An unsuspecting woman has made a creepy discovery under her bed, and it truly is the stuff of ghost stories.

We all remember the tales we swap at camps and sleepovers - clumsy, ‘scary’ stories designed to terrify and impress our mates, but too outlandish to cause us any real concern.

Now however, the outlandish has come back to haunt one woman, literally.

Posting to Mumsnet the woman revealed a miscommunication between her and her husband which stopped them both dead in their tracks.

“We're moving house,” the woman explained on the popular forum. “DH (dear husband) said to me, what do you want to do with the pictures under the bed?”

A normal question you may say, but no it most certainly was not.

”I had no idea what he was on about. I never put pictures under the bed,” the bewildered, and increasingly nervous woman said.

“He drags out two dusty old frames from under the bed. I've never seen them in my life,” she goes on.

“One of them had a charcoal drawing of a woman called Rachel. I've never clapped eyes on it before.”

At a stalemate, her husband insisted she must have forgotten she purchased them, which she stringently denied.

The one thing they can both agree on? They were certainly not there when they moved in.

A lady called Rachel

The picture itself hardly helps matters - a charcoal abstract that bears a faint form of a naked woman, and a name and date printed on the back.

The woman’s post sparked fierce debate and theories, with some people suggesting she may have bought them and forgotten them.

This, it turns out, would not be possible.

“There's no physically possible way I would have been able to lug them up two flights of stairs into the flat,” she wrote

Some theorised about the darker implications of the painting.

“Rachel lives under your bed and skitters across your ceiling at night,” was one horrifying suggestion.

“Is the woman in the picture getting older everyday?” another queried.

Others couldn’t disguise their goosebumps after hearing the story.

“Ooo thats weird,” one wrote.

Others had just one theory - the husband did it.

“Ooooh this is spooky. I think it must have been your husband, but why I've no idea!” one wrote.

“My bet is it’s DH playing a prank,” another theorised.

With no definitive resolution yet reached, the woman’s own theory might make the most sense - but it’s a terrifying thought.

“Someone - an adult - has stashed their Rachel pic in my home under my bed and I didn't know about it,” she wrote.

Safe to say we’ll all be having a peek under the bed tonight - just in case theres another Rachel on the loose.
