Hidden door in house9/15/2023 ![]() ![]() The basement had the craziest sound system and disco balls and a motherfkn stage. ![]() But the developer opened the fridge door AND IT WAS A SECRET STAIRCASE GOING DOWN TO AN UNDERGROUND BASEMENT. Didn’t think anything of it, considering how weird the place was already. We walk around the kitchen, with a bar and pool table in the centre of it, and then see an old 1960’s looking fridge in the dining room. We walk in, first thing we see is shaggy yellow carpet not only in EVERY room of the house, but also on the walls and the ceiling. ![]() He then got super excited and took us up to visit it.

Pictures of the Hales Mansion.” - piusbovis 70s dream house Quickly went back the way I came since I’m sure the rich folks wouldn’t be pleased to find their random Mexican tenant exploring their home. Looked around and saw a bunch of christmas decorations and random junk and realized the tunnel led from the garage to the main house and I was now in their basement. I couldn’t explore it then because I didn’t have lights or anything, but I came back later with a flashlight and crawled my way down, eventually reaching a spot where it dropped down to a level where I had to army crawl to the end of the tunnel where I slipped out.

On the other side of the window was another bedroom, filled with fur coats, artwork, jewelry, and other misc possessions. They went back outside and threw a ladder up to the mystery window and opened it from the outside. So they went back into the house and walked down the hallway, and as expected, they saw their bedroom door, and down the hall was their daughter’s bedroom door, nothing in between. On the second floor they recognized their bedroom window, and their daughter’ bedroom window by the curtains they had hung, but there was a window in between. They’d been living in it for about a month when they were outside just staring and having that “I can’t believe what we got ourselves into” feeing when they noticed something weird. “My dad’s cousin and her husband bought an old Victorian house about 15 years ago with plans to renovate it, restore it, and sell it. ![]()
