    Soooooo i spent most of this evening cleaning out my back garden getting ready for a bbq on sat, i had to do some painting and contimplated painting the top op my back wall

    I went over looked at my back wall and decided against it

    My husband also cleaned spider webs off the back wall

    Two hours later after watching tv, decided to call dog in but she refused to come in, she was sitting staring at something on the wall

    We went to see what it was, half an onion had been placed on my back wall

    Wtf ??? Only access is through my garden, someone had to of put it there

    I would guess someone was climbing over the wall and it came off their belt.

    There was a single crinkle cut chip in my back garden the other day. I found a lump of coal another day and a slice of bread once, plus all sorts of other random stuff. The only access to the garden is through the house, so either there are a lot of birds in the area who can't carry as much as they thought they could or one of my neighbours is trying to mess with my head.

    It was probably dropped by a migrating swallow.

    A friend of mine some years ago was constantly whinging about missing socks and wooden clothes pegs from his washing line. Only the wooden ones, which was weird. He presumed it was the neighbourhood kids 'aving a larf. Last Summer he went to clear some trees from the end of his garden and found a load of crows nests in the tree made from....

    Yep. True story. Wouldn't put anything past those pesky corvids.

    Onions take the smell from the paint.

    Maybe you are haunted and the ghost dosent like the smell of paint.

    **top tip**

    Cut the onion in half and put it into a bowl of water first and no tears.

    A cut onion is an old trick for getting rid of the smell of fresh paint. I've never heard of it being used outdoors though.

    Correct.

    This. I expect your neighbor was sitting in garden, oppressed by the paint smell, and put an onion on wall in hope to absorb it.
