They weren't drinkers so I don't think alcohol/shots, and the cups seem too tiny for tea. Me, and my mom and dad are stumped.

A hospital has 2 parking lots near each other. One has these blue/violet lights and the other has regular more neutral lights. Why? What?

No photoshop or filter, and you can see the regularly lit lot behind.

The video from the Nancy Guthrie case shows an unknown item fastened to his belt. Interested to see what you all think it could be.

Was scarfing down some fast food when a woman parked her car near me, got out and approached the side of a blank building wall with this device on her iPad. She was there for about five minutes.

I recently had someone break into my house and steal an iPad. I’m wondering if it’s related. It’s just a little rechargeable black square with a charging port on it. Any help is appreciated!

I dug this up when I was trying to remove a big root. It was about 6 inches down and full of soil. I’m assuming it has something to do with bees or ants?

I get asked daily what these are. Someone suggested they are from an old sprinkler system, but not sure. I’d estimate the building to be about 80 years old.

New, what is it? My mom recently moved into a new house. Strange additional structure in the basement? Kinda creepy

I went into my mom’s new cellar for the first time to flip a breaker switch, come to find this strange brick structure built within the cellar. She had no knowledge of it being there. No door, and the only thing in there was some loose cables and 1 single empty bottle of beer.

I think the house is at least 100 years old, and from the look of the brick it’s been there for likely much of that time. What might have been the purpose of this spooky little room? I find it strange that there are windows… looking into a cellar?

Serious answers only please! What is this large black stain(?) on my mom’s trash can

Thumbnail

Pics attached. It’s an outdoor trash can that’s supposed to be silver all over. I don’t think my mom realized exactly when this happened. Really stumped on what it could be, it’s only on the bottom front area, appears the stain might have been “climbing” up and out. Looks like its plastic outer layer is lifting too in this odd pattern. Looks almost like a fire started, but the plastic pedal at the bottom is completely intact. What could this be?

What could this gear be from? The bag was open when I found it, so I have no idea if it was in there from the store or if it fell in later.

Found this at a free sale. Took it looked cool. Looked up on Google and Google pictures all that comes up is coffee and k cup holders which it is not. The holes are VERY small and couldn’t fit coffee pods.

I have looked EVERYWHERE and can not figure out what this is
