She Pulled Back The Carpet And Found A MANHOLE In Her Bedroom…

There’s always something about a house with a secret room that can creep anyone out. If you looked at the case of a man from the late 1800s named H.H. Holmes, he was probably the reason.

Holmes bought a property in Chicago and rented the rooms out as a hotel, and then had a series of secret rooms and passageways that he would use to kill guests. Truly some ghoulish stuff.

However, there are some secret rooms that have good purposes to them.

Take your average storm shelter or the old-school bomb shelters from the Cold War era. My grandparents had their house built in the 1960s and had a bomb shelter put in under the basement of all things.

I was eleven years old in the 1990s until I ever even knew about it.

You got to the room via a staircase and a secret door that was disguised as wood-paneled walls, obscured by a dresser that everyone said was “too heavy to move”. I gotta say, finding it by accident one day was quite the treat.

Which brings me to the case of a woman named Jennifer Little.

She had bought a house and in one of the bedrooms, there was this dresser that weighed somewhere around four hundred pounds. Not exactly something you would be moving every third Monday.

Anyway, she has some folks come over and move the dresser and sees a manhole. You know, like a manhole cover that you would see on the street.

I would imagine that seeing a manhole in the main bedroom of the house you just bought would make you pretty jittery in addition to being extremely curious.

So, they all popped the cover off the manhole and discovered something that the previous owners definitely wanted to keep hidden.

Going down a ladder and then a small staircase they found themselves standing in the middle of a Cold War era bunker that if you were given a month to restock and clean up a little you could probably use as easily as if it were built two weeks ago.

Most of the stuff that was inside looks like it hadn’t been touched in decades, especially some of the food that was found down there.

I gotta admit, if I was told that a house I was buying had a Cold War era bomb shelter inside of it I imagine that I would have snapped the place up way quicker than she did.
