The home was designed in the style of desert modernism that originated from Palm Springs School of Architecture. The couple soon moved in and would eventually uncover this big secret the house was holding onto. The back garden had a suspicious metal hatch leading into the ground. This actually led to the secret that this couple was unaware of during the time they purchased the house.
A Mysterious Secret
So the Otcaseks then settled into their new house but still had not gone to see what the mysterious metal hatch in the backyard leads to. The house was a dream for this couple and they did not have any complaints as to how it was designed and built. The impressive house contained four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fireplace, and also a pool.
50 Year Old Secret
They happened to miss the metal hatch that lay in the back garden and would soon see what it was keeping all along. What lay under the metal hatch was actually a creepy shaft with a ladder that leads into the darkness. What was in this weird place and how come they never discovered it before? There was something that nobody had ever seen in over 50 years, a relic. This house was truly the best place the Otcaseks could ever find for themselves. However, the $600,000 property had something that made it distinct. It was, in fact, the metal hatch that was kept in the backyard of this home. The realtors did speak about the space under the metal hatch and suggested using it as a wine cellar or even a man cave.
Unable To Uncover
You might think that it is a little suspicious that the Otcaseks did not look inside the mysterious object. It was because they were not allowed to go inside and find out because they were not the owners and were not allowed. Until they bought the property, they could never be sure of what all it contained. As soon as they did though, they made a discovery that gave them the shock of their lives. To find out what the mysterious hatch lead to, the Otcaseks were going to have to go down a worn-out rusty latter that went fifteen feet into the complete darkness. When they reached the end of the tunnel, there was a room at the bottom. Since the room was quite deep under, it was shocking to find that it was very spacious and wide. It puzzled them even more.
The Room’s Features
They discovered the room was actually a twelve foot by twelve-foot shelter, which was constructed during the United States’ Cold War. This and a number of shelters had been built during those times to protect the people from a possible invasion. This room had been sitting there unattended and contained multiple relics that were quite popular back in the early 1960s. This happened during the 1960s and was a post-World War II political and military landscape. The was has been dubbed ‘Cold War’ because there wasn’t actually a war happening just a simple bout of spying on each other was happening. The was was actually the result of tension that grew between the Soviet Union and The United States. The two superpowers did not see eye to eye and that was the core reason for the disagreement between the two super powers
A Safety Concern
Even though the actual dates when the Cold War happened are debatable, there is a common agreement that it took place during the years 1947 and 1991. It was the time the Soviet Union collapsed. The tension fell to an all-time high during the 1960s. Many American families began to grow worried that the Soviets would plan an attack and the possibility of the nuclear attack was high. The room was still very much intact and it made them seem like time travelling just took place. The room was filled with items that were very popular during the 60s and everything was still nicely placed. Many of the families that were in fear of a greater disagreement breaking out built these shelter to protect themselves and their families from such an unpleasant situation
Supplies
There were shelves that contained everything that a person would need during their stay in the room if a huge disagreement were to take place. There were items like protein granules, cookies, liquor, coffee and other stuff that could substitute as meals. Some of the supplies it contained were Kleenex, saran wrap, and foil wrap. They still had the vintage wrappings and boxes. A fallout shelter was specially designed in the 60s so as to protect people from the harmful radio waves and other unhealthy atmospheric anomalies. The Cold War made so many families paranoid and hence these shelters were very popular. When a sad new such as this was dropped, it then releases a mass outcry and hysteria in country and can cause severe harm to all living beings.
