If that happened to us I seriously doubt I would tell the WWW and let everyone know that our house had a secret "panic room"

 

Find out who is going end and end it.

 

Kind of neat.

I think a more fundamental question would be, "Why weren't the locks changed?"  That would solve the problem!

Not too keen on the idea that someone would be living in my house without me knowing about it, but that can be quickly rectified. On the upside,  I would love to have a hidden room like that.  Could come in handy when the zombies attack.

I wonder was there another Entry to that room or just the hidden book case.

Quoting from the Imagur poster's 2nd posting:

 

 

There were no other entrances to the secret passage, therefore the person would have been using my parents' bedroom to access it. The walls are incredibly soundproof, which is probably how we didn't even notice.

They need to man up. Change the locks and trap the room . If nothing happens then move on. Is it creepy yes

When my folks first purchased the house over 20 years ago they didn't know the basement had a hidden room. it was covered up by shelves and junk. Years later my father decided to clean out the basement. The room is still there. Whats inside? Nothing. the floor is smooth dirt, the walls are brick with a single hanging light in the center. apperenty its something called a cold room. the floor is always really cold as is the room itself. 

I call BS.  Cool story, though.

Is this fake?

Probably

This would make a great movie.

 

Oh wait...

 

I would have waited down in their little hidden room till whoever it was came back, just to fill my curiosity of who was living in my house. 

Should have just set a big mouse trap !!

Is this fake?

 

I believe it is.

Bear trap

Person who found it was a 15 yr old kid.

Good story, but kind of hard to believe it's not fiction. Now if there had been a hot, love-starved lady living there, that would have really been a great teenage fantasy!

When i sold my house in lake hopatcong I had a hidden closet for my collection, Fire rated door with cement block and wonder board walls.  I won't say how many but I find it funny that there home inspector didn't find it . And I would have liked to have seen their face when they found it, when they moved in. I left it open, and with the gun racks in place. 

First day we moved in we changed the locks. SOmething's fishy. 

My first house had a hidden "vault" in the bedroom. Hidden in plain site too. About 2x2x4.

 

Multiple trips through the house pre purchase and never saw it. Got the keys for the day we closed.

 

When we sold the house the buyer turned out to be a dill-weed. left the keys in the vault and never told him.

15 yo  teenage boy huh......I'm thinking very good panic room for when mom and dad aren't home and you're in there with you girlfriend!

Yep. Changed them the minute the closing was done.

 

 

Smells like a hoax to me.

Except for having to exit through the parents room afterward. "Oh hi mom, I didn't hear you get home. I was just, err showing her the, uhh, hidden room"

Is this fake?

Has to be.......a year of someone walking through someone else's house without anyone noticing? And, as others have said, they didn't change the locks? or didn't ever lock the doors? I'm not buying it, just another internet schlub trying to get a good story over on everyone.

Sounds like BS, but I still think it's cool nonetheless. Plus, you can see how it's studs and sheet rock on the one side. Not very soundproof.

 

I'm also curious how it got built. No way were they granted a building permit for that, and it definitely wasn't in the original plans. That isn't some homeowner installed crap.

 

More that I think of it, spiral staircases aren't easy to install. I doubt it was original only because it's a deathtrap in a fire, but no way could that have been welded in..

There are two hidden areas behind shelves in a house in Keyport. I built them for guns when I renovated.

Did you tell the new owners?

Round these parts, folks are usually trying to escape the secret room in the basement, not break in.

 

Should have turned the tables on these weirdos something fierce.
