When we snoop around our surroundings, we often come across things that are out of the ordinary. We never actually know the history of where we live or the incidents that had taken place in the place we live in. For this family who had lived in their home for a few years, something truly unbelievable took place after they realized that their property had been holding onto a secret of epic proportions. This story would definitely make you curious about the history of your own place…

Staten Island Suburbia

This family had lived in this house for four years. Never did they suspect that any secret or surprise would even be discovered in the place they called home. Matthew Emanuel and his family had moved in their home in Todt Hill, Staten Island, without any notion that the garden in their compound was hiding an untouched secret. What they discovered soon would turn their world upside down…

What A Prize

As most of us would relate to, there in the corner of their yard was something that they never expected to find. In fact, it was not even buried deep beneath the grass. This was truly a very unassuming prize. The Emanuel family was unaware about this incredible secret on their property that was going to link them to a chain of unresolved mysteries.

The Box

So right there in the Emanuel family’s backyard, laid nicely in the ground by the side of their fence, was a simple box. This random box had clearly remained untouched or had not been moved in a very long time.  This box was also covered with coils of stinging ivy. There was about to be some changes and happenings affecting this family.

Very Stormy Weather

Due to natural reasons, the Emanuel family then uncovered the mysterious box, obviously becoming intrigued to know more about it. The winter storms at the beginning of the year 2018 were quite strong and rough. Heavy snow was causing a lot of trees to fall. This lead to the mystery of the house to be put there on the spot, open and exposed. Spring was coming so, they needed to fix their garden…

Right There

The family had been living there with absolutely no clue about the mysterious box lying right there, barely hidden. We can all agree when we say that some secrets in life lire there right under our noses but we just do not even notice them. Just check your surroundings more properly next time you are looking for something because in most cases, they often hide in plain sight.

At Their Fingertips

The box had always been located at just a glance away. The weird rusted box in the backyard was actually lying there in the yard, clearly visible from the family room. It was even visible from the front deck too. It had never crossed their minds to go and find out what it was. Since it did not draw too much attention, the family never paid too much heed to the box. But it was time to unravel its mystery now…
