This couple from Ohio had been working on the renovation of their ‘40s home when they stumbled upon the unthinkable. They were done with the first and second stories of the house, but it was time for them to work on the basement now. They had no clue what was waiting for them down there.
Demolition In Progress
They felt intrigued by the thing that they found after hacking at the plywood. However, it did not even occur to them that their discovery would mean launching a federal investigation. What did they find?
Demolition In Progress
Chipping Away
They began to hack away at the walls of the room. This was when the husband found graffiti all over the room. Even from the very beginning, this part of the house offered them a lot of surprises.
Chipping Away
A House Full Of Secrets
The homeowner could not believe what he was looking at when he pulled at the wallpaper. He was shocked by the drawings and writings all over the surface. This was only the beginning for them.
A House Full Of Secrets
Stuck In The Ceiling
They found something lodged between the ceiling and subfloor. He looked at it closely, but it was hard since the object was stuck between the rafters. He had to use his courage and strength to retrieve it.
Stuck In The Ceiling
Found Something Strange
The homeowner had not been paying all that much attention to the surroundings. He just kept working hard, cleaning the area, and hammering through it all. He made sure to use his camera to document it.
Found Something Strange
Mysterious Suitcase
Parts of the walls had been demolished when he began to take down the ceiling as well. As he kept going, he found an incredible secret. He would later notice a huge thing up there. It was a suitcase!
Mysterious Suitcase
Waiting For The Reveal
It was green and grey. Someone must have stored it there so that no one else would find it. He took it down but felt astonished by how heavy it was. What could be inside a suitcase like this one?
Waiting For The Reveal
One Heavy Suitcase
His gut told him that he must proceed with caution. He started to get feverish just because he felt excited by what hidden treasures were hiding there. He took a deep breath and decided to keep going.
One Heavy Suitcase
The Big Reveal
He called his wife about this discovery and waited for her to come home. He did not want his significant other to miss out on something like this. Aside from that, it was good to have a companion just in case.
The Big Reveal
What Could Be Inside?
Someone went through great pains to keep this suitcase hidden. But why? As he waited for his wife to return home, he started to survey the suitcase. He had no idea why it was this heavy.
What Could Be Inside?
Big Dreams In A Little Suitcase
It was rather small, but the mysteries hidden inside it must have been huge. He started to dwell on what was hiding inside the luggage. Without a doubt, it must be something super important or valuable.

Maybe It was Nothing
It was mind-boggling for him to find something like this. Of course, he was excited to see what was hiding inside the suitcase. As soon as his wife got home, he told her everything that he knew.
Maybe It Was Nothing
Christmas
We bet it felt just like Christmas for this guy. He was finally going to unwrap something as special as this discovery. Together, they talked about what possibilities there were. What was inside this box?
Christmas
What’s Inside?
Would they find cash? Jewelry? Cards? This renovator tried to lower expectations. Maybe it was full of old sports cards. It turns out that this was nowhere near the mark. What he found there will shock you.
What’s Inside?
Unwrapping The Mystery
The couple opened it together, but it was not like anything seemed off. They only saw wads of rectangular objects wrapped in wax paper. By then, it was still one big mystery to the husband and wife.
Unwrapping The Mystery
Full of Money
It was when they took out the bundles that it all clicked for them. They began to unwrap the wax papers they saw inside the suitcase. They were holding these things in their hands, but what were they?
Full of Money
Speechless Over The Money
He began to peel away the waxy material. That was when he realized it was something quite valuable. The bundle was actually a big stuck of $20 bills. Little did they know that there was so much more to come.
Speechless Over The Money
So Much Cash
They looked at the bills even more and realized that they were old. They could not believe just how much cash there was inside. They began to wonder what the motive was for storing so much money in their home and who was responsible.
So Much Cash
And More Money
“These are all twenties! There may be a couple thousand here! We are freaking out at this point,” the later told journalists. “This doesn’t happen to us! What do we do? Where are the cameras?”
And More Money
Endless Cash
They were both eager to start unwrapping the rest of the wads. Were they going to find the same thing all over again? Did they see anything even more valuable? The woman and man looked on in awe.
Endless Cash
At First, It Was Funny
They hoped to at least find the same thing with the other bundles. Excitedly, they started to peel away the layers of wax paper. Turns out they did not have the same result that found before. This time was a bit different.
At First, It Was Funny
Old Money
The second package actually had something different and there were about to find out what. It started to get out of control, with each package the amount was increasing, first twenties, then fifties, and finally the third with 100s!
Old Money
Dating The Cash
They thought this must be a joke and couldn’t believe what they found. Once the realized it was not a joke at all, they began to think about what they were gonna do with a sum of money like this. They had never seen so much money in their whole lives!
Dating The Cash
From the 1950s
But where did all the cash even come from? The state of the bills meant that they had been hidden there for a long time, maybe ever since the ‘20s and ‘30s. But just how much money was even there?
From the 1950s
A Pleasant Surprise
They looked into the matter more until something soon became clear to the two of them. Everything they found was clearly old which motivated them to look into it more to understand what it was doing in their home. What they found out will blow you away.
A Pleasant Surprise
They Had A Normal Life
They took out the bundles from this suitcase but got another surprise. It did, however, answer some of the questions they had. They found a newspaper at the bottom of the suitcase. What date was on it?
They Had A Normal Life
1951
The date on the paper showed them that it came from the 25 of March 1951. It was from an old publication known as the Cleveland Plain Dealer. They could not believe just how old it was.
1951
Had To Contact The Authorities
Apart from this, it was an issue from a local Cleveland newspaper. They were excited and surprised to find out more about this discovery. However, exactly how much would all that money be worth now?

And Here We Go Again
Heavier Than The First
This renovator had also been alone when he found this second suitcase. There was no way he would not get excited! How could he have missed this one after finding the first one? Again, he waited for his wife.
Heavier Than The First
The New Suitcase
“This was a wild ride for us, and I hope you all enjoyed it, too,” he said on Reddit. “We are boring people and have been dumping our extra money to pay off our mortgage, and that is where this money will go too.”
The New Suitcase
Same But Different
He documented it all with the use of his camera. However, he did not know that there were more surprises in store for them. It was just natural for them to feel even more curious than they were.
Same But Different
The Search Continues
Was it possible that there were even more mysteries hiding in this house of theirs? Of course, they could not just leave the basement in its half-finished state. They had to keep on searching some more.

The Wait Is Over
What Else Was Hiding Here?
They had no idea that these wads of bills had not been the only thing hidden in their home. After getting back to work, this man saw one more case hidden between their rafters. What was it now?
What Else Was Hiding Here?
What They Found There
There was no way for them to forget the treasure they found, so they remained optimistic about this finding. The suitcase did not have the same thing inside of it. They did not find money in wax paper.
What They Found There
The Final Count
Would they just keep finding more of these things as they keep going with the renovation? He knew that it was likely going to be some other valuable items. He could not wait for his wife to get home again.
A Secret Door
Big Secrets
This suitcase looked exactly like the last one that they found. Could it be that it was hiding the same thing too? They did not want to waste a single moment as soon as she arrived home.

What Else Would They Uncover?
They were surprised and amazed at the same time. However, it only made them feel more determined to work on the home. They wanted to keep working at it. Who knows what else they would find?

Another Big Mystery
Full Of Secrets
They now knew that this was a house full of secrets. The couple had a lot of motivation to continue exploring the house. Their motivation only got bigger when they figured out the next place to look.
Full Of Secrets
Tearing Down The Door
They found a secret door that housed the water heater. At least this was what the realtor told them. They had a gut feeling that it was the perfect place to hide something small but valuable.
Tearing Down The Door
He Found More Mysteries
They looked behind the door. Their gut had been right all along. This was actually where they saw the biggest secret yet! They opened the small white door and saw that the realtor had lied to them.
He Found More Mysteries
They Were Fooled
This was not a room with the “water heater.” That was a lie the realtor said to make buyers believe that it was only a normal house. When they cracked open the door, they were shocked by what they saw.
They Were Fooled
Hidden Room
This hidden room was even bigger than they had in mind. It had been decorated with the use of carpet pieces. There was another surprise there. He told her to stay back. They had no idea what was in there.
Hidden Room
Door Number Two
He started to wonder, and his thoughts were all over the place. What was behind the door? We cannot imagine what it must be like to live in your house only to find out it had a part you did not know about.
Door Number Two
Something Sinister
Sadly, the door had been shut by a master lock and a bolt. The man was not planning to give up just yet. He was eager to figure out what was there. He rushed downstairs, took a hammer, and pounded it!
Something Sinister
They Couldn’t Handle This Alone
Apart from this, they could see that the room was in use for a fair amount of time. Someone clearly worked hard to hide this place. It was in pretty bad shape. Not only was it dark but it was also moldy.
They Couldn’t Handle This Alone
Uh Oh
While the homeowners had been staying there for several years already, it was the first time they ever ventured there. But the real question is why would anyone need to soundproof a room like this one?
Uh Oh
More Mysteries Down There
They jumped to the worst conclusion possible right away, of course. All the floors, walls, and ceiling had been covered with white soundproofing tarp. But what kind of noise had they been making down here?
More Mysteries Down There
What They Found
What was this place anyway? We know now that the husband tends to do things DIY. His curiosity makes perfect sense to us. He did not know what this part of his house was. Any ideas, folks?
What They Found
Full Of Jewels
This secret room was not empty. There was even a briefcase lying on the floor! He felt hesitant and stopped for a quick moment to simply collect his thoughts. This did not last all that long, however.
Full Of Jewels
The Strange Safe
Now, we all know that places with similar hiding places usually mean that something is off. It began as a fun home renovation project, but things quickly went down a sinister path after they opened the lock.
The Strange Safe
Hidden Inside
What things were in the briefcase? They found an old wooden box, watches, rings, 4 1 oz silver ingots, a jewelry box, and envelopes full of money from all over the world. Who owned these things anyway?
Hidden Inside
What Was Going On Here?
The door led to one more door. This was the room that came with the heavy soundproofing and white plastic tarp. Something about it did not sit right with him. Could it possibly be a torture chamber?
What Was Going On Here?
A Terrifying Note
As they kept looking around the room, they found something that cleared up several things about the room. As they explored its relics, they did find out that it was time for them to contact the authorities.
A Terrifying Note
He Was Terrified
They started to find more odd stuff inside this room. First, they found an old brown briefcase. They had been so lucky with the first two suitcases that they thought their luck would just keep going.
He Was Terrified
One More Warning
However, the couple would soon figure out that they were off the mark. They did not find anything good inside the bag. Like in the basement, they simply took a couple of photos and documented it all.
One More Warning
An Unsettling Detail
This was an experience that they would not like to forget. They felt curious about everything hiding in there, which was why they opened the case and took a peek inside. Inside was an assortment of valuables owned by some individuals. They saw expensive antique jewelry: watches, a ring, and 4 silver ingots.
An Unsettling Detail
They Needed The Police
There was something else there too. They found envelopes filled with money from different countries. They kept investigating and found a black Sentry safe in the corner of the room. What could this mean?
They Needed The Police
Some Disturbing Footage
What was hiding in this secret safe in an already secret room? The room was full of mystery and secrecy. He began to get intimidated as he knew that there was zero chance it contained common items.
Some Disturbing Footage
An Investigation Of Epic Proportions
No doubt, it would contain something he would not like to see. Everything inside looked valuable, but there must be a reason that it came with so many security measures. What secrets did this room hold?
An Investigation Of Epic Proportions
The FBI Is Here To Help
They were not wrong about this. He then put the thoughts in the back of his head and looked inside the safe. Upon opening it, he saw a note that verified his suspicions. It said, “Save yourself.” How ominous.
The FBI Is Here To Help
How Can You Be Sure?
The wording was already bad enough, but it felt even more sinister thanks to the rough penmanship and the black ink used to write it down. Who could have written this? What did these words mean?
How Can You Be Sure?
They Got Lucky
He was aware that the only way to find the truth would be to keep going with the investigation. After this, they saw more mystery items that made them feel very uncomfortable. It was time to call the cops.
They Got Lucky
Do Not
This man was very intrigued and kept digging deeper into the safe. However, he felt unsafe after seeing the next item in there. He found several tapes with a handwritten note. It said, “Do not.” Uh-oh.
How Can You Be Sure?
VHS Tapes
The records were in videotape format. If he wanted to get to the bottom of this, he needed to watch them. What was he going to see? This man took out the tapes inside the safe and inspected them.
VHS Tapes
Newer
He was taken aback after noticing that they looked a lot newer than the other things there. He was scared after noticing this, but it did not tell him anything else. On the tapes, there were a series of numbers that seemed like labels.
Newer
Police
There was one tape that did not have such a label, however. Five out of six came with tags. Did someone make them for a game of sorts? It was getting out of control. At last, they wanted to call the authorities.
Police
The Curiosity
The homeowner could no longer contain his curiosity. It was how he found out what was inside the tapes. After taking a look at them, he called the authorities. He wanted them to come over right away.
The Curiosity
Confiscated
The FBI confiscated the tapes. What they contained remains a secret between the agents, homeowners, and the makers. In the end, the curiosity of the husband led to a discovery that he would rather unsee.
Confiscated
A Mystery
It is likely that we will not ever find out what the hidden tapes contained. The press has theorized that it was likely footage of some kind of crime that took place in the soundproofed room. What do you think?
A Mystery
Questions
This investigation then led to a lot of questions about the place. Everything from the hidden bundles of money to the mysterious tapes was very suspect. Just who were the people who lived in this house?!
Questions
Other Secrets
Could there be more secrets waiting to be uncovered? How would feel if you found the same items in your house? Perhaps the most pressing question is… can you say there is nothing like this in your home?

Discovery
It must have been fascinating to discover these things in the basement. Some people have found different items. Pat and Diane Farla lived in a Victorian house in England.

$500,000
Here is another interesting find. Contractors working on an Arizona home renovation found $500,000 in cash inside military ammunition containers. They then claimed it as theirs. However, the homeowners contested this. The court ultimately disagreed with them both and ruled that it should go to the heirs of the original owner, Robert Spann. He died 11 years before that, so his money went to his daughters.
$500,000
Neon Light
Clifton’s Cafeteria is an old Los Angeles establishment located in a historic building. After deciding to renovate the bathroom, he saw a neon light that was still on! Experts believe that it had been on for 77 straight years, which is a world record. The owner thinks that it was first turned on in 1935 when the building got converted into a diner. However, the owner soon realized that he paid about $17,000 in electricity thanks to this. Neon lights are known to work for 40 years at most, so this baffled experts!

The grenade still had the pin with it, which is why they closed off the area and evacuated residents.

He could tell that this was a creepy room. The door was around four feet high and came with a metal grate. He opened it and found a small bed, foam padding on the wall, and a single light. There was no doorknob from the inside, so it meant that anyone staying there was locked in. The house was in a sparsely populated area, which made it creepier.

Wall Of Snakes
Ben and Amber Sessions discovered a house in the American countryside for $180,000. They thought it was a dream but realized that this 5-bedroom house had a garter snake infestation.
