I looked inside my hoarder neighbour’s house and was left horrified – the cleaners even found dead cats amongst the mess
A STUNNED woman has revealed that she peeked inside her hoarder neighbour’s home – only to be left totally horrified by what she saw.
The woman lives in a maisonette in the US and was left baffled when her neighbour of three years abruptly moved out in the middle of the night.
A shocked woman has shared a snap inside her hoarder neighbour’s home[/caption] Not only are there countless pizza boxes and fizzy drink cans, but there was even dead cats amongst the mess[/caption]After taking a look inside her neighbour’s property to see what was going on, she was horrified to see mountains of rubbish, with all things from takeaway wrappers, pizza boxes and paper bags, to fizzy drink cans and countless black sacks full of waste.
And if you thought that was bad, prepare to be horrified, as she even claimed that professional cleaners, who were sent in to dispose of the waste, even found dead cats amongst the endless plastic and beer bottles.
Shocked by the huge pile of rubbish, which covered the entire room and was so huge it was almost touching the ceiling, the anonymous woman took to social media to share it with others, leaving many in complete shock.
Posting on Reddit, on the r/oddlyterrifying thread, the woman, who writes under the username @mama_ji, uploaded a picture of the mess.
Alongside her post, she wrote: “Our duplex neighbour of three years mysteriously moved in the middle of the night.
“We had never seen the inside of his house the whole time.
“Now we know why.”
The woman claimed that despite living in the same building and contrary to what people may think, she and her partner “never smelt anything” from her neighbour’s flat.
She also shared that it’s not just her neighbour’s house that is filled with mess – it’s his car too.
She explained: “We only found out because I saw him on our Ring [camera] dragging stuff and his dog into a company car, because his was so messy it couldn’t be driven, and woke up to this.”
The bewildered woman phoned her neighbour immediately after his departure, as she shared: “Worse, when we asked him why he left, he said it was because his rent was being RAISED to $600. A two bed condo with a backyard and all.”
Not only this, but she also revealed that her neighbour claimed the landlords “wanted me out”.
What is a hoarder & is it a medical condition?
According to the NHS, Hoarding is a mental health problem that involves storing an “excessive” number of items in an unmanageable way. Newspapers, clothes, junk mail, bills, containers, and household supplies are among the variety of items kept.
The disorder can impact a person’s everyday life by putting a strain on relationships when someone else tries to clear the clutter and also makes it difficult to move around the house. The condition causes unhygienic living conditions, fire risks, and trip hazards.
Hoarding is often associated with other mental health conditions including severe depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia.
A GP can recommend the best treatment, which may include therapy or antidepressants.
Due to his swift exit, the neighbour reportedly said: “I didn’t even have a chance to clean some of it up.”
Reddit users react
Reddit users were left horrified by the image of inside the hoarder’s home – and many eagerly flocked to the comments to share their thoughts.
One person questioned: “How does hoarding get this bad? For real. What’s the progression?
“Does it start with an overflowing garbage can morphing into a garbage pile? It’d be wild to see a time lapse.”
The scream of the cleaning lady was what woke us up

In response, the Reddit author replied: “I couldn’t tell you. And this man worked with an animal shelter and fostered dogs also having one himself.”
Another advised: “I’d call your insurance and a lawyer. There’s a high chance that whatever infestations are (almost guaranteed to be) in his home have spread to yours as well.”
The next-door-neighbour wrote back and confirmed: “We did look and nothing! The building is quite old and all concrete.”
A third commented: “Wonder how many dead cats [are] in there.”
To this, the Reddit poster responded: “DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER!!! That was one of the saddest things they found.
“The scream of the cleaning lady was what woke us up actually.”
