This couple from Ohio had been trying to renovate their 1940s house when they found something unexpected. After renovating the first and second floors, they started working on the basement. They didn’t know this would be the start of an unforgettable adventure. 

After removing the wallpaper, the homeowner was shocked to find all kinds of drawings and writings on the wall. He also found an object lying between the subfloor and the ceiling. He kept working by hammering and then cleaning the area. He also recorded the journey with a camera. As he kept going, he saw that there was something in there. The bulk turned out to be a suitcase.

He called his wife to tell her about it and waited until she returned home. The couple opened the suitcase together but were not particularly impressed at first. Was this all? After all, they only found rectangular objects wrapped in wax paper, which was not what they expected the bag to contain. When they unwrapped it, they saw that it held cash inside. To be specific, it was a thick stack made up of $20 bills.

They looked more closely and saw that the notes were old.

“The second package didn’t have any twenties. It was all fifties! What’s going on? There could be £5,000 here! Wait!

The third package is 100s! This is out of control!” he said later. Everyone was wondering about it.

It was clear that the bills came from a long time ago, from the 1920s to the 1930s. They also had to count all the money.

There was a newspaper lying on the floor. The date in the newspaper provided some answers.

According to the date in the newspaper, it was published on 25 March 1951.

It was an old issue of the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper, and the couple was shocked by its age.

They also discovered that the person behind it was based in Cleveland.

They then contacted a lawyer to calculate the total cash amount in today’s dollars. The lawyer said the suitcase had about $23,000 in it.

But the mystery was not over yet. The man found one more suitcase in the ceiling!

They soon found something so shocking that they had to contact the FBI.

After all, it also came with stacks of money! When they found out how much it was, they were speechless.

Then they remembered that there was a strange door on the second floor of the house.

The second one was lined with cash in a very tidy way. They were shocked.

They couldn’t believe it. They checked the second stash and found it was worth $45,000.

This hidden room was even more significant than they had expected.

The briefcase contained some interesting items: a wooden box, a jewelry box, and watches. Whose prized possessions could these be?

1 oz silver ingots, rings, watches, and envelopes containing money from various countries.

They then opened the case and had a quick look inside. There were lots of different things in there. They saw old jewelry, like watches, rings, and four silver bars.

A couple of tapes were inside the safe, but he was bothered by a handwritten message that read, “Do not.

To solve the mystery, he needed to watch the recordings inside them.

He could only watch them for a few seconds before he knew it was time to hand over the task to the authorities.

The FBI took all six tapes, but we never heard what was on them.

The only people who have seen the footage are the maker, the agents, and the homeowners. The man watched something he wished he could forget.

Sadly, we may never know what was on the tapes.
