You can place adjectives right after something, anything, nothing, someone, anyone, no one.I noticed something unusual on my way home.
Of course, the adjectives are actually predicative rather than attributive as something unusual is short for "something that was unusual". Similar reasoning applies to participles placed right after the nouns they qualify.
The other adjective that qualifies for your definition is PROPER
