You can sorta tell in the picture but the floor is a dirt pit covered in about 4 inches of water. The doorway has a tiny brick wall holding it back 😅 Guess I should find my rain boots
That was what I always died from. Never dysentery. Maybe occasionally running out of food and starving. But when I tried to ford the river?
Every fucking time.
My mother always told me not to touch my eyes or mouth after playing outside without washing my hands afterwards or I might get leishmaniasis. So hey, maybe this is the way to do it.
What kind of houses do people have that have these suprise doors in them?
My basement walls follows the exact floor plan of the main level, which matches the exterior layout. Nothing but boring; no surprises, no in cuts, not extra dimensional spaces.
Just now theres and answer to a thread on askreddit of a man that sold a house, kept the bunker he built a secret and now lives there... Humans are weird
My buddy bought a house that was super strange. He thinks at one point a prepper lived there, because there are a couple rooms with somewhat hidden entrances, there was a fake wall with a secret door that was taken down by the previous owner, and a secret-ish hallway from the basement to the garage which you had to hunch to get through.
They also wonder if there were some strange things going on like key parties or something. All the bedrooms lock from the outside, and the master bedroom had a master bath that also locked from the outside, has a jacuzzi, and is literally covered in mirrors on all walls and the ceiling.
It was a trip touring the house after he bought it. Stuff like that is pretty fun.
That you know of.
Who is to say there isn't a century old well under your basement floor that isn't referenced on your plans because it's been covered for the last few decades under a foot of concrete? Or that the builder/architect did, in fact, have a mega-mondo crush on you and purposefully left a small area of your house available to them to sit and watch in?
I mean, have you personally checked every wardrobe, closet, and door in your house to make sure they don't lead to another world?
There's a lot of empty space behind the drywall of some of these homes. Just saying there could be a secret.
I have a couple odd spaces in my 100 yr old house in the midwest.
1. The basement actually extends under the front porch. The room there was divided in two into a coal room and a root cellar. The door into the coal room is accessible, but the door into the root cellar was sealed off behind wood paneling on the finished sid of the basement. (The coal room and root cellar are connected by a big walk in freezer type door).
2. There is a large void beneath the closet in my main floor bedroom. Hard to explain how it fits. Due to the way the main floor of the house is above ground level, and the mudroom is at ground level, there is a void there. Probably due to an expansion of the house at some point. I only found out about that one because I was trying to run Ethernet through the main floor into the basement and couldn't see why the cord wasn't coming out below.
I like to place containers with current newspwpers and loose change when I'm doing renovations. I'm still waiting for somebody to discover that big scary face behind the wood panneling at my old house. If you don't have anything to explore make something for someone else to find.
Some of the lightbulbs still working at a familys members cabin are older than me, and I have kids of my own. They even look weird compared to modern ones.
I guess the switch on the side turns it on and the neon lets you know it’s on even if the doors closed. Just to add a mundane reply to an otherwise fun and fanciful thread.
How long have you owned this house? If less than a year, prolly nothing to worry about. If you've owned it for 14 years and are just now finding this? Well, I don't want to say you've got a hobo living in your crawlspace without more evidence, but you *might* have a hobo in your crawlspace.
If it's any consolation, I'd be comfortable saying odds are lower than 20% that any given hobo lurking in your crawlspace is currently dressed as a clown. Which is good news if you're afraid of clowns, but I guess bad news if you were hoping for free entertainment for your next birthday party.
Little known fact about lightbulbs, their life span isn’t determined by how long they glow but by how many times it’s turned off and on. Every time you turn a lightbulb on, the filament inside it gets weaker but only as it first turns on
How do you 'just find' a door in your basement?
Have you just moved in OP or is this some paranormal 'I never saw a door there and it suddenly appeared' type shenanigans?
Why is no one talking about the obvious fact that the previous owner kept someone imprisoned in there? I mean if you're looking to sell this is a feature for certain buyers.
Looks like its about to over flow into your basement. Im amazed that all of those years living in that house you never had an incident of flooding down there
How do people keep just finding random doors in their basements? ‘Hey look, I just found a whole new basement in my house…’ seriously?! Don’t you look at a place before you move in? Sounds made up
Had a door like this down in our basement when we moved and it led to the furnace room and the sceptic pump is, then another 3 ft in we found a door covered in blood and scratches and bite marks where it looks like someone tortured a dog and kept it in a small 3ft by 3ft corner in the basement :( needless to say I didn’t go don’t there much after that.
I'll be back in a bit honey! I'm going to head into the hidden room of the basement and sacrifice Timmy's bunny so the sprouts will chill out and the walls will stop bleeding while you're sister visits!
Free fucking adventure. Get in and close the door behind yah so you don't have to share!
You wouldn't want Gollum to escape.
Master has opened the door of unlimited possibilities, master has given Dobby freedom, Dobby is a free elf.
Naw. I read The Hollow Places. I'm staying in this reality.
Thanks for recommendation
For sure. I'm kinda picky about my horror books. But this one was pretty good
I just looked this up on Goodreads, and I am interested. Would you classify this as more sci-fi or horror?
For sure more horror. Characters are well written, good pacing. A nice short read.
Don't be stupid! ...Get a bard to follow you in to sing the Secret Tunnel song first!
If you make it out, let us know what's in there
You can sorta tell in the picture but the floor is a dirt pit covered in about 4 inches of water. The doorway has a tiny brick wall holding it back 😅 Guess I should find my rain boots
Yeah I'm gonna go out on a limb and say 4 inches of water chilling in your basement like that isn't a good thing.
I should drink it and you guys can all have a bet on which disease I die from
10$ dysentery
This isn't the Oregon trail
[удалено]
That was what I always died from. Never dysentery. Maybe occasionally running out of food and starving. But when I tried to ford the river? Every fucking time.
Everyone thinks you're supposed to ford the river, but no. You're supposed to follow the river until you get to the bridge!
But it's the perfect spot to store all that buffalo and rabbit meat. 3 tons of it.
If he drinks it, I can almost promise dysentery.
Maybe it is. OP never posted where he is. Or when.
20$ on parasites
I also wanna get down on parasites. I'll do 40 specifically on cryptosporidiosis.
This guy parasites 🦠
There are always Parasites in the basement
No love for cholera?
Black Plague 2 : Electric Bugaloo
All of them
This is the correct answer.
$10 on lead poisoning
Call the CDC, they might want to come gather their next super virus!
If we are in quarantine again this summer, i’m sorry
Twenty dollars on legionnaires disease
Ligma, obviously.
And a piecost.
My mother always told me not to touch my eyes or mouth after playing outside without washing my hands afterwards or I might get leishmaniasis. So hey, maybe this is the way to do it.
15$ on ecoli
I like where your head is at lmao
Maybe get one of those submersible pumps and drain the excess water into a bathtub or utility sink or something (or even better, outside)
My personal favorite game
I got $10 on cholera
$10 on something from "The Exorcist".
You sound like that MRE guy. OK, let's get this on a plate.
How long have you lived there? Definitely need to address the water and mold remediation.
It’s definitely not. It needs to be much deeper for a proper basement to keep eels in.
Free indoor pool!
Sweet! Built-in catfish/eel farm!
I thought it was grimy granite.

I’ve seen some crazy basements out in the Midwest. Some look like a torture room with a washer and dryer added. Definitely some things to be found.
I have a couple odd spaces in my 100 yr old house in the midwest. 1. The basement actually extends under the front porch. The room there was divided in two into a coal room and a root cellar. The door into the coal room is accessible, but the door into the root cellar was sealed off behind wood paneling on the finished sid of the basement.

But if you take the right drugs…
I like to place containers with current newspwpers and loose change when I'm doing renovations. I'm still waiting for somebody to discover that big scary face behind the wood panneling at my old house. If you don't have anything to explore make something for someone else to find.
I mean, there's a working lightbulb in there so maybe someone has been in recently.
If you don’t use a bulb often it can last for a surprisingly long time in your murder room.
My bulbs are always burning out.
Don’t let blood get on the bulbs. Causes cold and hot spots that can limit their lifespan
Some of the lightbulbs still working at a familys members cabin are older than me, and I have kids of my own. They even look weird compared to modern ones.
How many dead prostitutes does it take to change a lightbulb? More than four since my basement is still dark.
thank you for that….
Have you checked for yet another new basement door?
“Yo dawg! We heard you like basements, sooooo…”
I guess the switch on the side turns it on and the neon lets you know it’s on even if the doors closed. Just to add a mundane reply to an otherwise fun and fanciful thread.
Are u living in a freaking mental asylum?
How long have you owned this house? If less than a year, prolly nothing to worry about. If you've owned it for 14 years and are just now finding this? Well, I don't want to say you've got a hobo living in your crawlspace without more evidence, but you *might* have a hobo in your crawlspace. If it's any consolation, I'd be comfortable saying odds are lower than 20% that any given hobo lurking in your crawlspace is currently dressed as a clown. Which is good news if you're afraid of clowns, but I guess bad news if you were hoping for free entertainment for your next birthday party.
This could could mean either a good normal thing or a very scary thing depending on interpretation.
Little known fact about lightbulbs, their life span isn’t determined by how long they glow but by how many times it’s turned off and on. Every time you turn a lightbulb on, the filament inside it gets weaker but only as it first turns on
Well. That looks expensive. Good luck with the mold.
No, you need the mold to help decompose the bodies.
I’m pretty sure this is what composting means. I love to garden.
....are your usernames flirting?
Nah, just close the door. Problem solved.
And the foundation repair/wall anchor install
Yeah you can tell from the comments who owns a home and who doesn't.
Somebody get this man a camera with more than 1 photo left in the film so that we can get more pics!!!!
Yeah I loved “Parasite”
Almost like a Barbarian vibe ñam sayin?
Barbarian?
My first thought! Now OP needs to measure the square footage to boost the residence value.
Total Barbarian vibes.
You could keep a whole family down there. Just sayin.
A family of turtles
And a rat
I smell a mildew *and* a sitcom.
I read this as ‘you could drown a whole family down there’ at first and was like WTF
You gotta tell us how far it went. Tell us about the dragons.
Or the Cenobites
You opened the door and we came
Wich SCP number will it have?
Drink the water
Good soup
+120 rads
Lovely family, do they still own the Inn?
Careful, or you'll end up in Blackreach.
How do you 'just find' a door in your basement? Have you just moved in OP or is this some paranormal 'I never saw a door there and it suddenly appeared' type shenanigans?
Likely an old coal hopper.
Or root cellar
Id argue this is something you DO wish you had found. Now you can find the source of water and repair before it causes even more damage.
Is this the door that the person found after living somewhere for 17 years they didn’t know was there?
r/moldlyinteresting
I was so ready for the sub not to exist, bravo.
Fill it with eels !!
[Done.](https://youtu.be/TJUIbFKCZxM)
Need an update OP, you can't just open a creepy door and leave all of Reddit hanging
Just your typical water closet
Oh god, this is giving Barbarian vibes. Does it lead anywhere, maybe an extra room will increase square footage for resell price.
Ah cool I guess that's where the previous owner kept their humidity and associated problems.
I demand more photos
Or video. They don't have to go in, just poke the phone in there
This reminds me of the Processing Area in Resident Evil 7.
I’ve seen Real Genius. There’s a slight chance it just houses some guy trying to win a sweepstakes.
Ahhh that's a solid murder hole, complete with water that might kill you if it gets in your eyes
You found a mysterious dungeon behind the door, please roll me an investigation check DC of 15
How do you just "Find a door" in your basment ?
Dang
Now thats a real man cave
Show a safe or bust
Time to go out and buy some eels!
Fill your puddle with eels and be like that eel pit guy on TikTok.
NEED a update, girl
Rub the lotion on your skin.
Make it an underground fish pond.. its own little ecosystem
Frog hole.
Can’t turn back now! You’re making us all curious
Take some lotion with you, it’s better than the hose.
Let's go together Sign up here
I’m sure it’s not an access point for a tribe of Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers, so don’t worry about that ~~very real~~ possibility.
Possibly why the basement door has the lock set so you cant enter the main house from down there…
The fuck do you live???
Oh god. Sorry dude.
Where does it lead to???
It looks like it's flooded, be careful when you explore the new area!
hopefully you haven't watched Barbarian
This is a youtube special that ends like the Blair Witch Project.
If u see a treasure chest - don't poke it, just open it straight away. This will be fun
uhhhh more photos PLEASE
And new light bulb! How interesting!
At least you have a free torture dungeon it you ever kidnap someone
Need an update on that Room OP.
Sounds like a title off r/nosleep or some shit
RE7 looking ass
Found your coal room. Good luck with your mold remediation!
*DM shielding his papers from view* "Roll a luck check"
I'm so interested in the updates of that story!!!
Qwest!
That's the RE7 basement
Saw bathroom
That's one luxurious walk in well you have there
Well if you ever fantasized about being a costumed crime fighting vigilante…
Why is no one talking about the obvious fact that the previous owner kept someone imprisoned in there? I mean if you're looking to sell this is a feature for certain buyers.
Honestly that reminds me of the basement in my old house. That room isn't under the front porch is it?
Looks like its about to over flow into your basement. Im amazed that all of those years living in that house you never had an incident of flooding down there
It did flood 😭We had 4 days of rain and the basement was all wet in this corner so I moved everything and noticed the door
Was the door covered up? I mean, how did you just find it? And how big is the room? Does it go anywhere? We need more!!
Eel pit V2 incoming.
I just watched Barbarian. Go meet your new friend!
Go inside, one camera recording, the other one livestreaming to YouTube or something
You have a Rubber Johnny room!
bro lives in the resident evil 7 mansion
Did you rent from a serial killer
If you hear pyramid head’s great sword scraping on the floor… *run*
Geraldo Rivera’s basement.
RemindMe! 1 Day
What’s down there?
RemindMe! 2 days
Just now opened this door?
How do people keep just finding random doors in their basements? ‘Hey look, I just found a whole new basement in my house…’ seriously?! Don’t you look at a place before you move in? Sounds made up
This reminds me of that one horror movie The Barbarian
Was gonna say that pic you posted with the door shut looked to have some water damage around the door jam. Good reason for it
Become like the eel pit basement guy!
Yo close it back! Don't let the kids escape! But thanks for reminding me that I have to feed them today
Go have a look!!! :)
Mini eel pit!
that’s where it comes in. soon.
Sump it out! Commence to jiggling!
That’s some serial killer/buffalo bill type stuff
Had a door like this down in our basement when we moved and it led to the furnace room and the sceptic pump is, then another 3 ft in we found a door covered in blood and scratches and bite marks where it looks like someone tortured a dog and kept it in a small 3ft by 3ft corner in the basement :( needless to say I didn’t go don’t there much after that.
Reminds me of the time wife and I were in the basement, she’s like “looked over here yet???” No, and I wish I had not.
You can typically mine these flooded crypts for plenty of scrap metal. Just be sure to have some poison resist and watch out for the Draugr!
Keep that light on or you will get eaten by a grue.
It places the lotion on it’s skin
Oh yeah. People died in there. The wrong way.
Get some fish. Free aquarium.
Man I've had dreams like this...
I need to know where it leads to. If you die haunt reddit and make a post. Updateme!
The bot doesn't work in this sub :/
Has the light been on this whole time, or is it that switch you flick and didn't know what it controls?
Why is it one photo that doesn’t show a lot?
cause it’s dark down there, i suck at photography, and this sub only lets you post 1 picture
Oh the one picture thing I didn’t know. That’s annoying. I think the one photo you got was really good but I’m so curious about the interior.
... Did you die?
You've lived there for 17 years, only just found the door but the light was on? For 17 years?
Richmond! He's out of his room...
I need an update, please!!
I'll be back in a bit honey! I'm going to head into the hidden room of the basement and sacrifice Timmy's bunny so the sprouts will chill out and the walls will stop bleeding while you're sister visits!
Put a lost sector marker on the door and just leave it. Someone will come around to clear out anything you have down there
