I found a secret room hidden in my basement — I was shocked by its mysterious origins
NY Post
Now this is a chamber of secrets.
Mystee Ipong recently stumbled upon a secret, walled-off room in the “creepy basement” of her 200-year-old home, and took to TikTok to crack the mysterious case.
It all started when the couple, who had just recently moved into the upstate New York house in June, discovered some sort of leak in the bowels of the building, but the source was unidentifiable, and water appeared to be flowing out from underneath a wall.
“Then we noticed,” Ipong explained in a viral TikTok video with 2.8 million views, panning to the seemingly unassuming wall. “That’s definitely a bricked-in wall.”
New stone — at least, when compared to the surrounding walls — was placed in the shape of what would have been the doorway to the mysterious room, which was shockingly missed despite “multiple” inspections.
“If I had a choice, no I wouldn’t open it up,” Ipong said in a voiceover while her husband chipped away at the cinder block barricade.
