“Hidden Horrors and Unbelievable Treasures: What Lies Behind Your Walls?”
Layers Of Paint From Former Homeowners
One incredible thing about older homes is that they sometimes leave traces of the many people who lived there before. In this case, a piece of the wall broke off in the corner to reveal dozens of layers of paint!
It looks like rock strata and is so defined that you can see each color that the wall was once painted. The previous owners all seemed to love vibrant colors in the home, which makes the current owner’s pale walls seem bland compared to what they used to be.
Cell Doors
This aspect of the home wasn’t hidden from the homeowner, but it’s still unnerving nonetheless. The Reddit user who proudly posted this photo mentioned in the caption that their apartment features original cell doors from when the home was a police station.
We can’t imagine how anyone would feel comfortable sleeping in a space that once held criminals. You can even see the little compartment where officers could pass food and water to the captives without opening the door. We wouldn’t exactly call that welcoming.
A Paw Print
This find could be seen as adorable or frightening depending on the person who discovers it. On the one hand, the paw print engraved into the brick is a cute piece of memorabilia. There must have been a canine on the property when the bricks were being made and somehow they stuck a paw in the mold.
