“Hidden Horrors and Unbelievable Treasures: What Lies Behind Your Walls?”

A Love Letter From 1944
In 2017, a Massachusetts resident had to call the Greenfield Police Department after finding something in his wall. No, it wasn’t anything bad–it was a love letter from 1944. The letter was addressed to a “Miss Betty Miller” from “Walter.”
This story sounds like a romance movie, and it has a happy ending. The police were able to track the letter’s owner and return it. Irene Fournier, Betty Miller’s sister, said that Betty eventually married Walter. Although the couple is no longer around, their families get to see the old, lost letter.
Shoes To Protect Against Evil
In 2014, a woman in the British Isles was renovating her home. Inside the walls, she found shoes. And these weren’t new shoes; they were from the 1840s. The strangest part is that many people in the British Isles likely have shoes inside of their walls.
According to the University of East Anglia, people used to place shoes inside their walls to ward off evil. “A man in the village did tell me not to take it out of the house as it will bring back luck,” she told BBC. “But I have, and nothing’s happened.”
