'I made creepy discovery in house featuring blood stains and mould'

After living in a property for several years, it's reasonable to assume you know almost everything about the building. However, one man received the fright of his lifetime after discovering a "network of tunnels and rooms" beneath his home, leaving him questioning everything he believed he knew about his home.

In a Reddit post, he revealed photographs of the subterranean tunnel network and eerie chambers they led to - explaining: "There are many stained blankets, with perhaps blood. The tunnels just keep going, maybe five rooms? Some rooms have power, others with flowing water."

Following some time exploring the underground area, he described how breathing became difficult due to the mould and stagnant water that had been accumulating over the years.

He continued: "There's so much mould. I filmed a DJ set down there for an hour and I feel like my lungs have never been the same. If I'm patient zero for the next plague let it be known I'm sorry."

Offering a caution, one user commented: "Don't watch Barbarian." Another user replied: "It was nice knowing you."

A third user remarked: "This is straight out of Barbarian." One more user commented: "Congrats. You now have your very own torture dungeon."

In the 2022 film Barbarian, a young woman discovers she is sharing the rental property she booked with a stranger - and in a state of panic, she becomes trapped inside the basement before discovering hidden passages, leading to a sinister room.

With Halloween approaching, one user jokingly suggested: "Haunted house, my friend. Make a Haunted House down there. Charge $20 a head. Open for two months then don't work the rest of the year. That's the dream."

Meanwhile another said: "Brother, you need to totally clean that place up and turn it into a nice bar or hangout spot. I could totally see a bar with some couches in this space.

"Although, that mould may not be the best air freshener for guests, but that's just my opinion."

However, as the rooms are "thick with dirt and wet", he doesn't think he'll do anything with the additional space as it would cost too much money to transform it into anything worthwhile.

One more user said: "Neat. Looks like you found the old coal room. Some care has gone into this room as noted on the last picture.

"There is lighting, the ceiling has be reinforced. I can also tell that your home used to have hydronic heating with floor mounted rids but has since been converted to another form of heat (forced air heat pump or something simliar?)

"The last picture shows an insulation wrap on the piping which does not look fibreglass. It's hard to tell what material it is.

"It does not look like asbestos to me since it more of a clothe type wrap but caution should still be exercised around it."
