Nenavadno odkritje sta delila na družbenih omrežjih, video pa je takoj postal viralen.

Hayley Gilmartin in njen mož Trevor iz Michigana sta se odločila prenoviti svoj dom ob Huronskem jezeru. Med odstranjevanjem starega jacuzzija sta naletela na rov, ki je vodil do skrivne sobe, piše Newsweek.

“Vedela sva, da naju čaka veliko dela, a nisva pričakovala, da bova pod jacuzzijem odkrila rov,” je povedala Gilmartin. Podala sta se v raziskovanje rova in našla veliko sobo, napolnjeno z vodo.

“Vode ne moremo izčrpati, ker je soba povezana s Huronskim jezerom prek velike cevi,” je pojasnila v videu. Lastnika sta začela raziskovati zgodovino hiše, da bi ugotovila, čemu je bila soba namenjena.

Glede na to, da Huronsko jezero leži ob meji med Kanado in ZDA, sklepata, da je bila skrivna soba namenjena tihotapljenju alkohola med državama v času prohibicije. To potrjuje tudi dejstvo, da imajo podobne predore pod hišami tudi njuni sosedje.

@hayleyg099 Took out the Jacuzzi in the house we purchased 4 years ago and found a manhole to a room that goes 20ft under the house. Of course Trevor wanted to get in and swim around. Ended up finding another passage with a bolted wooden wall infront if it.

Zakonca, ki sta hišo kupila leta 2020, sta v podzemnem prostoru našla še z lesom obloženo steno. Kaj se skriva za njo, še nista odkrila.

“Raziskovala bova še naprej. Če bo mogoče, bova izčrpala vodo in morda prostor preuredila v igralnico ali kegljišče,” je še povedala Gilmartin.

@hayleyg099 Update! Part2!! Since everyone knows our house, we thought we would share what we do know! This is not a septic and not a basement. This room is still getting water from Lake Huron/the river, that it is connected to.( thus why its impossible to pump the water out) We tore out the jaccuzi because it was broke and way too much to fix since it was from the 70s. Nothing drains into this room from our house. We do know that our house was a pumping station back in the day. We haven’t tore down the wooden wall, but that is next! The last part of the video is of the pipe in the lake that is connecting to the room under our house which is supplying it fresh water. We definetly will keep updating and hope to find out more and seal it off, if possible! For those who dont know how big the Great Lakes are… they are huge, surrounding all of MI, and are fresh water. The room water temp is about 52degrees which is a couple degrees warmer than Lake Huron. @TrevorHayley G #update #mystery #hiddenroom #jacuzzi #part2 #creepy ♬ Spooky, quiet, scary atmosphere piano songs – Skittlegirl Sound

Pred skoraj stoletjem sta Huronsko jezero in reka Saint Clair postala ključni vodni poti, ki so ju čolnarji in kriminalne združbe uporabljali za tihotapljenje alkohola čez mejo. Strokovnjaki ocenjujejo, da je kar 75 odstotkov tihotapljenja v obdobju prohibicije potekalo na tem območju.
