Gotta love those secret passageways.
Hey, guys, I'm court McGinley and welcome back to the Most amazing top 5.
Let's jump right into our list of the top 5 scary secret rooms found hidden in peoples
houses.
Coming in at our number 5 spot--Attic- This story comes to us from Norway where someone
posted some pretty creepy pictures online.
He was in his attic one day and he actually discovered a hidden room.
Yeah, imagine that you're just cleaning and you stumble across this little door that leads
to who knows were.
This is reminding me of Alice in Wonderland.
Start to 9 seconds.
So he did what any normal person would do- he went and checked out what the heck was
on the other side of that door.
Upon inspection, it was believed that this room had been hidden and undisturbed since
World War 2.
That’s both really cool and pretty freaky.
Inside the room there was a sign- it said- if you have a bad stomach then you don't have
access.
What do you guys think that means?
Like if your lactose and tolerant you cant go in?
I don’t know.
There were also some pretty cool things found in this room such as- a lamp alarm which back
in the day was used to warn anybody nearby when someone was entering.
There was also a map of western Europe- and a doll's shoe.
No doll- just the shoe.
In at number 4--Behind the bookshelf- yep just like a lot of horror movies, this one
has a secret room hidden behind a bookshelf.
Back in 2005, a couple found a secret corridor hidden behind a bookcase in a room they were
renovating for their son.
This corridor leads them to an empty room with a note left from the previous owner.
On the note the words you found it were written on it.
Upon reading the note the previous homeowners explained that this house had a very serious
black mold problem.
It was so bad in fact that it actually made their children very sick.
The new family immediately canceled their reno plans and sued the broker who sold them
their house.
Yeah, this is my nightmare come true.
You spend pretty much your whole life savings on a house, plus have to get a mortgage taken
out just to find out the people who owned it before you are evil and you cant live there
because its hazardous to your health.
Like yeah, I get wanting the house off your hands but to sell it to another family with
children so those kids can get sick too.
That’s just messed up.
Black mold is a silent killer after all so yeah this is really dangerous.
At number 3--University housing- For this one were heading over to Ohio State University
where a group of students was renting out a house for the new school year.
You know as students do.
Everything was going fine until after living there for a few weeks they began to hear creepy
noises at night- and then soon after that, they would wake up to all of their cupboards
being open.
At first, they started getting angry at one another assuming each other was being messy
but they all swore it wasn’t them.
So then they came to the only logical conclusion..
that their place must be haunted.
One day the boys stumbled across this random door in their basement that they hadn’t
noticed before.
So they opened it- and discovered a very small room- it was probably supposed to be used
for storage.
However, upon opening this door they saw a double bed mattress on the floor- textbooks
and some photographs.
So clearly someone was squatting there rent free.
So the roommates quickly locked the door- and left a note for the squatter warning them
not to come back.
The squatter was then revealed to be a boy named Jeremy.
Jeremy came clean to the roommates and said that he gained access to this house from his
cousin who used to live there.
The roommates weren't mad after meeting Jeremy but they did tell him he had to go.
Coming in at number 2--Room of doom- This story brings us back 4 years ago to 2014 when
a man found a hidden crawl space while looking around in his attic.
So, of course, he had to investigate.
Turns out this crawl space lead to a locked door – behind the door was a room that had
the walls-floor- and ceiling completely covered with soundproof boards.
And these were also some plastic tarps on the floor and up along the walls as well.
There were also 4 power outlets and a small platform off to the side of the room.
There's no doubt that this-this is extremely rare and beyond creepy.
Yeah, this definitely sounds like a psycho killer's secret layer to me.
I mean why else do you need the door locked- and the tarp and the soundproofing?
Yep, secret torture room for sure.
Also found in the room- as if all of this wasn’t enough- was a safe containing some
VHS tapes.
The man who now lived in this house tried to play them but he was unable to- so he handed
them over to the police.
To be honest I don’t know if I would even want to see what was on those.
In at number 1--Brother discovery- So this story goes as followed 2 brothers were playing
fighting in their parent's room when one of them fell backward onto a built-in bookshelf.
He actually fell back on it so hard that the bookshelf actually shifted and then opened
revealing a hidden room with a spiral staircase.
Of course, if you make a discovery like this you're going to have to go and check it out.
So these 2 curious brothers made there way down the staircase which ended up leading
them to a creepy crawl space.
Down in the crawlspace, the brothers found Halloween candy and a fresh banana peel.
The boys quickly put 2 and 2 together and realized that someone was living in their
walls.
They realized that the Halloween candy was actually theirs that they had been keeping
in their rooms.
Meaning this random person went into the kid's room and took it.
The boys took a picture and got the heck out of there.
They then told their parents who called investigators.
And using forensic science they realized that the squatter had only been living there temporarily.
There were also no other entrances aside from this bookshelf.
Which means this person probably snuck in and out as the parents were sleeping or maybe
when they weren't even home.
Regardless of having an intruder in your house is a scary thing.
The creepiest part is that this person has still not been found- and since this discovery,
the parents have boarded up the room.
So yeah I don’t think this person will be coming back anytime soon.
Yeah, that’s pretty messed up.
Alright, there you have it that was our list of the top 5 scary secret rooms found hidden
in peoples houses.
