Campaign ManagerChris and Colleen Otcasek were just an ordinary couple. They wanted to get a place of their own and started looking for a house that they were happy with. So just like any other couple would do, these two started contacting agents to help them look for houses. When they were scouting for a new home, they found a place that they both agreed on. It was located in a neighborhood that the two both liked, so they were adamant on getting the place. Little did they know that this place contained a secret in the back garden that was about to shock everyone…
Brand New House
Chris and Colleen Otcasek were just like any other married couple. They decided that it was about time they found a place of their own. They started searching for homes in Los Angeles, California. When they saw a house in Philiprimm Street, they both agreed that it was the best option. This house was situated in the San Fernando Valley Neighborhood, Woodland Hills. It was constructed by famous architect Charles DuBois in the 60s. The house was all that they had ever wanted because the interiors and the whole outlay of the place was something they were both looking for.
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. They were very content on the style in which it was made. They were very happy with the whole aesthetics of the place. And indeed the house was a dream come true for them. 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? If someone was buying property, would they not check what is there first and would they not be a little inquisitive of the history? It turns out, there was something that nobody had ever seen in over 50 years, a relic of sorts.
Exploring Beneath
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. If ever you found yourself in a new place that had something like this lying there, do you think you would ever have the courage to go inside and find out for yourself? This couple was too curious to find out, so they decided to check what was hiding underneath. 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.
Supplies
What the rooms contained is anther thing that was certainly remarkable. There were shelves that contained everything that a person would need during their stay in the room if a nuclear bombing took 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. It was clear that this room was a very nicely thought-out room.
Fallout Shelter
So why build a fallout shelter in the first place and what could you benefit from it? A fallout shelter was specially designed in the 60s so as to protect people from the harmful radioactive fallout that a nuclear bomb produces. The Cold War made so many families paranoid and hence these shelters were very popular. When a nuclear bomb is dropped, it then releases debris or fallout that is radioactive in nature and can cause severe harm to all living beings. Hence it was imperative to some families that they kept their safety a priority instead of just waiting for a nuclear fallout to take place.
