This is the last thing a DIY enthusiast wants to find when decorating an old house.

Alex Moss from Manchester was replacing the floor in his bedroom in Prestwich when he discovered this very creepy letter hidden in the fireplace.

It said: “Hello, welcome to my room, it’s 2001 and I am decorating this room. Hope you enjoy your life, remember that I will always be watching you! Later, Darren Lucas.”

He decided to post the message on Twitter with the hashtag #finddarrenlucas and managed to track him down in just a couple of hours.

Mr Lucas helpfully confirmed he is not actually watching the house, with the pair exchanging pleasantries on the site:

He added: “Really hope you enjoy the house as much as we all did. We have had some awesome parties there!!!

“Family lived there for 20 years. Bit emotional leaving. I will hold on to the memories I have! But thanks mate.”

Last year, a university student came up with a novel way to ask a girl out for coffee by giving her a rather imaginative love note.

The student who received it posted the note on Twitter with the caption: "Some guy in the library gave me this and it was the most awkward experience of my life. 10/10 for creativity though."

It has been shared by more than 25,000 Twitter users, with many praising the student’s efforts to secure a date.

"That is the funniest thing I've seen all day, I think you should go just for that 10/10 effort," commented one.

Another added: "That's the most awesome thing ever! Well done that chap!"

Meanwhile, these kind-hearted strangers surprised a WWII veteran with a touching note at a birthday meal.
