A few years ago, I was dating a guy named Stefan (around 2005 or 2006), who worked with a major construction company in the nearest major city. I'm telling a story that Stefan told me. For reference, we live in the deep South.

So Stefan and his buddy were sent out on a job, to remodel a room in this elderly lady's house. The lady lived in a very nice part of the city, in one of the older neighborhood's. She was very cultured and seemingly wealthy, even though her home needed some work, it was really beautiful.

She told (Stefan and his friend/co-worker) that her son was in his forties had never married and had always lived at home. The room she was having remodeled (as in some drywall repair, rebuilding the closet and painting), had to be done then, because he rarely left home, but at that particular time, he had gone for the week to visit out of town relatives.

She took Stefan and friend upstairs and showed them the room. There was nothing unusual about it, just a bedroom set, bed neatly made, etc. it was not overly meticulous, or messy, it just looked normal. But Stefan said, as soon as he and his friend walked in the door, he had some bad vibes.

So, the lady left them to do the job. They began with the closet. When they opened the (closet) door, the closet was lined wall to wall, floor to ceiling, with pictures of some young blonde woman. I can't remember all the details, but Stefan said they looked like they may have been taken without her (the young blonde woman's) knowledge.

Anyway, I think they informed a cop friend of their's, but I don't know if anything ever came of it, I'm pretty sure nothing did, since there was no way to know who this lady was.

Stefan said something kind of haunting; I have never forgotten, he said; "whoever this is, if she ever goes missing, it won't be hard to figure out what happened to her."

Anyway, creepy forty something year old bachelor, still living at home, I hope you and this lady that you had pictures of, never met and never meet. (I say had pictures of, Stefan and his friend destroyed them) I bet creepy guy came back and freaked when he saw all those pics were gone!
