Spine-Chilling Neighbor Encounters

Airing Her Dirty Laundry

When I was growing up, there was a middle-aged lady who lived across the street with her young daughter. Every day I would see her walk down the road carrying two large laundry bags, and later she would return with them. She did this almost every day.

I was curious as to how just the two of them needed to do so much laundry so frequently. I thought she was just a total weirdo—but later, I learned the heartbreaking story behind it. Years later, my mom told me the lady had been a refugee from WWII Germany.

She was terrified that she would leave the house and the Gestapo would raid it when she was out. Therefore, she always carried all of her clothes with her everywhere she went. Story credit: Reddit / (mozgw4)
