Haha, porcelain dolls are a hard pass for me—especially hidden ones. When we moved into our place, I found an old shoebox full of black-and-white family photos tucked way back in the attic corner. Cool at first, but then I realized none of the people matched the previous owners or anyone local. Still gives me chills thinking about it... Anyway, you're definitely not alone with the creepy attic finds. Monopoly guy lucked out big time compared to us!

That's definitely unsettling... makes you wonder how many forgotten stories are hidden away in attics everywhere. Did you ever try to track down who those people might've been, or did you just leave it alone? I've always wondered if it's better to dig deeper into these mysteries or just let sleeping dogs lie.
"makes you wonder how many forgotten stories are hidden away in attics everywhere."
Right? I've seen some pretty weird stuff tucked away during inspections—old photos, creepy dolls, even a random mannequin once (still recovering from that one...). Honestly though, sometimes it's best to just let the mystery be. Digging too deep can turn a quirky find into a full-blown rabbit hole. Sounds like you handled it just fine by leaving it alone.
I've stumbled across some odd attic finds myself...but honestly, the bigger issue is making sure those random discoveries aren't hiding water damage or mold. Always good to check carefully around stored items—better safe than sorry later on.

Definitely agree with this. I've seen folks overlook minor attic leaks that turned into major headaches later. Also worth checking insulation—wet insulation is a sneaky culprit for mold growth... learned that one the hard way myself.
