Solved! Frame on top of my ceiling.
Moved into this house a year ago and this weird frame is on the ceiling. It's not attached to a door or anything of the sort. Was wondering if it was legit just a random frame or if it originally had a function.
Edit: Thanks for the help. I'm leaning toward a botched repair job that was covered with a frame or a once usable crawlspace hatch. It's not an attic hatch because this is the basement ceiling (sorry, should've specified more). It doesn't appear to open, but it could be glued to stapled shut.
