Instead, they found an old one-dollar bill taped to the wall alongside a handwritten note dating back almost two decades.<BR><br \/>\nThe message, dated September 2008, was signed by a man named Billy and read: \u201cThis will be the last time I hang wallpaper for Pat. Good luck to Pat\u2019s new victim. I feel your pain.\u201d<BR><br \/>\nTommi shared the discovery on TikTok, showing the moment Jared called her upstairs to see what he had found. The clip quickly gained attention, with viewers speculating whether the note hinted at something sinister.<BR><br \/>\nIn reality, the \u201cvictim\u201d reference appears to have been a dark joke. Tommi explained that Pat was the previous homeowner and that Billy was likely a decorator fed up with repeatedly re-papering the same house.<BR><br \/>\nSpeaking to Newsweek, Tommi said: \u201cMy fianc\u00e9 called me over from upstairs, and I walked in and saw the dollar first. I thought that was super cool. Then, as I read the note and saw the date, it was emotional. The note was hilarious, but to think about how it was there for no one to see for almost 20 years gives you chills.\u201d<BR><br \/>\nThe couple have since uncovered another relic \u2014 an old box of cough lozenges, thought to have been hidden even earlier than the note.<BR><br \/>\nRather than throwing the items away, Tommi plans to preserve them. She said she intends to frame the note and dollar bill, alongside the lozenge box, and hang them in the bathroom as a permanent reminder of the home\u2019s hidden history.<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/bangbizarre.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Visit Bang Bizarre (main website) <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><script src=\"https:\/\/geo.dailymotion.com\/player\/xtbac.js\" data-video=\"\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2026-02-09 17:01:15 A couple renovating their new home were left stunned after uncovering a bizarre message to a &#8220;new victim&#8221; hidden behind their bathroom wallpaper.
