Woman's horror after finding hidden room filled with 'sinister photos' in house

A woman has discovered a secret room in her basement - and as if that wasn't creepy enough, she then went on to uncover what's inside it.

She explained how she found the room while carrying out renovation work, saying she didn't know anything about it beforehand.

It was when she started removing old panelling that she broke through to the secret room. Taking to Reddit, she said: "[I found a] hidden room in the basement and things in the ceiling.

"The only access is through a small square in the wall, and it was covered with panelling and walled off years ago." She went on to explain how her house was built in 1893 - and she bought it off a man with an interest in radio.

"[The basement] was a radio room. The previous owner had a fancy radio and talking to people all over the country," she added. "We have a huge radio tower in the backyard."

When searching the room and its ceiling, she discovered radio equipment, a vintage Schick Colonel electric razor, a Ridgid pin-up poster, and 'creepy' film negatives.

The woman said: "They're creepy pictures of ladies' butts in underwear. They were hidden in the ceiling. They were all creepy butt pictures. We tossed them."

She believes the pictures were taken without the women's permission, with some shot at a distance through a fence.

"We're going to renovate the upstairs this year, no telling what we'll find," she added.

Commenting on her discovery, one user said: "What the hell."

Another user added: "I can imagine some freak can pay well for all those items, they are good-shaped treasures."

A third user said: "Could be worse. At least it wasn't some serial murder s***."

One more user added: "That's awesome! Look for more rooms."
