Woke up with blood on the wall. Cannot figure out where it came from…
I was thinking this too - my daughter gets random nose bleeds and it looks like someone died - she has woken up with one that sprayed everywhere but hardly had any blood on her thanks to sleeping on belly/side
Why does it happen?
Usually happens when the air is really dry and you’re primarily breathing through your nose. The lining dries out and can crack.
I use to suffer from a lot of nosebleeds as a kid brought on by dry air and heat. I went to a surgeon and had an adenoidectomy to help with my extreme snoring. I noticed that once I had that procedure done I no longer had those crazy nose bleeds.
How much was the procedure? I'm currently sitting up right now after my girlfriend woke me up from snoring too loud
Yup and then the lightest bump cause cause a bleed and it’s such a pain in the ass
The pattern is wrong. I saw an episode of CSI so I'm definitely an expert /s
I was also going to say this because my nose gets crazy dry in the winter when my radiators are on so every sneeze is a little bloody.
Sorry, had a nose bleed, I live in your walls
Sorry, I caused the nose bleed, I live in your balls.
No wonder I've been shooting blanks, must get hungry down there
yes, I needed nutrition, sorry again.
Sorry man, I live in your stomach.
Oh, sorry man, did I block your throat again?
Yeah, I live in your mouth
What the fuck is going on holy shid
Damn, even my ball cancer has a Reddit account.

Get out of my walls, Faceless Old Woman.
I can’t go yet, I haven’t finished organizing the hairs I plucked from your head while you sleep by length
Wow. Not quite sure what to make of this but I'm definitely scared now
Are you Bruno?
We don't talk about bruno
No, no, no , no.
BUT!
It was my wedding day
(It was our wedding day)
We were getting ready
Two rival gangs of bed bugs had a turf war.
AYO THIS COCKROACH TURF!?!
NO HOLMES THIS CIMEX LECTARIUS TURF PENDEJO!?!
shootout occurs with the cockroaches winning cs they are spawns of satan
Wtf lol
Ikr, terrors of bug on bug violence, thats what we desperately need to solve!
No I mean…what are they shooting each other with
Well what do you think? Guns!
The bugs are armed?!
Yeah! The cimex hemipterus police department are doing a horrible job at keeping the streets safe from the roach families and lectularius cartel!
Hmm....you should write the story. I'd buy the book + read it!
Cant the friendly local spider doing anything to stop the blattodea
Memory foam vs. Spring
Who was it? The Latin Kingsize?
Those smug ass bedbugs.
I once accidentally squished a fully engorged tick that was hiding on the top of my foot. The blood that exploded from it looked just like this. Maybe you or your partner had one. Maybe check for more just incase.
Oh god
If not this, it lowkey looks like what my cousins dog had once before. If you have a dog check the end of their tail. My cousins pup had a really dry end of their tail and would whack it constantly on the walls making their house look like a horror movie
I've woken up to my kitchen looking like a murder scene after my dog found and killed a rat in the middle of the night. Not a mouse, a full sized rat.
Part of his method of killing was apparently shaking it around violently, spraying blood all over the ceilings, walls, fridge, oven, everything.
If OP does have a dog, maybe they caught a small rodent and this is the aftermath.
Well it technically was a murder scene.
They shake their prey instinctively. Its meant to break the animals neck.
Oh yeah. “Happy tail.” My dog has it.
My first 2 guesses are dog tail, but that tends to have more flick spray, and dog on heat mooshed her bum there as she turned around. Source: I run a dog kennel so multiple times I've walked in and seen a blood bath, totally freaked out. But then it's just a split ear or tail or on heat because 90% of owners with entire bitches seem to have no clue what their dogs dates are?
My beagle once got a cut on his tongue (no clue how) and I came home to blood all over the house but none on him. I was so confused, wondering if someone had broken in and he'd bit them etc. Eventually I saw him lick his white paw and it became pinkish and I figured out it was his tongue. Vet said it wasn't necessary to stitch it but man was that a crazy afternoon.
Was just going to say - my girl is in heat and the one time I took her diaper off she did just this on a wall
Yeah, whatever the reason for the stain may be, I hope it is not that tick shit
Honestly I feel like the tick explanation is the mildest one
Not necessarily. Ticks carry all kinds if diseases.
I got alcoholism from a tick
I twitch my left eye and say "fuck" from a tick
I'm just commenting here as a bookmark for when I next have an award available
You joke but I developed a nystagmus from Lyme Disease. Seriously.
... So you got a tic from a tick?
Jokes aside Lyme is nasty. Hope you're doing well.
wink
That’s a tic
Perchance.
You can’t just say perchance wherever you feel like it.
Hahahahahahaha 😂😂😂
Holy shit, I finally did enough Reddit to make a relevant reference deep in the comments that some other redditor understood.
There is a type of tick that can make you allergic to red meat
That's crazy! But I think I'd rather give up just red meat than have Lyme disease
For sure. My wife has chronic lyme disease and its the saddest shit to watch as her joints, bones, muscles, and brain slowly deteriorate. Along with a million other symptoms. :/
Be good to your local opossums!
Middle of the night cough, had a bloody nose phlegm?
Need update
My brother had ticks in his room once. He'd nag about waking up to black things on him. At first we thought it was just insects and after a few days of reading we figured it was probably bed bugs. We live in a very clean and sanitized house without any problems for decades, so this wasn't the first thing we thought of. Poor guy slept in a bed-bug ridden bed for about a week until we figured what it was. He'd brought it with him from a stay at a friend's house. Most likely that is your blood on the wall mate
Ugh that sucks. Ticks and bedbugs aren’t the same thing, just so you know.
Compared to bedbugs, ticks are a dream to find in your home.
Wait, were they ticks or bed bugs, though? It sounds like you’re describing bed bugs.
Bed bugs. Sorry, ESL, thought they were the same thing.
Or do you have a cat or dog? Maybe one of them had a tick, or just had a cut? It's about the height a dog or cat would be.
anal glands can be expressed, and it sometimes looks like this.
Anal glands should never be bloody. I'm a dog groomer and I express glands dozens of times a day. They should be any shade of brown. White, green, black, red, yellow are bad colors. And the smell would be impossible to ignore. If your dog expresses blood out of it's ass, it should be seen by a vet.
Ewe, I have heard a couple horror stories about anal gland secretions from pets...thankfully I have never had the experience. Knock on wood!
Spider fight club got nasty last night.
I thought we didn’t talk about it….
😂Imagine walking in on your pet spider lifting weights one day
Now that’s just terrifying
Of all the horrors in the world this had to be the one you post. I fucking hate ticks hah
this happened to my friend a couple months ago, mystery blood
Are they still alive?
yeah they’re alive. lightly traumatized and aware their house is haunted, but alive
This happened to my friend. He kept cleaning up mystery blood from the wall for weeks... Turns out it was his dog excitedly wagging his tail against the wall until it bled. This would happen every time he saw the mailman... Poor dog.
Also called “happy tail” !
Edit: source - worked at vet. we boarded animals and would see this sometimes on the back of kennels
Thank god they weren't possessed or anything right? Right?!
Does your friend have a dog or cat? Pets shaking blood from small wounds can cause splatters that look exactly like this. I know from experience, sadly.
Are you 100% sure it's blood? It looks odd somehow, but I'm no forensic expert.
Could be a stain from food/drink
That's what I was wondering, although OP would probably remember spilling sauce on the wall lol
I don't know sometimes when I get some chicken parm in front of me I black out and come to about 15 minutes later with an empty plate. Anything could've happened in that time.
Mm well for me I’ve spilt stuff or stuff has spilt by itself before and sometimes I don’t see the stain until later
That's true, they could have just missed it at the time I guess?
Underrated comment. Once woke up with a bed full of cookies after taking Xanax and no recollection of why! 🤣😂
We don’t eat in the bedroom
Lick it youll find out
Well I assume you don’t bleed in the bedroom either, yet here we are.
It could be a mold/bacteria
But weird it was on the blinds too. I’ve seen your exact picture before and I am almost positive in our incident it was a mold/bacteria
What kind of mild does this? I had a house I lived in that had some stains like this.
After a while blood usually turns different colour due to deoxygenating or other reasons
movies have altered what i think blood should look like. it's to the point where i'm almost always surprised what it looks like when i see it in real life
Every time I'm surprised at how bright it is compared to movies
The blood would be a lot darker, almost dark brown. Dried blood also gets a lil flaky.
A mosquito sucked your blood and then drunkenly crashed into the wall and exploded
Them mfs know how to kamikaze now ? great...

Pour hydrogen peroxyde in one of the spots. If release bubles, possibly is blood. The Pattern do not look too "bloodish" to me, but the test Will help you figure It out.
The Pattern of the bigger one indicates a fall, so the ceiling have any blood? If not, It was trown from certain distance. Do you have any pets? A dog shaking could trow blood around.
Sorry for mistakes, english isn't my first language.
No need to apologize for your grammar, you speak more than one language, you’re doing better than most people!
How the fuck do you know this?
lol I'm a chemist, not a murderer
Yet
That’s what a murderer would say
I mean, they are not mutually exclusive
No one said anything about you being a murderer....
I’m something of a scientist myself.
I'm a chemist, not a murderer
that sounds like it should be on a mug or a tshirt or something.
Hi Dexter
Pretty much all women know how hydrogen peroxide reacts to blood lmao.
lol yeah since about the age of 12 or so
Never cleaned a would with hydrogen peroxide I take it?
They went to school? I’m taking Forensics next year so
Maybe you have a pipe leaking water behind your wall and there is rust in or on the pipe?
Believe it or not but this happened at my parents house and looks very similar and that's exactly what it turned out to be.
There’s no Sheetrock bleed through, this definitely came from an external source, not within the wall, even not considering the blinds.
This needs to be higher up. Had this in my closet and turned out to be a leak from my roomies bathroom.
Wait I also just noticed it is splattered on the blinds? If so, that's not a leaking pipe 😅
The fact this is near a window adds a whole other level of creepy to this
Yeah, I’d be afraid an intruder opened the window, got cut somehow, and left. u/Ok_Series_1883, was the window locked, and is it still locked?
I’m not even OP and that sentence freaked me out
I fucking just finished Night Stalker
Fuck
It is not locked. None of the windows are… fuck.
If you have a pet it may be that. My cat used to leave streaks like that on the wall sometimes if she had a UTI.
Was going to say this. My dogs has a super happy tail and she hits it on everything and sometimes it will bleed and get on the walls but it usually doesn’t look like this it’s like little blood splatters everywhere.
I agree with the pet theory. It looks a lot like if a cat or dog had a scab or cut on an ear and then shook their head, which they’d likely do if it was bleeding or itchy.
One time I woke up and there was a red brown liquid all over my chest. I was so confused. Had I been shot? No, I fell asleep eating chicken nuggets and rolled over onto bbq sauce
Someone tried to break in but cut themselves and bailed
"imma jump through this window and.."
got cut
"that's it i'm out"
More like: tried to climb through window, cuts self, sees there is people in the room, "ah shit people are in", bails
i dont know... there's tiny blood stains on the "curtains" as well... looks like whatever it was, came from inside the house
Why wouldn't they at least wipe the blood? That's a lot of DNA evidence to leave behind
My dad deadass shot a guy who broke into our house. Police still wouldn’t scan the blood to figure out who it was.
My friend had her house broken into and she got the license plate off the van from her doorbell camera. Cops didn't even bother running the number and never went after anyone.
Do you think the cops would ever run DNA? They won’t even call out the CSI van. Not worth the time. They almost never run DNA short of a murder. Just like they never lift prints or any of that shit.
You should probably move.
This happened to me as well. Found several spots, drips, runs in multiple rooms over the course of a month or so. Ranged from close to baseboard up to 6inches from the ceiling. Then stopped suddenly, and never seen again. How old is your house? Not that it matters, but maybe? Mine is from 1875.
Edit: Never found any in the bedroom, or rooms with plumbing in the walls. And they were found in rooms on multiple floors of the house.
Edit 2: one spot showed up less than 30min after painting the wall, and looked like a horizontal splatter down 1ft from the ceiling.
Probably nicotine coming through the paint
Had to go deep down the thread to find you’re the first. This is it, smokers used to live there. Likely was just painted over
I definitely considered this. Used to work remodeling and once had to do an apartment of someone who retired and chain smoked for 20+ yrs inside. Everything looked like it was oozing and melting from all the buildup.
We bought the house from what were essentially flippers, so it’s very possible heavy smoke was painted over. But some rooms they didn’t paint and it doesn’t seem like those walls have nicotine coverage. The house also has oil furnace and multiple wood stoves, so maybe old buildup from those finding it’s way through paint?
This happens to me also, it is an old paint thing.
Is it possible it came from the ceilings ? Do you have a room up there or some neighbor?
Dead body in the attic perhaps?
Change your locks.
Did you cough in your sleep?
It’s on my bfs side and no he did not cough last night and no blood on the bedsheets. You think there would be blood on the bedsheets…
Check his body. He might have a cyst that popped in a roll over.
This is gross but I think someone blew their nose (snot rocket) on the wall. I saw my father-in-law do this and it looked exactly like what you have pictured. It was really gross but he was suffering from dementia at the time.
Do you have like a pet or something?
Y'all have gas in your house? Check for a carbon monoxide leak maybe? There was some thing on here a while ago about a dude doing stuff in a weird state and not knowing it....turns out he was slowly being poisoned by monoxide
For everyone saying we have bedbugs. We do not.
Where's your loft/attic hatch and have you checked up there or in your basement (if you have one)?
If you're instinctively certain it's blood, then you need to eliminate the obvious and check thoroughly.
Not a nice thought, but always best to dispel the worst ones first eh!
It’s a small blood trail. Your house demon must still be a baby. Don’t worry, he’ll be flipping crosses upside down and making things levitate in no time!
Hi OP, this doesn't look like any sort of animal blood I've seen before. Blood has chemical factors that keep it from separating, which is vital to its function. Bloodstains on solid surfaces are usually much more consistent in colour and texture than what your photos show, like it wouldn't separate into a thin aqueous phase and a thick solid phase (at least not right away).
Impossible to know exactly what it is without sampling and analyzing it, but it certainly doesn't look like animal blood.
Source: I am a healthcare professional, have a biomedical degree, and have worked with a decent amount of blood samples. I specify "animal" blood because I have zero experience with other types, like insects for example.
Please look into the possibility that yourself or another person in your house may be experiencing dissociation or lapses in consciousness. I wouldn’t bet that it is likely, but it is absolutely worth checking. Mental health is no different from physical health.
Edit: Also look into carbon monoxide poisoning as others have noted.
Wall has a boo boo :(
Get your wall a band-aid you jerk!
I don’t mean to sound like a horror film fanatic but maybe you should consider getting some cameras set up (like home security cameras) to see if something has been going on while you are out. That’s the only solution I can really think of. Please keep safe OP.
Your wall just on its lady’s day
How much did you drink last night?
Snot rocket with a bit too much oomf behind it?
Bloody nose sneeze?
