggested it may be a wee visitor. I’m skeptical.

I’d like to point out it’s not a stray pair of gym socks or jocks.

I’m open to ideas.

Me too! We can both get our thermal imaging guns out, but we would also need the assistance of a paranormal expert preferably a lady to show us where to aim our guns

The house was gutted, rewired and replumbed since I moved in. Smell was there before and after.

No idea about the smell but I'd say your mate may want to go easy in the spirits if he is seeing shapes at night

Oddly enough. Most of the things he sees are pink and of the elephant verity

could just be a brain tumor or your imagination?

Get someone else to see if they can smell it.

Are you a gable end house, do you have a neighbour beside the room, have you checked the floor boards? It sounds like the smell of a fungal spawn cycle.

The best thing to do is to look into hiring an ozone generator. It will actually kill everything in the entire room, all fungus, bacteria, the whole lot. It will leave the room with that "new from store" smell. Like a new car or clothes.

They are used to get rid of flood damage smell, and kill off all fungus that might be growing.

Ideally if you can get a really powerful one.

Thats what I would do anyway.

Maybe your “ wee visitor “ is a female ghost, and only pops out to visit you when it’s period time !!!

What if the wee visitor is gender fluid and me referring to it as her only agitates it?

I agree, had that problem before and the stench was coming from the bathroom. Ended up it was the bath drain as it wasn't being used much (I'm a shower person) water had lodged in the Ubend and gone stale, the smell was horrendous

Is your neighbour from Asia and likes durian fruit every now and then?

First description of the fruit i found on the internet: its odor is best described as pig-shit, turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock. Would that fit?

Are they only consumed at night?

It’s not electrical or plumbing related. It’s been happening since I moved in 9 years ago. House has been rewired and replumbed since then. There’s now rhyme nor reason for it. It’s bizarre.

Thinking of driving it down a country lane, setting fire to it and reporting it stolen.

If not the plumbing or electrics could be that you have a nest of rodents and as some die of that would leave a stench.

They can get behind walls and under floorboards. Nooks and crannies you wouldn't even think of or realise.

Either that or check the inside of your curtain poles for fish carcass or similar places by any vengeful persons you might have pissed. Have read a few stories about people breaking up or being forced out of their homes and leaving presents like that behind in the last place you would think to look.

If neither of them then call an exorcist to get rid of the demons lol.
