ShivamOld places and things generally showcase something that leaves us amazed and pondering about its very existence. But, for this couple, a simple task of renovating their basement turned out to be memorable and something that they will remember for being extremely shrouded in mystery.
An Old House
A young couple even in their wildest dream hadn’t thought about the discovery from their basement. When they decided to buy a house built in the 1940s, they were just aware of the fact that it had multiple owners over the last couple of decades.
Remodeled The Basement
They decided to get their basement remodeled, not a completely though, as they couldn’t afford it. Consequently, they were up to the task to clean it up and make it appear as good as possible. During this process, they were amazed to find strange writings and drawings on the wall.
Liking To Nazis
The walls were adorned with a string of Swastikas, which were scratched on it. To them, it seemed that the previous owners might have been a Nazi supporter as the house was built in the 1940’s. “I am a 35 years old do-it-yourselfer, so I had remodeled everything on the first and second floors when it came time to remodel the basement,” the current owner said.
Heap Of Dust
Moving ahead on their task of renovation, they started by removing the basement ceiling. But, the task didn’t turn up to be that simple as they had expected. “There was a good 1/4 inch of dust on the ceiling. We put up plastic to keep the dust out of the rest of the house, then we exposed and patched the air returns first,” the current owner explained.
A Strange Discovery
They were on to their task with all their vigor. Suddenly, they were taken aback by the sight of a box concealed in the ceiling. It was when they were working down in one of the basement’s corners that they found the mysterious box hidden next to a pipe.
Growing Curiosity
The interesting fact that the house was very old, precisely being built in the 1940s, and had gone through multiple owners intrigued the couple all the more. From the moment they saw the box, they went restless. Along with speculating about the contents of the box, the couple had a constant fear as to what might they discover.
