Woman's life turns into horror movie after finding hidden door behind wallpaper

A woman has taken to social media to share how she discovered a secret room in her house four years after moving in - and got the fright of her life when she opened it

A woman got the fright of her life after discovering a hidden door behind her wallpaper while redecorating. She lived in the house with her family for four years before making the creepy discovery - and says she moved out not too long after.

Taking to Reddit, she said: "There was a hidden door behind the wallpaper - obviously the doorknob had been taken off so it blended into the wall in the hallway." Not knowing what she'd find inside, the woman opened the door expecting it to be full of spider webs at the very worst.

However, she was not at all prepared for what was actually lurking inside. "We saw a skeleton in the corner - I'm not going lie that scared me s***less," she added. "Although it was just a prop left by the past owners of our house."

Commenting on her post, one user said: "I'd like to imagine that there's some guy who every so often remembers the skeleton he placed in a hidden room and chuckles wondering if anyone has found it yet."

Another user added: "You need to reseal the room before you sell so you can pass on the tradition."

A third user said: "Leave an artificially-aged note behind a baseboard in one of the bedrooms.

"Seriously, someone would have one hell of a treasure hunt later and it would be all in good fun at the end.

"Think of how much fun it would be for the next person to find the note and the room, no matter which order they find them in.

"If you're going to have a secret room, do it right."

One more user added: "Well, at least you can be happy in the fact that the previous owners were just a bunch of harmless pranksters and there's no real bad spirts in your home."
