I just found a secret tunnel in my house?

Question

When I bought the house the previous owner didn't tell me that there were tunnels in it (I don't think he knew to be honest). I discovered it today when I was looking for my kitten, I was looking in the closet and the wall was hallow. I noticed that it gave a different sound in the corner and middle. I pushed on the wall and it came loose. It felt like it hasn't been opened in ages. It was a dirt path and the walls were just dirt. The path was skinny a really big person wouldn't be able to get threw. It leads to outside, the basement, and a room I never knew about! It had no windows or doors and it had a lot of spider webs. I never expected for that to happen. I am going to talk with the previous owner to find out what he knows about the previous owner before him.

Opinions?

And have you ever found something suspicions and weird in your house?

Answer 1

maybe you should see the history of the house too make sure nothing happned and no nothing like that has ever happned

Answer 2

Is your house located along the Underground Railroad? It sounds like your house may have been a stop on the Underground Railroad to me. That's really cool!! I wish I could find a tunnel in my house...but there isn't one. We just built my house and moved in a couple years ago, lol.

Answer 3

When are you going to invite me into your secret tunnel? I can hide from you and purrrrrrrrrr when you find me!!!

Answer 4

Yes definitely check the house history, i would be very careful bringing back the previous owner, he/she might start to claim the items as their own, this is actually quite exciting wish something like that would happen to me. Check the boxes yourself, I wouldn't actually be able to wait any longer if it was me.

Answer 5

I would not advise the previous owner until you know for sure what's in there - he may not have expected that to be found so easily.  

As for that supernatural stuff, ignore it - opening that passageway is NOT going to unleash something from the spirit world.   There is no such thing as a ghost.  

What is curious about your story is that you say the tunnel leads to the outside and the basement, yet you did not see these other ends of said tunnel?

Answer 6

check the houses history with the town office,  modifications and additions have to be registered.  you do not say how old the house is or where you are.  old, old house...rail-road stop???  coal bin?  root cellar??

Answer 7

blimey thats a bit scary, was there anything in the room?

Answer 8

It might be part of the Underground Railroad. A hiding place for slaves. Who knows?

edit: Could be a historical find. I'm sure there be neat old stuff in it once you dig around

Answer 9

omg, worst mistake of your life. Dont you ever watch "A Haunting"...opening those secret doors always unleashes ghosts.

Answer 10

Hi Sissy , remember Ur dream walking into the cemetery, and the cat tried to worn U to turn back ? but U kept in walking. May be Ur cat was right after all :)

Answer 11

if this is for real, these rooms were built centuries ago and they were called the panic room

its suppose to have supplies of food and water in it, so whenever there's a thief or a life threatning issue such as a storm or a killer around you or in the house these rooms should have locks (big ones)

i would advice you to call a contractor to fix it up and make it a real one ( the uk is one of the most safe countries in the world but you never know)

Regards

Answer 12

Sounds like the set up to a slasher flick!

Don't go into the boarded up room else bad things will happen.

Answer 13

cool,

the boring and more probable answer is: quite often in older houses they get remodelled and 'voids' are creating through the re-modelling - i have some in my house - the reason is in certain periods they wished for the rooms to be symetric hence they would create hollows to achieve this..... is wierd though....... great den!
