The woman's basement floor suddenly collapses and reveals the secret hidden underneath. Everyone wonders what sort of history their home is hiding. After all, some people have found amazing artifacts and treasures in their basements and addicts. So, why would your house be any different? In reality, most of us live in ordinary homes with nothing of note to find. Of course, they might feature secret hiding places and precious memories collected over time, but when it comes to real treasure, well, not so much. Alexandra Poulos' home was an exception. What she found hiding in her attic was much more surprising than any family artifact or obscure book. In fact, it might have changed history. Growing up in Lansdown, Pennsylvania, Alexandra Poulos assumed that her childhood home was perfectly normal. Still, well now, 43 and married, she's recently learned that might not be the case. When she was a little girl, she often dreamed about rooms in the house that weren't actually there. She was felt the house was unique and different, and when her mother passed away, Alexandra was drawn back to her family home. Although she loved the home, she couldn't bring herself to stay there now that her parents were gone, but she wasn't ready to sell it either. Instead, she rented out the house to a new family and only visited to make repairs. It was during one of these visits that she discovered something amazing. Many repairs were required in the basement, and well workers spent their days trying to restore things. Alexandra couldn't shake the feeling that they were just standing on top of a mystery. Curious, she'd be seated to dig just a little bit deeper. The workers followed her instructions and kept digging, and thank goodness that they did. After a few days of work, they discovered a room and a secret tunnel beneath the basement floor. It turned out that Alexandra's home had been a part of the underground railroad. For years, Alexandra's family had heard rumors that their home had been a stop on the underground railroad, which led slaves to freedom. Unfortunately, they never had any proof until that moment. Alexandra couldn't believe that her home was living history. When workers first opened the hole that led to the secret passage, they didn't realize how deep it was. It was so deep in fact that Alexandra's tenants lowered a fishing pole into it and still didn't hit the wall. Her tenants weren't surprised by the home's history, claiming that they had felt a spiritual presence when they moved in. When asked by reporters who'd heard of her story, if Alexandra had any plans to cover up the hole leading into the secret passage, she was adamant, no way. Instead of permanently covering up that piece of history, she instead planned to install a door for safety purposes. Alexandra also explained that it was no coincidence that her house was located on Garret Road. The road was named after Thomas Garret, who helped Harriet Tubman free 2700 slaves in the area. It's two minutes away from the house, added Alexandra. I hope to one day give tours of the site an honor of all they accomplished. It's unbelievable that Alexandra managed to find this in her own home, especially since she's dreamed of things like this as a kid. Without people like Alexandra's ancestors, history would have been a lot different. Share this incredible story with your friends below.
