Don’t we all wish for the day that the house of our dreams is finally in our possession? However, the man we are about to talk about got more than he bargained for when he purchased a house. As he explored his new property, Christopher found something that completely changed his life.

House of His Dreams

Intrigued, he began investigating but he did not know that going down the terrifying tunnel meant there was no going back. He kept going even when he was advised by a police officer and a realtor not to go any deeper.

Investigating

When Christopher was done with the investigation and all the proof was in front of him, he knew his only choice was to go away and never come back. What exactly did he find when he explored his new home?



Wandering The Woodland

Christopher Wanliss purchased a new property not that long ago. Resting on 16.5-hectare woodland fields, he was thrilled to own a space that was completely his own. Unbeknownst to him, he was about to stumble on a portal of sorts in the land he now owned.

A Tour Of His Land

Nonetheless, it seems like this was what fate had in store for him. Once, he went on a tour of his new property and its surrounding area. The seasons were not gentle and they have stripped away the outer layers of the trees in the area. However, this only made the surroundings look even more beautiful.



Autopilot

Christopher enjoyed everything the area had to offer, from the birdsongs to the silence of the forest. It was not long before his feet began to wander on its own as his body and mind both went into auto-pilot mode. Suddenly, something captured his attention.



Was It A Tree?

Christopher was still in some sort of haze when he approached the direction of the object that caught his interest. It was rather small and dark, almost like it was in hiding. Could it have been just another tree, one that was smaller, darker and older than the rest?



The Mysterious Structure

Although this was what he initially thought, he got the sense that he was wrong when he got closer. He felt a thrill of excitement and some terror as he continued to inspect it. Christopher then stumbled and fell down into a 3-foot ditch!

Abandoned And Old

Covered by mud and leaves, he was dumbfounded by the fall. He shook it off and looked at what laid ahead in front of him. What he saw perplexed him – did he really just discover a mine located on his property? Judging by its appearance, it looked abandoned and old. He felt compelled to investigate the secrets held by this intriguing structure.



The Walls

The exterior of the mine had been covered with moss-like material and it was hard to look inside. He was thrilled to embark on a new adventure so he went home to get a flashlight that would let him see what was hiding in there.

A Ton Of Mines

Christopher narrated that moment by saying, “When we bought the house, nobody ever told us about the fact that the estate had a lot of mines on it. We just sort of stumbled upon the gold mine one day and that was it. When I first saw it, I was so excited that I almost fell over myself. The only thing that I could think about was Indiana Jones and underground railroads.”



A Bad Decision

At that time, he did not have any idea this would be the worst decision he would ever make. Nonetheless, he made it back to the entrance, now armed with a flashlight. He was holding his breath and he was welcomed by something sparkly on the walls as he stepped inside. What was it?



Echoing Footsteps

The walls were damp and looked like they would fall down at any given moment. His footsteps echoed and he could not help but think about all the soil pressing down on the structure. He wanted to stay there for some time and this was evident since he took a flashlight and three backup batteries.

Sparkling Material

When he neared the walls, he could not help but brush his hand around the sparkling material of the stones. He remembered thinking, “What if this was gold?” However, he soon forgot about all of that when he noticed something that could change the course of this adventure right away.



Cold And Damp Inside

Regardless of the temperature outside, the mine was cold and rather damp. He was quick to notice that the footprints he made left 4-inch indentations on the soil. It looked like there was a source of water since there were fresh pools of water inside. He worried since he knew stagnant puddles in places like this could carry dangerous gases.

The Sound Of An Echo

However, as he looked ahead of him with the flashlight directed straight outward, he still could not see the end of the tunnel. He could tell that there was someone or something else in there. He then began hearing noises echoing the tunnel! Curious, he started to follow the source of the noise and he clearly did not know that this was the wrong move to take.



No Light, No Warmth

As he kept walking down the tunnel, there was no movement of air, no warmth, and no light. He held on tight to his flashlight, almost as if he was holding a blade for battle. The noise got louder this time around. He could hear old metal parts and machinery somewhere along the path.

Something Hiding

He also began hearing voices! He could not tell what they were saying but Christopher was brave enough to shout, “Who’s there?” The only response he received was his echo. Courage filled him and he was determined to see who was hiding in there.



Old Ventilation System

Now surrounded by dirt and water, his boots went in deeper with every step he took. He saw a yellow ventilation system in place but it looked like it was falling apart. There were also chains hanging low near each other but they were all molding and rusting.

Weird Energy

Christopher suddenly felt strange and felt like there was weird energy down there. There was something pulling him back and he felt like he should not have been there. Nonetheless, he kept following the path of the water to trace where it came from. Perhaps that was where he will find the sources of the voice. Was someone living down there?



Finally Some Light

“The ambient temperature also seemed to suddenly drop all around me at this point, and I felt an even stronger negative presence ahead in the tunnel,” he narrated. He was nearly 150 feet into the tunnel when he turned around and found some light near the entrance.



Swinging

He could not believe what he saw as soon as he looked back. He could only stand there for two seconds when his body finally reacted. He jumped, held onto the walls, and felt his claustrophobia grow stronger. One of the chains started to swing!

Who Was There?

No, it was not a light movement as it was moving with strength. He knew someone was there, watching him. His heart was pounding when he ran all the way back to the entrance. He knew he had to escape and contact someone about what he found. The question now was who?



The First Call

Sweaty and terrified, he made his way home. Christopher immediately reached for his phone and got in touch with the realtor. He then began describing what he saw on the walls, the sparkly stuff that gave light to the small but deep tunnel. The real estate agent told him they were sending someone to take a look at it.

Mining Hills

“When we went to ask about the place, we were finally told that the estate had actually been home to quite a lot of mining sites. A lot of mining was done in these hills at the turn of the century, and there are a lot of little mines that are scattered across the hills,” Christopher recalled. Although Christopher initially felt better after the call, his body tensed up right away again. “This cannot be happening!” he exclaimed.



Dropping Temperatures and Flickering Lights

Christopher had been standing in his kitchen when the call ended. Much to his surprise, the lights began to flicker. He tried to control the panic blooming in his chest and started breathing rapidly. The flickering lights went on for a while until everything suddenly went dark.

To The Thermostat

He made his way to the location of the switch in the room and turned it on and off. Nothing happened. Instead, he began to feel a chill that had not been there moments before. A breeze suddenly hit his face! He still had his wits about him so he quickly retrieved the flashlight from his pocket, flicked it on, and directed it to his thermostat.



Quite The Temperature Drop

Christopher saw that the temperature inside fell quite a bit and that his breath made a cloud in front of him. “How strange,” he thought. He wanted to get the power back on so he headed for the circuit breaker. Maybe a fuse had just blown.



Technical Problems

As he held up the light to the breaker, it did not look like anything was wrong. Everything was in check and the main fuse looked perfectly fine. As he kept investigating the box, he tried switching different things on and off. Luckily, this worked and he was relieved that nothing more sinister was at play.

The Doorbell Rang

“Faulty wiring,” he told himself even though he still felt nervous. He headed back upstairs to fetch himself a glass of water and calm himself down. The moment he got there, however, he heard the doorbell ring. What was it now?



Meet Mr. Rudall

Mr. Rudall quickly introduced himself and explained that the real estate agent sent him because of what Christopher just discovered. He wanted to see what he just found and was intrigued about the substance that he described over the phone.

The Calm Before The Storm

Christopher showed Rudall to the entrance of the mine and told him to be careful as he made his way down to avoid hurting himself. As they walked quietly through the woods, the sky looked grey just as it would right before a storm.



Troubling Words

They both took out their flashlights when they reached the mine. The sparkling substance looked even more evident this time and the glare hit them in the face. Rudall approached the walls for a closer look and he could no longer hold in his excitement. When he turned to Christopher, it felt like the mine was trying to tell them something. Rudall then told Christopher something rather troubling.



Old Gossip

Rudall started telling Christopher how the mine was definitely a gold mine that had been made a long time ago. As he stared at the walls, it was evident that the gold remained untouched. There was enough evidence that the miners did not finish the job and abandoned the mine instead. Why was that?

Abandoned Gold

Rudall then explained that there had been plenty of rumors about mining during the turn of the century, though he did not know about any particular gold mines before this one. So why did the miners abandon the mine and leave all that gold in there? Nothing positive came to mind but Christopher wanted to know the truth.



Knock Knock

He willed up all his courage to further investigate the mine and there were two things on his mind. One, he could find gold instead. Two, it could also be haunted. He prepared for the excursion and headed inside with spare batteries and a flashlight in hand. As he made his way down the path, darkness soon enveloped him.

The Source Of The Water

Previously, he was only able to make it 150 feet into the tunnel. He knew that he needed to keep going no matter what happened. That was the only way he could get to the bottom of this. It was 600 feet into the tunnel that he discovered the source of the water. It was – get this– a door.



Shivers

He felt a shiver go through his body and the water falling onto his face blurred his vision. He sucked in a breath and brought his fist up to knock even though he knew he would not get an answer. He opened the door and got the shock of his life.



A Different World Altogether

It seems like he had entered a whole different world. Regardless of the weather outside, the room was freezing. He touched the walls and they felt colder and rougher than those outside. He felt his claustrophobia telling him to go outside right that instant but then the light from his flashlight hit something else.

Something Was Going On

There were plenty of ruined objects huddled together but it didn’t make any sense to him. After all, why would anyone leave their stuff there? He felt that the air had gotten thicker and a huge pressure built up in his chest. There was something weird going on here and he did not know what it was.



Living Down There

When he inspected the hunk, Christopher saw a bedspring. It was rusty and torn and it was all the answer he needed. Someone lived there and it does not look like they were in a hurry to stay anywhere else. Christopher could not get the thought out of his head when another thing caught his interest.

In Hiding

He saw a brick hideaway. This did not comfort him because who needed a hideaway in a door in a mine? The answer is someone trying to hide something important. Curious, he approached the hole but he did not find anything there. Just as he was turning around to retreat, he found something else on the walls of the brick structure.



A Brick Hideout

Using his flashlight to light the bricks, he saw some white scratches scribbled on the walls. He could not figure out what it said until he came nearer. He could then see that there were four vertical lines on the walls. It was odd, to say the least.

Nightmarish

He ran his hand over the scratches to inspect them. It felt like the scratches were made using fingers since they were rather superficial but deep enough to mark the cement. Who could have been eager to escape the place? As he thought about this, he found yet another thing that would appear in his nightmares.



Writing On The Wall

On the other wall, he found more scratches but they weren’t simple lines this time. No, he found an undecipherable message that he decided to document. He whipped out his camera and snapped a photo. Perhaps later he could use his computer to further investigate and decode it.

Chills Went Through His Body

All of sudden, he heard something and a chill went through his body. There was someone else in there. He directed his flashlight to where he thought the sound came from. Nothing there. He turned and kept looking at the writing on the wall until he heard metal clashing and a cold breeze descended on his shoulder.



He Sprinted

He felt like he just went through a cold shower as all the warmth in his body dissipated. In the beginning, it almost looked like it came from behind him, then the front, then he could not tell anymore since it appeared to come from all directions. It was getting louder, closer, and more frantic… He ran for his life.



Running For His Life

He felt shivers go down his spine and he felt ice in his veins as he scampered off. He could not help but feel like there was something wrong. His mind instructed him to stay still but his body continued to drag him to the mine’s entrance. When he made it out, he held on to his chest and collapsed.

So Right, It Was Wrong

He should have figured out that everything was so right that it was wrong. An untouched gold mine was simply too good to be true. He then gathered himself and then headed for his house.



Like A Madman

Everything was so still that it seemed the air absorbed the sound of his footsteps. The trees did not seem to rustle either, almost as if they felt how tense everything was. He ran like a madman. He needed to find out what was going on.



Help From Google

When he made it to his house, he dived for his study and shut himself in there. There was something odd going on in the mine and he wanted to find out the answers to his questions. He enlisted the help of the Internet.

Haunted Mines

He tried to Google ‘haunted mines’ and he felt goosebumps as the results were loading. He could feel that whatever had been in the mine was there in the house with him. Was his mind playing tricks on him?



Whispering

He turned around and heard sounds of whispering erupt everywhere. Was he going mad? When Christopher turned around, the whispering halted. The air was icy now and only his heavy breathing could be heard.



Paranormal Activity

Out of nowhere, the results page finished loading and the first result read: “If you want to get rid of the paranormal activity in the mine and subsequently, in your life, you have to face it.” Could he do it? Could he get everything to stop? There was only one thing to do now.



The Doorknob

It was then that he heard knocking in series of threes. He felt a lump in his throat and swallowed. He managed to ask, “Hello?” He took a couple of steps and turned the handle of the door to his study.



The Pictures

He went to the kitchen but a whirring noise caught his attention. It was coming from his camera! Why the heck was his camera making noises? It was off! Things were getting weirder and weirder.

It Was On

He picked it up, even though he was surprised it was open since he remembered turning it off the moment he entered the house. He checked the pictures he captured earlier but then something odd happened.



The Card Was Wiped

He found absolutely nothing on the SD card. It had been wiped. He grabbed the camera again and started sprinting for the mine. He decided to face whatever might be in there. He had had enough.



Foolish Courage

Christopher mustered all of his courage as he went back to the mine. He was once again met with darkness and when his eyes adjusted, he realized his mistake. What was he doing in this haunted mine?!

Pitch Black Tunnel

The shadowy tunnel already appeared darker than it did the last two times he had been in there. He thought maybe his flashlight was simply acting up so he kept moving forward.



Cool Air

He walked through the puddles and only stopped when he felt a blast of cold air. It hit him with such force that it almost felt like someone threw a basketball at him. The coldness left him feeling cold down to his bones.



The Noise Was Back

At that moment, he heard the metal noise again. He couldn’t believe what was going on. He knew he had no choice but to push onward. In all likelihood, he had no idea why this was wrong.



Terrible Noise

He kept walking through the dark corridor but then halted abruptly. He could hear that the noise was too close – in fact, his ears started to ring and he screeched in pain. There was no turning back now, he was in too deep.

Metal Noise

The metal noise sounded like a barrage of metals clunking together. He cupped his head in his hands for a long time. Everything stopped all of a sudden. He looked up the moment the sound became muted. The silence filled him with more horror than the noise did. And then he saw it.



Dangerous Waters

The chains hanging from the ceiling of the corridor began to swing in a rhythmic manner. It also looked like they were dancing. He felt hypnotized by what he was seeing that he could not even process the sound of swooshing water.

A Big Flood

When his eyes adjusted, he saw a flood of water coming for him, not unlike a tsunami. “I must be going crazy!” he thought to himself as the silence was interrupted by the noise of swooshing water.



What Was Hiding?

He felt a headache coming on and every single cell in his body screamed as he made his way toward the light of the mine entrance. What was he going to do next? It seems like he could not handle whatever was hiding in there…



Safety At Last

As he was making his way out of the mine into salvation, he took another look behind his shoulder. He felt perplexed when he did not see any trace of water back there! All he saw was the footsteps he made in there.

Too Close For Comfort

He started his trek to his house. He knew he had to tell someone who could actually help him solve the mystery. He could not stand not knowing what was happening. Especially since it was living under him.



Who Was There?

Christopher made his way through the dark woods but halted when he saw a light. It was coming from his kitchen! Did he leave them on? He was almost sure he didn’t. Was someone else inside?



No One There

He entered the door but the house felt alone and empty. It does not seem like anyone was there so he probably left the lights on. He shuffled through the kitchen but he could not forget about what happened in the mine.

Was It All Real?

“Did everything really happen?” he asked himself when he headed for his study and booted up his computer. Was he going to actually do this? He did not believe in the paranormal but after what he experienced, he did not know what to think.



It Went Black

He opened the search engine once more and started typing. The computer then let out a loud noise and the screen went black as if it had shut down then and there. “What could possibly go wrong next?” he asked. Unbeknownst to him, this was not yet the end of the story.



Exhausted

Christopher was both mentally and physically exhausted. The day completely wiped him out. He rested his face in his hands and felt a tug. Out of nowhere, there was something pulling at his feet.

He Was Off

He then stumbled backward and fell in the process. This was the last straw. He needed to get out of there and ask for help. Perhaps there was a rational explanation to what was happening. He started his car and went to the nearest café he could find.



A Professional

There, he got a double espresso and accessed the internet using his phone. He immediately typed, “Best paranologist near me”. He was surprised to see that there were two different places nearby. He hopped on his car and arrived at one of the locations he saw in Google Maps.



Sleepless Nights

The storefront had a sign that read “TAROT readings”. He felt a wave of relief hit him. He still could not believe what he had gone through but he needed to know the answers to questions if he wanted to sleep soundly at night.



For Sale

Upon entering the store, the door of the entrance let off a song and he smelled the strong scent of incense. He saw a woman wearing red and purple. She turned to Christopher and offered him a hand. She began chanting right away and it was a tune that sounded familiar to him. He could not help but feel drawn towards the song. He recognized that it was the same tune he heard down in the mine, though this was far more melodic. Without a word, Christopher opened his eyes and got into his car.

Leaving It All Behind

He headed straight for his mother’s house after that and immediately put the house up for sale. The developers in charge of the property tried to contact him but they never heard back from him. Instead, his mother took his place and sold the property on his behalf. She was open to negotiating with anyone who expressed an interest in buying it.



Unanswered Questions

Now, there are plenty of questions surrounding the story. Did Christopher really see everything he claimed to have witnessed? Was his mind playing tricks on him or was it truly haunted? Has anyone ventured down there ever since?



A Fine Christmas Morning

Jose Antonio Nievas woke up at sunrise on Christmas day of 2015. This was not anything out of the ordinary for the Argentinian man. He was so excited for it to be Christmas that he woke up early, so he decided it would be a nice day to go for a walk on his ranch. He noticed something that seemed very out of place and out of the ordinary when he was walking past the stream on the property. What was this huge stone that he found on the water? He was very curious, and he knew he had to go get a closer look. When he looked up close, he realized it was not actually a stone!



Asking For Help

After finding this mysterious formation, he attempted to scrape some of the mud off of the surface so he could take a better look. He was hoping this would help him see what it was. He tried and tried, but he could not simply scrape the mud off of this mysterious object. After he realized this could be something important, he called his wife, Reina. He hoped that she could help him figure out what this object was.



Working On It Some More

When Reina joined Jose at the site, they worked together to try and take the mud off of this object and figure out what it was. The pair made sure to work slowly and carefully so they wouldn’t damage any parts. The farther they got into the process, the more they were realizing just how massive this object was. After spending hours working as hard as they could, they both were in agreement that they needed to call someone else in for help. They called the police to see if they could assist them.



Everyone Heard About It

Though the only people Jose and Reina contacted about this were the police, everyone found out somehow. Soon enough, nearly everyone in town was out by the stream to take a look. Unfortunately, the police and bystanders also had no clue what this object was. The police had no rational explanation for what this could be, and they were just as confused as everyone else. The good news was that Jose brought his dog along because the pup ended up being more helpful than anyone else!



An Excited Pooch

When the dog got let off of his leash and released into the water, he noticed something. He started sniffing all over the place and kept moving closer and closer to the object. Everyone was feeling hopeful that the dog was sniffing out something important. After all, dogs don’t usually make such a big scene over something that is not relevant.



The Professional Opinion

Since the dog was giving clues that there was something important here, the police decided it was time to call in the real professionals to help them, so they asked two local archaeologists to come by. They knew that it was important to conduct a proper scientific investigation. This meant that they had to take it to a lab. The archaeologists then organized the transport of the object so that they could do this.



Digging It Out

Once the archaeologists arrived, they tried to start digging the object out, but they found that it was very heavy. They also noticed that there was some sort of egg inside of this hard material. The digging took much more time than expected, and it was not an easy task. They had no idea how they would manage getting this object into their lab.



Discoveries

When the archaeologists were able to take a look at this object, they said something that was to be expected: it was not from this time period. In fact, the object was actually very ancient. The archaeologists put a piece of the object under a microscope to try and understand it further.



What It Was

After doing their research and looking at the object very closely, they realized they were looking at a fossil! Not just any fossil though; it was the fossil of an ancient turtle shell. The craziest thing is that this discovery was linked to another discovery that happened at the same time on the other side of the world!



A Michigan Man

While all of this craziness was going on in Argentina, something very similar was happening across the world in Michigan. A farmer named James Bristle also made an incredible discovery on his property. Though these two farmers have never met each other and do not know each other, the two of them were making history together by discovering these objects, and they didn’t even know it!



Digging In

James was trying to find the perfect spot on his property for his new gas line when he decided that the soy field on his property was the best idea for this. He started digging away to begin his work. He knew that to create a brand new natural gas line he would have to do a lot of digging, but he had no idea that he would find something he never expected to see in his life.



Using Proper Equipment

In order to start properly digging to create his natural gas line, he had to bring in some super heavy-duty machinery. More specifically, he had to bring in a backhoe to help him with the process. He knew that it wouldn’t be a quick or easy task to accomplish, but he wanted to have it done by October. He thought this was doable with hard work.



On A Time Crunch

He knew this project would not be easy if he did not finish bt the time the snow started to fall, so he tried to get to work as soon as possible. When he started digging, though, he hit a hard object. He knew he needed to work quickly if he wanted to figure out what this mystery object was.



Hitting Something Hard

He normally wouldn’t feel so surprised to run into a rock while digging, but he knew that his soy field had soft and moistened soil, so he shouldn’t feel any hard objects. James had no idea what this object could be, but he wanted to find out. He got out of the machine’s seat and went to check it out. Soon he started feeling around the object. It was hard and smooth, but there was no way it was a rock.



Way Too Big

James kept clearing away with his hands until all of the dirt was cleared away. After cleaning the whole area, he saw that it was some sort of a bone! He had never seen anything quite like this before, and he was fascinated. At first, he thought that it could be a rib bone, however, he knew it was much too large to be from something that he had ever seen around here before.



Back In Argentina

What else is going on with the other farmer back in Argentina? The archaeologists and researchers put the puzzle pieces together and figured out what the object is from. It was a very ancient object left here from around the same time as the dinosaurs were here!



Curiosity Got The Best Of Him

He knew that this animal was much too large to have been from something like a horse or a cow. He couldn’t help but feel super curious about what this could be, so he kept digging. Jose was definitely not anticipating on stumbling into a fossilized shell when he went on a walk that Christmas morning. This armadillo-like animal referred to as a glyptodon was exactly what he found.



Meanwhile In Michigan

Back in Michigan, the farmer kept up with the digging and excavating for the next day! Nobody could believe their eyes when yet another bone was discovered on the property. Much to James’ surprise, this bone was actually much larger than the first one he came across the other day.



An Archaeological Site

By the time they were this far into their process, they were finding themselves digging up to 10 feet into the ground! James thought he was just starting a dig for a new natural gas line, but that quickly turned into calling a group of archaeologists in for help. When everyone in town found out about this miraculous discovery, everyone wanted to know more and more information. Once the local and national news outlets heard about it, this was a story to be heard around the world.



The Word Got Out

Just like what happened in Argentina, the same thing happened with this town’s community in Michigan. Everyone wanted to be involved in some way or another, but they didn’t know how to just sit back and wait. Everyone started a rumor that this mysterious creature was a monster that once lived on the property a long time ago.
