This Secret Room Discovered by Homeowners Held a Historical Secret

Think you know what’s buried underneath your house? Well, Alexandra Poulos didn’t. She lived in her home in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, most of her life, but she never had a clue that there was a huge secret right under her feet.

But when some contractors she hired started digging beneath her property, they made a historical discovery. And they weren’t the only ones who did.

Homes with secrets like this one’s have been found all over the country…

She Always Knew Her Home Had Hidden Rooms

Alexandra Poulos was tethered to her family home ever since she moved in with her parents back in 1974. And she suspected there was a lot of history here because it was so close to Philadelphia.

In fact, she told reporters in June 2018: “When I was a child, I would have random dreams about there being other rooms in the house.

I’d look it up on dream meanings sites and people always thought I just had a crazy imagination.” It turns out, she wasn’t imagining things.

A Neighbor Knew the Truth About the House

At the time of her interview, she was 43 years old and the owner of the property. She told reporters how her aging father signed the house over to her so she could rent it out to a tenant and manage the property.

It was during that time that she recalled a neighbor telling her dad that there was another room underneath the basement, but she had bigger problems to worry about.

The House Had a Serious Problem

The tenant called and told Poulos that the house’s oil tank and walls in the basement had been damaged. So, she immediately hired workers to come fix the damage.

But later that night, she started thinking about what the neighbor had told her dad and started digging around on the internet for some answers, and she found some.

She Hired Someone to Dig Deeper

Poulos called one of the masons at Baldwin Masonry, who she had hired to fix the basement walls, and asked if he could dig deeper.

Then she explained how she read online that another house in the area had a secret underground room and was convinced her home had one too.
