I didn't know where else to ask other then Reddit. I really didn't want to have to set up an entire fucking account, but I have no idea where else to ask. First things first, I am a female, the age of 33, and I have a husband, the age of 32. A couple months ago, we bought a small house in a rural area around Henry county OH, its pretty old, but it's got a big yard for our dog to run around in and it's got an outside patio with a fire pit, so we were pretty exited when we bought it. However, a few weeks ago, we started hearing a loud thumping noise coming from our crawl space. At first I didn't even notice. But two Mondays ago, me and my husband were watching TV in our bedroom, but when I turned off the TV I was rattled by the amount of noise coming from the ground. I shrugged it off for the first few nights, but then I would sometimes hear it in the day. I would go out to vape on the patio, and I saw something move in the crawlspace. I walked up to it, when I heard this really awful growling noise. Normally I would be fine, just a growl. No... I felt this feeling of dread and terror sneak up my chest. I ran back into the house and told my husband. After a few days, we put an raccoon trap out there, and blocked up the way to the crawlspace from our basement. Well, a couple raccoons got trapped, and the noises stopped, but for some reason I was sure whatever down there never left, it just became better at hiding. We ignored it, and forgot about it after a while. However, three days ago, this foul stink started reeking throughout the house, and my husband traced it to the laundry room. (The laundry room is in my basement, and the crawl space is kind of in the same room, just off all the way in the back corner.) After it got too foul to live with, we hired some people to come clean it out. They went in, and after a while, they came out and explained that corpses of raccoons, squirrels, even cats were found in there. Me and my husband were quite relived that the stench was gone, but there was still this weird feeling about the crawl space. Why would a raccoon eat a raccoon? We reached out to our neighbors, social media, my family, my husbands family, I tried Chatgpt, no one knew what was going on! I knew that Reddit was the place to come to when there's something strange. There is something about that crawlspace that gives me the ick, especially when I go outside, I feel like there is always something watching me. Even in the house! I feel a sense of dread even returning home sometimes. I installed motion lights outside, just to scare away anything that might come towards the house. I'm already thinking of spending the night at my parents, or my husbands parents, my husband thinks that's dumb, and I kinda agree with him? IDK... I feel unsafe, and scared, and I need someone to tell me what I can do to get this thing out of my crawlspace. Whatever it is, cause there's got to be some animal living down there. I'll update when I can. Thank you for any suggestions, any help would be much appreciated.
