It’s amazing what you find in old houses sometimes. When I was growing up my grandparents lived in a pretty big house that had what I thought was a small basement.
There was this wood paneling stuff around the walls and we just pretty much accepted them as the walls.
Until one day about ten years ago I was going to the basement to clean the place up when I was visiting one time.
I was moving a chair and accidentally knocked a hole through one of the wood pieces. Imagine my surprise when I see a whole other two bedrooms and a hallway leading to them on the other side.
I looked in and I saw what looked like a duplicate of the basement. There was a big metal door on the other side that led to the small hallway and what looked like two bedrooms.
For decades, my grandparents had a Cold War-style fallout shelter in their house and didn’t tell a soul.
My own mother went through her entire life having no idea that the fallout shelter was there, or if she did she certainly never told me. I suppose the idea was to make sure that we didn’t want to go play in it or something.
From what I can gather, if they got the word that things were going down, Grandpa would break down the false wall and they would go in there until the dust settled.
You never really do know what is on someone else’s property. Recently a woman named Rebecca Hobson was outside in the yard of a home she had recently purchased and saw what looked like a large decorative stone.
Imagine her surprise when she was able to move the stone. What was on the other side of that stone slab was something completely unbelievable.
On the other side, was a secret passageway that led to a tunnel that was somewhere around a hundred and sixty feet long. at the end of the tunnel was an old emergency bunker that neighbors estimated had been around since the 1940s.

Even the path leading to the bunker itself was an adventure with little clues scattered all about. There were secret doors, secret passageways, and secret rooms.
It has practically everything that you might need to survive a disaster of great proportions. Heck, it’s even great if you want to just have people leave you alone for a while.
