This Guy Was Trekking Through The Woods When He Stumbled Upon A Secret Trapdoor In The Ground

this guy was trekking through the woods when he stumbled upon a secret trap door in the ground clambering between debris and fallen trees a german relic hunter was deep in a forest when his metal detector emitted an unexpected signal and so brushing away the cold earth and leaf littered from the ground he couldn't believe his luck it was a frickin door he exclaimed and i think there's some sort of structure down here the relic hunter whose youtube channel ww2 history hunter has more than 140 000 subscribers made the discovery while hiking in an undisclosed location in rural germany his past videos meanwhile have documented hidden world war two locations such as strategic bunkers and ammunition dumps it was a bright but bitterly cold morning in december 2015 when this adventurer began his exploration of an area of german countryside where he hoped to uncover further world war ii artifacts equipped with his metal detector and a pair of ski gloves he subsequently began searching a forest for hints of buried relics and hidden treasures today it's a forest but it didn't used to be like that he explained in a youtube video about his search they had a training facility here they had all kinds of storage of armory and weapons hence it wasn't long before the relic hunter began unearthing various intriguing objects firstly his metal detector signaled what appeared to be something chunky and definitely iron near the surface he therefore dug a large hole and found what he believed to be a cap from a french hand grenade this was then followed by a 1940 bullet cartridge however there was something else buried down there something big so the explorer dug deeper into the earth with a shovel and then bored into the hole with his fingers the object he subsequently pulled out appeared to be an enormous shard of bomb shrapnel that's because the allies bombed this area to pieces several times he explained in contrast his next find was a mystery the pitch of the signal from the metal detector indicated a small object a cartridge perhaps however the object they pulled from the earth was larger than a cartridge and it also had an attachment shank and thread could be a smoke grenade guessed the relic hunter next he found something even more unexpected a delicate paper thin circle of aluminum the relic hunter claimed that it was a top for a world war ii milk bottle quite a special find actually he remarked you never find them in a complete state like that meanwhile the landscape itself offered tentative hints of the past overgrown furrows and embankments appeared to indicate the location of foxholes trenches and other wartime structures yet it was not here that the relic hunter found the door in fact he came across the mysterious door later on while exploring higher ground among the trees after clearing away a surface covering of earth he located a large square metal lid and what appeared to be a hatch leading to an underground structure a hidden bunker maybe indeed the european countryside hides a warrant of german-built underground structures particularly on the so-called atlantic wall in coastal areas so what would the relic hunter find here inserting his shovel between the door and the frame he opened the lid a small way however the door would not fully open instead the relic hunter peered through a hole in the corner it was too dark to see anything so he decided to cover up the hatch and come back another day of course he'd been able to ascertain that there was a large structure down there but he could not yet be exactly sure how deep it was two months later though the relic hunter returned to the forest this time moreover he was kitted out with a heavy duty chisel a crowbar a hammer some ropes and a ratchet the total load of his extra equipment was around 30 pounds which demonstrated how determined he was to open that door unfortunately this time it was even colder than it had been on his previous visit some people have fun in the snow he said i'm not one of those thankfully though it turned out that there was no snow in the upper part of the forest where he'd discovered the door what's more he had it open in 10 seconds using a crowbar firstly the relic hunter was able to look inside what would he find a cache of ammunition a nazi control center or a hastily abandoned wartime bunker filled with the personal effects of german soldiers i have to say i'm really really disappointed he admitted to be honest i feel like an idiot in fact the bunker contained several large pipes and valves it appeared to be part of a water system who and what the system supplied however was unclear it may have been used for supplying local residents with drinking water or for irrigating crops alternatively it could have been built to service the nearby nazi training facility searching the area close to the hatchet the relic hunter came across a mound and after climbing on top of the small hill he found a second hatch securely bolted down the shape of the structure suggested a water tank and on that basis he formed a new hypothesis in his mind according to the relic hunter the presence of the ammunition dumps at the facility would have posed a significant fire hazard therefore the germans engineered a technological solution an ingenious fire protection system consisting of a web of underground pipes it was this supposed infrastructure that the relic hunters claimed to have found of course there is no way to verify his hypothesis without further investigation although it seems plausible ammunition bunkers typically feature some sort of flooding system to be used in the event of fires moreover why else would such a large storage tank have been installed in the middle of a remote forest however if the relic hunter is right and those pipes were once a part of an abandoned nazi facility whether to put out fires or simply supply drinking water they must at some stage connect with its underground bunkers and tunnels perhaps the future episode of ww2 history hunter would follow where they lead one imgur user however made an eerie trap door discovery much closer to home under their own roof to be precise the man who goes by the name sir bumpsalot had known that the entrance was there but hadn't yet had the courage to open it however when a handyman finally did pry it open what lay inside was dark and strange people go wild in the woods people go crazy in the woods and sometimes inexplicitly people go missing in the woods perhaps that's why one high-strung guy never had the nerve to open the trapdoor in his woodland cabin until now it's certainly a peaceful scene with sunlight streaming through the windows but was it a coincidence that the owner of this cabin had positioned a heavy table on top of the trapdoor or on the other hand had he somehow sensed darkly that whatever was down there needed to stay down there ignored and forgotten had the idea of opening it not at his curiosity like an insistent animal scratching to get in he had in fact laying awake in the early hours sleepless listening to the nocturnal sounds of the forest his mind churning over the grim possibilities indeed did he wonder if he would ever muster the courage to do what needed to be done the cabin owner went by the name of sir bumpsalot on image sharing website imgur posting photos of his dark experience in 2015 he wrote never had the guts to open it handyman came by and was all too eager to have a look and so began this unforgiving journey into the underworld in fact it soon became clear that sir bumpslot had been right to be cautious about opening the trapdoor the wood he soon discovered was rotten and crawling with venomous funnel weaver spiders bites from these arachnids can rot human flesh so finding a nest of them here wasn't ideal of course killing spiders no matter how venomous or skin crawling isn't just unnecessary and cruel it's bad luck so one by one sir bumps lot and the handymen collected every hobo and wolf spider and released them elsewhere critters safely removed it was then time to shine a light on the world below was it wise to go looking in hidden places yawning beneath them a hole receded into the darkness down there were unfathomable shapes shadows and as they would soon discover grisly sights that are not easily explained but first they shot a flashlight to and fro casting its beam all over the cellar there were walls gray and concrete forming stark outlines and tomb like enclosures the air meanwhile was damp and tinged with the scent of iron like rust or perhaps blood there was a ladder and down it went into the darkness yeah creepy wrote sir bumps a lot there seems to be a faucet in ventilation a bomb shelter maybe or a cistern in fact he would soon discover the basement may even have served more sinister purposes casting the flashlight back and forth peering closer he suddenly saw it a sight so gross and grotesque that it was almost sick making unidentified gnarliness was actually how sir bumpsalot described it because in the corner of the room there appeared to be a concrete trough filled with gelatinous slime in fact the hideous trough was just large enough to hold a human body still unfazed by the gruesome possibility that a tub of liquefied human remains had been rotting under his cabin sir bumps a lot then lower to stick inside the trough he began prodding sensing some resistance as he did so broke up the unidentified gooey mass he wrote on imgur in fact whatever had been inside the trough festering there for weeks or months or years was clearly an organic substance the walls of the trough were crusted with scum and mold and what appeared to be roots black and tentacle-like had burgeoned the soup despite the absence of light had any hapless hikers recently vanished in the area was there any reason to suspect the worst as sir bumpsalot stood over the open hole perhaps pondering his next move did he recall any missing person stories that he may have skimmed over in the local newspapers what should he do next he went down there of course to find out more gripping the rusted metal ladder he descended step by step into the crypt-like vault swallowed by darkness he cast his flashlight over the walls the floor and finally the trough in fact nothing was as it had first seemed turns out it was just a tangle of roots soaking in the rusty water he later wrote on imgur phew but we also seemed to have some of the super mario movie fungus looked pretty sinister dotted with gooey drops of who knows what sort of nopery indeed a face mask and a machete are essential kit in these circumstances however he would soon discover that there was more yet to his basement than mere roots fungus and stagnant water built as a seller for cleaning game maybe he speculated cold storage a bunker and then casting his light on the back wall he saw something peculiar the back wall had a little opening sir bumpsalot wrote strange indeed so what was this ominous hole where did it lead and what was its function and would he yet come to regret venturing into his cellar shining a light inside he discovered a pile of charred remains but without any furnace or any boiler or apparatus there it was not quite clear why anyone would have lit a fire in the basement neither was it clear exactly what had been burnt down there sensibly sir bumpsalot decided to close the door and reinforce it so no one falls through into the underworld he added bravely looks like we're going to just have to leave that closed for now and brainstorm possible uses for when the time is right that sounds like a good job for the handyman meanwhile until surbamsalat summons the courage to disturb whatever unclean spiritual forces might be lurking down there he has his dog to comfort him hug tight sir bumps a lot and fear not the dark places you
