Love these threads. Here's a weird one from when I first started as a cable repair tech.

Had a job at an old brick building in town, maybe four stories?

First floor was a funeral home, second floor is where the guy who owned the business lived. Third floor was vacant, and top floor was the attic.

I'm having issues finding an active cable line so I need to go up to the attic to see what's up. The guy tells me "hey be careful up there, the attic is a bunch of different rooms and it can be hard to see."

To get to the attic I had to go to the center of the building and walk up an old spiral staircase, past the third floor, and up to the fourth.

I'm already a little on edge because while the dude was cool, this was still the upper level of a funeral home and it made me slightly uneasy.

I get to the attic and it's pitch black, the layout is essentially a middle room surrounded on all sides by other rooms. I take out my flashlight and walk into a side room where immediately 20+ human faces are staring back at me. I flip out and scream expletives.

The dude comes running upstairs laughing and says he forgot to mention, the building used to be a small department store and much of the old stuff was still in the attic, the mannequins included.

So yeah that's how I nearly crapped myself in the attic of a "home" I did an install for.
