This woman made headlines last week thanks to an incredible discovery she made in her garden. Unsuspectingly, she bought a house with a huge war bunker in the backyard. It was a huge metal and concrete structure that had been underground for years
Bunker in the garden
And that wasn’t even the strangest thing they discovered, because what they found in the bunker was truly incredible!
Big cleanup
She couldn’t even find the secret door to this bunker in her garden. The entrance to this huge metal bunker consisted of a tunnel almost 100 meters long. And she and her husband found this entrance when they were busy doing major cleaning work in their own house. They had just bought the house and were still busy exploring everything.
Metal hatch
But this discovery really made the hairs on the back of their necks stand on end. The floor in the scullery had sounded hollow for a while, but when they saw this metal hatch under one of the cupboards, they were quite shocked! They decided to investigate. The cupboard had obviously been put there by the previous occupants to hide this hole
Secrets
Because when they bought the house, the whole place was empty. They had taken all the furniture. Everything except this cupboard. It was above the hatch and even the carpet was laid in a perfect circle over the metal flap. It was time to find out why the previous occupants had gone to so much trouble to keep this secret
Moving the cupboard
The cupboard was pushed aside and the manhole cover was uncovered. And what they found inside was incredible! Once the cabinet was gone and the hole was revealed, homeowner Lindsey could hardly believe what she saw. She thought it might be a small basement underneath. But what she found was something completely different. It shocked her.
A wine stash?
She thought it might be a place where the former family had perhaps set up a secret wine store. But the hole went down about 30 meters into the ground. An old rusty ladder hung from the edge of the hole and it was time to find out what was in the depths of this tunnel. Her husband climbed down first
Curious
Simply installed
And then they didn’t even know that this tunnel would lead to the huge bunker in the backyard. It was a narrow opening, but her husband Flint could barely fit through it. Lindsey was claustrophobic and decided to keep his eyes and ears above ground so she could help him a little without putting herself in danger. It was too much for her.
A torch
She shone a flashlight after him as her husband disappeared into the dark hole. “Do you see anything yet, baby? Is it a wine cellar or is it something else?” she called after him as he tried to find his way in the darkness. Since it was almost completely dark down there, Flint was happy about the light his wife shone after him. But she soon had to throw the torch away again
Long tunnel
For as he stood at the bottom of the shaft, he saw a long tunnel, perhaps 100 meters long … Flint ran through the tunnel and Lindsey followed him on a walkie-talkie above the ground. She felt safe there, even though there was about a meter of sand between them. She could still hear her husband clearly. “What do you see, darling?” Soon the tunnel left the house and they emerged in the backyard. A long, straight corridor lay before Flint’s feet, but a light could be seen in the distance. An opening that would lead outside? Or was there a lamp hanging here that had been burning for years? That could well be the case, as this tunnel had obviously been dug by humans
Yellow cable
Sure enough, the clues followed him to the source of the light, as a long yellow power cable ran along the bottom of the tunnel. Flint kept his wife informed of everything he found via the walkie-talkie, but that wasn’t really necessary, because she would soon join him and take part in the action.
Concrete
In fact, she could hear him through the soil of her backyard. “I think I’m standing right above you!” she shouted loudly into the grass beneath her feet. And then she saw it. A small piece of concrete was sticking out of the lawn right in front of her feet. She had never noticed it before, but now she couldn’t miss it
She started digging
It was between some rocks so she had never noticed it, but this small gray piece of stone was clearly man-made. She caught up with her brother and while her husband continued his way underground through the tunnel to see what lay ahead, the two began to dig. In no time at all they had reached the top of the tunnel
Into the hole
They looked down and saw her husband Flint standing in the semi-darkness. And that wasn’t the only thing they had just dug up. Flint told them that there was a large iron door down here, but that he couldn’t open it on his own. Lindsey and her brother jumped into the hole with him. Her brother did so without hesitation
