A man has taken to Reddit to share how he discovered a secret panic room in his new house – it wasn’t included on the property’s floor plan and is only accessible through a sliding bookcase
A man has been left gobsmacked after discovering a secret room hidden behind a bookcase in his new house. While he had viewed the house before buying it, he didn’t notice the secret room and there was no mention of it on the listing.
It wasn’t until he unpacked all of his belongings into his new home that he finally got a real look at the property. Sharing his surprise on Reddit, he wrote: “Our new house has a secret panic room that wasn’t included in the listing. Built in 1978 and I love this place.” The secret room is only accessible through a sliding bookcase in the renovated basement – but it didn’t have anything “too exciting” inside it.
He added: “There were lots of expired canned food, some logs, and a bunch of rubbish that I’ve been tossing.
“We’ve been using it as storage for six months. We are going to sell, donate and trash stuff to start framing it.”
