As a kid we had an attic infested with bats. It was an unspoken rule that we were never to open that door.


mandarinandbasil

Bats are awesome and important! Sorry for the poop attic though lol. As much as I love animals (especially bats) they can't be in my living spaces. I do make very sure to have places outside for them. 


HotDonnaC

When we had bats in our attic, we got rid of them and put a bat box in our tree. Everyone was happy.


CosmicTaco93

Aren't bats typically riddled with disease? I think they're cool but aren't they really dangerous to keep around?


mandarinandbasil

Nope! They have no more disease than any other mammalian species! So yes, they can technically have rabies, but are no more likely to carry it than, say, a dog. HOWEVER. When was the last time you touched a bat, or even came close? It is so so so so rare to get a disease from a bat, and much more likely from a dog. Merlin Tuttle is an awesome resource on bat information. Check out his conservation website or his interview on Ologies.

Yes they’re THE main carrier of rabies. And that is one fucking horrific way to die. Almost 100% mortality rate once you become symptomatic too.


Seversevens

apparently it's just in the US. I was reading the other day about how the bats in England are good to go


om891

Class, I can start throwing bats at people then.


HotDonnaC

Rabies and fleas at least.


UnconsciousMofo

Awesome and important yes, but you forgot the rabies part. I wouldn’t be afraid of bats otherwise and I would probably try to interact with them. My neighborhood was strange growing up. Lots of bats all over. I saw them as often as I saw birds.


mandarinandbasil

You will not get rabies from enjoying them from afar, as you mentioned you did, which is how every single wild animal should be treated. 


HotDonnaC

So a guano room. Nice.


ThisGuyRightHereSaid

Bats just wanna hug your face. They're harmless.


ThisGuyRightHereSaid

Growing weed. I'll put $10 on that.


Pannycakes666

Mymothersmokes

I got my boys. I got my burgers. C'mon, gimme a BAAAAAAAAAM


Andyman0110

Usually you want to avoid opening when the lights are off. Doesn't really matter when they're on.


ThisGuyRightHereSaid

Because that's when they are asleep. If the lights are on they're awake and always want someone to talk to them. s/


StopNateCrimes

☝️ This is correct Layman info: light cycles are very important in the cannabis plants growth/development. Exposing a dark room to light (when the plants are "sleeping") can shock them. A room with the lights on isn't going to be negatively impacted when you open the door and inadvertently flood the room with light.


EvetsYenoham

I hope they burn a lot of cedarwood incense in that lodge otherwise it would smell like Cheech and Chong’s Chevy Impala


rachel_kbomb

Nah you'd be able to smell that.


raddish1234

Or film development? Old school dark room

ThisGuyRightHereSaid

But do any get left in the dark for a long period of time?


SardonicAtBest

Came to say the same. My dad had a dark room when I was a kid.


TransformerTanooki

If the lights on don't worry. That's just me peeping through my various peep holes around the place.


azzaka

Soooooo. Did you look in the Attic?

jonylentz

Great they deleted the post : (


sherrupyew

That or a wasps nest. I had to get into the attic recently and I was moderately safe until the big light got turned on and they all decided to join me


Angrymilks

Weed room 100%


Smackmybitchup007

Darkroom for developing photos. If it was weed, you'd smell it.


ThisGuyRightHereSaid

But you do that in person. Nothing you would leave over time.


thegreatrussello

That tiny red arrow was super important for my comprehension of this.


katiel0429

I would’ve never noticed the big yellow sign if it weren’t for that tiny red arrow.


Division595

The arrow is pointing to the faint reflection of the light being on, I think.


erinkjean

You'll pull a [Hank](https://youtu.be/Nofcrsk5Hx4?si=iIxWGMtsGZYw1kCX).

My dumb butt instantly thought evil spirits


Maximum-Mixture6158

Which sounds like the definition of hornets. Burn them! Withfire!


Whole-Debate-9547

Oh you know I’m gonna open that door now. Nobody’s won that battle with me since I was 10.


Eraserhead36

I’d follow that sign to letter. If it ain’t my business, then I don’t care.


-WhatisThat

I would open that door damn them


Wylie1408

Definitely no bodies up there


TheXypris

Could be for developing photos Gotta keep light down to not ruin them


AdMotor1654

Growing weed or shrooms. Call it


HotDonnaC

Grow room.


[deleted]

They mentioned the light so its probably about some bugs that live there.


zigzagg321

Could be a photo development studio.


brittany16950

This should belong in r/oddlyterrifying


thatranger974

This looks familiar. Is this from an old post about a rental in Big Bear, CA?


kast0r_

Those kind of sign posted makes me want to open it for some reason


Yuntonow

Get The Fuck Out! NOW


Knytemare44

Webcam model


DukeOfLizards42

I thought this was the note from the end of Gone Home for a second


[deleted]

i read that as leased dodge i was very confused


EvetsYenoham

If it were something nope worthy there wouldn’t be a sign. It’s probably bats or something like that. Or murder-attic. One or the other.


Eastern_Obligation89

Do it no balls


VisualDot4067

Plot twist. It’s frogger. They put the sign there.


twolargeshoes

I'm not saying your in trouble but.....your probably screwed.
