Types Of Equipment

Carol ran inside the house to bring back a torch and some types of equipment that the couple might need when they go inside the hatch. Ken’s heart was racing as he was constantly thinking about what would they find inside the hatch. She rushed to her husband with the types of equipment and handed over to him.

Water

They were finally able to see what was inside with the help of the torch and the minute they realized it they went pale. All they could see was water, the whole room was filled with water. So before they could enter they had to drain out the water first. They slowly started to pump the water out of the hatch. They didn’t have any idea about the source of the water. The room was as small as they expected it to be. But this was not the end of the mystery. There was more to it.

Secret Place?

Once they had drained out all the water from the hatch, they could tell that it was some kind of hiding place or a storm shelter. But Ken had already ruled out the possibility of the hatch being a tornado shelter. And if the hatch wasn’t a tornado shelter then what was it?

Unraveling The Mystery

With their hearts in their mouths, they were carefully stepping into the hatch. The torch helped them to see what was inside it. Once they were completely into the hatch their eyes widened with amazement. The room wasn’t just dirty and filthy but it had all the required amenities that man would need in a room.

Previous Owner

They had already guessed by now, that the hatch might have been built by the previous owner. But the question was why would a person build a secret room inside in his own house? To get the answer to the question, they thought of further investigating the secret room. After a while, they came to the conclusion that it wasn’t just a room that was made for fun, it was a fallout shelter.

Purpose

They guessed that the previous owner might have designed this shelter to protect himself from exposure to the radioactive debris. It was used by the people so that they could remain safe in a room for a long time. But what was the emergency?
