Man Finds Gold Mine On Property, Goes In And Realizes He’s Made A Huge Mistake

Everyone dreams of someday buying and owning their dream house. The man in this story got a lot more than he imagined when he bought what the thought was his dream home. Christopher found something so bizarre when he walked around his property that his life would never be the same again.

Curious and amazed, he entered the tunnel, exploring this mystery further. He had no idea that this decision would not only be life-changing but also one he would come to regret deeply.

Even though both a realtor and a police officer told him not to, Christopher continued to investigate his discovery. What he found, in the end, convinced him to leave and never return again. What could have been so terrifying that he would abandon his dream home?

Woodland Fields

Christopher Wanliss was overjoyed with the property he had bought — 16.5 hectares of woodland fields which he had all to himself. He could never have expected to find what he did, however.

On one fateful day, Christopher explored his property on foot. The bark on the trees had been stripped away by the seasons, the birds were singing in sporadic bursts, everything seemed perfect. As he walked aimlessly through the trees and birdsong, something peculiar caught his eye.

Enigmatic Discovery

Almost without realizing, Christopher walked toward the strange thing he had seen. Small, dark, and mostly obscured, by the other trees it seemed to be hiding. He wondered if it could just have been an old, dark tree as he got closer to it.

Then he realized what it was and in his excitement, he made a misstep which caused him to fall 3-feet down.

Dazed, stunned, covered with leaves and mud after his fall, Christopher stood up and brushed himself off as best he could while staring ahead of him. The strange thing he had seen was not a tree, but an entrance into the earth. Even stranger is that it wasn’t a natural cave, it was man-made.

Could it be that he had discovered a mine on his own property? He knew he had to explore it.

‘Sparkly’ Walls

It was too dark to see into the moss-covered mine from the outside. Trembling with excitement he rushed home to grab a flashlight. “When we bought the house, nobody ever told us about the fact that the estate had a lot of mines on it.

We just sort of stumbled upon the gold mine one day and that was it. When I first saw it, I was so excited that I almost fell over myself. The only thing that I could think about was Indiana Jones and underground railroads,” Christopher recalls.

Flashlight in hand, he rushed back to explore his exciting mystery. He had no way of knowing that he would come to regret that choice. As he reached the mine entrance, Christopher found himself holding his breath as he stepped inside.

Once inside the mine, his flashlight illuminated ‘sparkly’ areas on the wall, but he had no idea what they were.

Echo

The walls appeared to be damp, many of them looked like they were about to collapse. With each echoing step taking him deeper into the mine, Christopher became more and more aware of the tons of soil just above his head.

He carried on deeper, not worried about how long it would take as he had brought several spare batteries with him.

When he got closer to the walls, he saw more and more of the unidentified sparkling substance. For a brief moment, he thought, “What if this was gold?” That was when he saw something that not only put the thought of gold out of his mind but could also change everything forever.
