Have you ever discovered a secret room? How did you find it, and what was inside?

I was tearing down an old house. When I ripped down a wall I found a sealed off room. Inside was an old engraving of a ship in a storm.

No, I haven't. Always wanted to........but hasn't happened yet. the closest I came, was when I was helping someone I knew, clean out their house......because the husband divorced her, and left.......and she had to sell the house........so I was giving her a hand.................big cavernous house..........and I noticed a panel in the basement was kind of loosely attached......and my curiousity got the better of me, so moved the panel a little.....and it actually slid open. Behind it, was a staggering collection of PORN.

Yes, I was installing some phone lines in an 1890s house we had just purchased and went inside a first-floor ceiling crawlspace to fish things through. There I spotted two existing holes in the old plaster, maybe from old radiator supply and return pipes, so I used a flashlight to peek through one while shining the light through the other. In the glimmering light was an oak staircase, 36 inches wide, leading up to nowhere. Following the lines of the other walls, I found the stairs led down to the basement, where the original kitchen had been, but walled off with stone during a later renovation.

we have one in the house we bought. the first winter we lived in the house we noticed heat coming from under the kitchen sink but no heat vent there. then, the next summer, my son in law was cleaning out and insulating an under the house storage corner we found and he discovered another room. that was where the heat was coming from as there was a heat vent leading to the room. he blocked it off and connected it to the kitchen as it should be and the following winter we had frozen pipes and found out why heat was being piped into that room as it lead, through a crawlspace to where the water was piped into the house. We had to seal off the outside entrance and opened a way into it through the basement. outside of a lot of dust and some cardboard, there was nothing else in there save the heat ductwork.
