Woman Shares 'Red Flags' From Her Home Including 1896 Tombstone in the Front Yard

A woman has shared the numerous "red flags" she found when moving into her house, including a tombstone in the front yard dating back to the 1800s.

Alyssa Weyand shared a clip to her TikTok account, @chokingnoises, as she filmed interesting features around the property.

She said: "Red flags at our 1930s home, umbrella closet full of old owner's stuff. Coraline door? Old-fashioned grease trap. Basement room (no thanks.) Basement window (no thanks.)

"Headstone in the front garden. Abandoned mansion next door. Cemetery out back, of course."

The video, shared in November, was watched more than 4 million times, and can be seen here, as followers demanded updates to the quirky details of her home.

Chatting to Newsweek, the 19-year-old explained her mom owned the five bed, two-and-a-half bath house, which six people call home.

Her family bought it in 2015, as she said: "My mom was in love with this house before we ever even considered buying it, I remember passing by when someone else was looking at it and she joked, 'stop looking at our house!'—weeks later we ended up touring it and deciding it was perfect.

"I practically grew up in my aunt's antique store, my whole family loves everything vintage or 'old.'"

She said they're trying to leave "as much untouched" as possible, but said: "We have removed wallpaper and painted in the bathrooms, and repainted most of the rooms downstairs. The only room that has been completely redone is my daughter's nursery."

Weyand, who lives in Ohio, posted another seven videos addressing everything from the basement to the tombstone, and abandoned mansion.

The mom claimed due to a falling-out with the owner of the mansion she's not been able to explore it.

But she did do some digging on the tombstone, which carries the name Homer, saying: "Sometimes I wonder if it's a bit older...The headstone in the garden is dated 1898 and the last name matches the family that built the house."

However, after researching it further, she told Newsweek: "I was having trouble reading the year on the headstone in the garden but according to findagrave.com it is dated 1896, I recently discovered that Homer has another headstone in the cemetery behind our house in his family's plot."

In another clip, she said: "When we were looking at the house, the realtor actually told us they found it when they were digging up to lay concrete for the garage.

"As ya'll can see, the cemetery is quite a ways away from here, we've lived here for about six years now. I think it's safe to say there are no corpses on the property, I really couldn't tell you why they chose to put him in the front garden but I think it's kind of fitting."

Possibly sharing an explanation, TikToker Alexander wrote: "It's probably a mistake stone / practice stone. They'll use the [stone] for pavers or other projects if they make a mistake on a headstone."

In response, Weyand said: "Definitely possible. Did some research and found out he has a plot in the cemetery!"

In another clip she did a walk-through of the inside, and revealed on the other side the Coraline door was what looked like a dishwasher.

Sharing a possible explanation, TikToker Missy said: "That Coraline door I think would have been the milk door for deliveries."

She also opened up the basement, claiming it's "completely untouched (besides the deadbolt) since we moved in, for obvious reasons."

In response to numerous comments from people, Weyand defended the house in a separate clip, saying: "We live there, it's okay, we've lived there for six years at this point I think, it's normal on the inside, believe it or not."

Although in the same clip she also shared stories of hearing footsteps in the attic, lights flickering and "weird feelings."

"It's a big house, it's dark and spooky at night," she said.

She told Newsweek: "The one thing I can say I have definitely experienced in this house is strange feelings, some say that is the first sign of a ghost but others disagree.

"I like to keep an open mind about it. Once, I was cooking breakfast with my friends and the light over the stove kept flickering in a strange pattern. when we told it to stop, it stopped.

"The most 'strange' activity we get is definitely from the attic, my boyfriend and I actually heard footsteps above our bedroom last night. When I went downstairs of course all of my family and cats were down there."

Commenting on the videos, people were convinced her home was straight out of a horror film, as Tamara commented: "Yup, your house is definitely screaming Conjuring vibes."

Miraculous_Ms.Foxx asked: "So on a scale of 1 to hell naw, how haunted is it?"

Makayla said: "You're literally living in The Conjuring franchise oh my god."

Silje (Celia) admitted: "The... headstone, that's where I draw the line."

Jacob wrote: "There's literally a body in the garden dude how haunted can a place be."

While Evanjacobsen joked: "Never knew I needed an umbrella closet."

And Milly.kay added: "I see nothing but green flags, I love old places like this with character."
