“Hidden Horrors and Unbelievable Treasures: What Lies Behind Your Walls?”
Witch’s Bottles
Back when more people believed in and feared witches, it was commonplace to store witch bottles in the walls. The practice was believed to act as a protective field against curses. One would place personal items like fingernail clippings or hair into the bottle along with a piece of cloth in the shape of a heart.
The idea was that the contents would absorb the negative energy so that the person wouldn’t be impacted. That’s what someone must have been up to when they placed a 17th-century bottle with such contents into the wall. It was discovered in London in 2004!
An Arsenal And Copper Pennies
A homeowner was just trying to renovate his home when he stumbled upon something that said a lot about the previous owner. Hidden beneath the basement staircase was an arsenal, which included a dummy grenade!
There were also pennies that date back to before the 1980s, which was when the coins were still made from actual copper. The craziest part is that there was also a safe that couldn’t be opened. We don’t even want to know what could have been inside.
A Secret Corridor
In 2011, a family from Greenville, South Carolina, uncovered what many of us dreamed about as kids. They were moving a bookshelf and stumbled upon a secret corridor! Though the intriguing found seemed glamorous at first, it was anything but.
