We have all been home alone, and heard a noise that made us feel just a little too uncomfortable.
Now, it’s probably nothing, just the settling of the house -- or wind blowing through branches
-- but sometimes, sometimes it’s more than that.
So, today on Top 5 Scary Videos, we’re going to be counting down the Top 5 Scary Rooms
Hidden In Houses.
Lets jump in.
5 WW2 Room Uploaded to Reddit by Norwegian user mYNDIG,
they posted some incredibly disturbing pictures of a hidden room they found in the attic of
their shared accomodations.
And it is believed to be room that has been undisturbed since World War II.
The user said, that their house lord told them their home had a hidden room, but was
very vague about where it was.
So, instead of studying for exams, the user decided to embark on an epic scavenger hunt
to find the hidden room -- because, of course, wouldn’t you?
He ended up finding it by accidentant, by kicking in the attic wall.
Inside was a dark secret room, with a sign that translated to, “If you have a bad stomach,
then you don’t have access.”
Not only that, but there was also a lamp alarm, which was typically used to warn anyone nearby
when someone enters.
There was also a map of West Europe, and the piece de resistance.
Creepy.
Who do you think was hiding out in this secret room?
4 Dunnerden Dunnerden is the Aspen home of Broderbund
Software co-founder Doug Carlston.
Outside, it looks like an ordinary log cabin, however, inside it has 1,700ft of secret passageways
-- nearly six football fields worth.
Carlston is responsible for the puzzle adventure game Myst -- and his house reflects his personality,
with it innocuous filing cabinets that conceal doors and dresser drawers that reveal passageways
to other rooms.
At the bottom of his house is a labyrinth of creepy catacombs full of treasure.
Now, what makes this secret fortress scary is that Dunnerden has something called the
Room of Doom, where guests are urged to stand on a rocky ledge behind a waterfall.
There are only two ways out of the Room of Doom -- swim through a chute of jump through
the waterfall and hope you land in the pool.
3 Crawlspace Uploaded by TwoBiteBrownie, a series of photos
shows the time he was screwing around with his brother in their parents’ bedroom and
fell hard into a built-in bookshelf.
It opened, revealing a hidden room with a spiral staircase.
Which can only mean one thing.
Torture chamber.
The brothers descended the steps, which led down to a strange crawl space full of halloween
candy and even a fresh-looking banana peel.
The user stated, I quote, “Someone was living in our walls.
That is my halloween candy.
Someone came into my room, took from my bad, and brought it back in here.
Thirty seconds after taking a picture, we realised what it meant and got the fuck out
of there.”
Those weren’t the only thing the boys found down there either, other items included, and
elephant carving, a skeleton key, and some creepy dolls.
Police determined -- following forensic science and observing the lack of supplies, that was
the squatter was living there temporarily.
There were no other entrances to the secret passage, meaning the person could have only
gained access through the parents’ bedroom.
Police never found the person, resulting in the parents boarding up the room as precaution.
2 Squatter This story has become quite infamous over
the years, and is probably the most popular case of folks discovering a hidden room in
their house.
This incident happened to a group of Ohio State University students who became spooked
by strange noises at night -- as well as cupboard doors that seemingly opened on their own.
Of course, they believed their home was haunted, however, they were very wrong.
Their ghost was actually a man living in a secret room in their basement.
They had originally assumed the secret room was the maintenance cupboard, but after forcing
the door open, they discovered a small room with a double bed, framed photographs, and
textbooks.
Creepy.
The group quickly changed the locks and left a note on the door informing the stranger
that they had to leave the house.
It turns out the squatter was named Jeremy -- and he used the basement sink to wash his
clothes, but honours the hermit code by not stealing from the group.
According to him, he gained access to the house via his cousin who was the previous
tenant.
1 The Murder Castle In Chicago 1889, Herman W Mudgett build a
hotel in anticipation for the tourist boom that would be brought on by the upcoming 1893
World’s Fair.
However, Herman didn’t build a conventional hotel, oh no, he instead built a mystery fun
house, with trapdoors, hidden stairways, and surprise chutes that led down to the basement.
It turned out that Herman W. Mudgett was the real name of HH Holmes, America’s first
famous serial killer, who used the upper floors of the hotel to torture and kill hundreds
of people.
Eventually he was found out, and was forced to confess to his gruesome crimes, following
which he was executed.
Police raided the hotel, which became known as the Murder Castle, and they discovered
secret windowless rooms, false floors with no escape, soundproof bedrooms and even a
gas chamber.
Shortly after the capture of Holmes, the Murder Castle burned down and a post office was built
on the site in 1938.
It still stands today with most people believing it to be certainly haunted.
Well, there we have it!
