these brothers unsuspectingly made the
0:02
purchase of a lifetime it was a large
0:04
piece of land on the outskirts of town
0:06
they were planning to build their own
0:08
home there but they did not expect this
0:10
shed to still be present on the grounds
0:13
they opened it and inside they found a
0:15
hidden secret that revealed the identity
0:17
of the former owner a discovery that
0:20
would change their lives forever but

of our upcoming stories brothers Henry
0:30
and Tom were on their way to their newly
0:32
purchased piece of land it was a
0:34
thrilling drive and both brothers
0:36
couldn't wait to see what their
0:37
investment had brought them they got the
0:39
place for basically nothing at an online
0:41
auction so maybe it was a bust but still
0:44
the excitement was high they arrived at
0:47
the gate and took the first steps on
0:48
their new property not much later the
0:50
terrain was rough and Tom immediately
0:53
saw that it needed much work but then
0:55
they noticed something they didn't
0:56
expect to see a structure stood in the
0:59
middle of the land a building they did
1:00
not see on the map they received after
1:02
the purchase it looked like an old rusty
1:05
shed henry walked around the worn down
1:07
building while Tom yanked at the two
1:09
large doors in the front "do you see
1:11
another way in?" "Because these main
1:13
doors are locked tightly," Tom asked his
1:16
brother henry walked around the corner
1:18
and shook his head this was the only way
1:20
in they looked at the heavy chain lock
1:22
connecting the two doors together "what
1:25
now?" Tom asked but Henry knew just how
1:28
to solve this problem "they were going
1:30
to break the lock open." Henry looked
1:32
around for something that could help
1:33
them and quickly found the solution to
1:35
their problem a steel pipe stuck out
1:38
between some rubble so he picked it up
1:39
and shoved it between the locks chains
1:42
tom took a few steps back wondering what
1:44
his brother was planning henry twisted
1:47
the pipe around several times and then
1:49
pulled as hard as possible the pipe
1:50
created a lever that would be strong
1:52
enough to break the chain and it worked
1:54
because after a couple of tries they
1:56
heard the sweet sound of a chain
1:58
bursting what do you think is inside tom
2:01
asked his brother with an excited look
2:03
on his face henry didn't know but he
2:05
shared the same enthusiasm they expected
2:08
some power tools but inside there waited
2:10
an immense secret the air inside was
2:13
warm and humid and it was too dark to
2:15
see anything properly so Henry and Tom
2:17
used their flashlights to look around it
2:20
became clear that this shed had not seen
2:22
the light of day in many years but there
2:24
was something in the back that piqued
2:26
their interest in the right corner of
2:28
the worn down building there were
2:30
multiple large boxes some with hanging
2:32
locks just like the shed had but smaller
2:35
the two brothers were fascinated they
2:37
felt like they were on some storage
2:39
hunter TV show ready to find some
2:41
treasure tom said smiling as they lifted
2:44
the boxes out into the open once outside
2:47
it was time to unlock their exciting
2:49
findings the boxes were old but the
2:51
details on them were intricate and
2:52
well-kept the boxes were filled with
2:55
documents a complex looking blueprint
2:57
and pictures of a man and his family
2:59
which didn't just look old they looked
3:01
ancient the people's clothing in the
3:03
picture was clearly not from a modern
3:05
era they saw black and white photos of a
3:08
man supporting a considerable mustache a
3:10
woman in a corset and a little girl
3:12
holding a creepy doll when Tom removed
3:14
all the files from the box he even found
3:16
what was left of the doll from the
3:18
picture "what is all this?" he said
3:20
staring at the doll "these must have
3:22
been the original owners of the land,"
3:24
Henry said in amazement they took
3:26
another good look at the stuff and then
3:28
something on the blueprint caught
3:29
Henry's attention he saw what appeared
3:31
to be the shed but it seemed to be part
3:33
of a much bigger house but what really
3:36
caught his attention was what was
3:37
scribbled in the corner the blueprint
3:39
was filled with perfectly straight lines
3:41
the drawings were so detailed and
3:43
precise that they must have taken months
3:45
to create but there was one detail that
3:47
was free flowing it was the signature of
3:49
the maker the initials read RS they were
3:53
encased in an upside down triangle and
3:55
something about it felt really familiar
3:57
to Henry they had to find out who it was
4:00
so the two brothers stepped into their
4:02
car and drove to the first place they
4:04
could think of the local library was the
4:07
first stop on their road to discovery it
4:09
held a vast collection of books about
4:10
the history of this town and the Wi-Fi
4:13
was way better here than back at home
4:15
the two brothers split up tasks and
4:17
searched for hours but unfortunately
4:19
their efforts seemed feudal because they
4:21
didn't find anything about the
4:22
mysterious RS they needed to find
4:24
another way to find out more with no
4:27
other option left the brothers agreed
4:29
they needed outside help maybe someone
4:31
in this town knew more about RS and the
4:34
land they had bought so they decided to
4:36
place an ad in the regional newspaper
4:38
asking for help in their search for the
4:40
mysterious RS then the wait began and it
4:44
was a long one for almost 2 months there
4:48
was nothing but dead silence but then
4:51
one day early in the morning the phone
4:53
in Tom's house rang it was 6:15:00
4:56
and it was still dark outside who called
4:59
at this hour tom wondered slightly
5:02
irritated he picked up the phone and on
5:04
the other end a man answered tom was
5:07
surprised to hear the man was a
5:08
historian the historian explained that
5:10
he called because of the ad "i am
5:12
convinced I can help you," he said tom
5:15
was speechless he couldn't believe what
5:17
he just heard after two long months of
5:19
waiting they finally got a new lead
5:22
about the mysterious RS person tom just
5:25
had to tell his brother in person so
5:27
without a moment of hesitation he put on
5:29
his clothes jumped into his car and
5:32
drove over to his brother's house it was
5:35
6:45 when he rang Henry's doorbell over
5:38
and over again eventually Henry opened
5:41
the front door with a sleepy face but
5:43
his eyes lit up once Tom explained why
5:45
he was there what are we waiting for
5:47
let's go henry shouted as he put on his
5:49
coat the two men got the car and drove
5:51
to the historian's workplace at the same
5:54
time Tom explained that the historian
5:56
did not only have a name but also lots
5:58
of other files that would interest them
6:00
once at the workshop of the historian
6:02
the two brothers were greeted by an
6:04
elderly man they did not waste any time
6:07
and asked their most burning question
6:09
who was RS the old man told the brothers
6:12
that the man they were looking for was
6:13
named Robert Stevenson the original
6:16
owner of the land stevenson that is also
6:19
our last name," Henry said in awe later
6:22
they would find out that this was no
6:24
coincidence the historian told them that
6:27
Robert Stevenson was the wealthiest man
6:29
in town maybe even the entire region and
6:32
that he lived back in the 19th century
6:34
but besides his birth year and status
6:37
little was known about him that caused
6:38
the historian to be so fascinated by RS
6:41
and that's why he spent years of his
6:43
life studying the mysterious man and
6:45
they would soon find more intriguing
6:47
things about him the historian looked at
6:49
the stuff the brothers brought with them
6:51
and noticed there was a blueprint he
6:53
grabbed it and carefully looked at it
6:55
"i've got one of these as well," he said
6:57
in a soft voice henry and Tom turned
7:00
around and looked at the old man with
7:01
big eyes "a second blueprint what could
7:04
be on there would it give new
7:06
information?" Tons of questions plagued
7:08
their minds after scrambling around in
7:10
his closet for a few minutes the old man
7:12
pulled out a large sheet of paper the
7:15
brothers waited in anticipation and soon
7:17
saw it was a blueprint of their land
7:19
with a layout of the house in the center
7:21
of it it even had the same initials RS
7:24
at the bottom right corner yet something
7:27
was different it was a perfect copy of
7:29
theirs except for one detail henry was
7:32
the first to spot the difference "don't
7:34
you see it?" Henry asked while Tom and
7:36
the historian still stared at the paper
7:38
blindly he grabbed the blueprint from
7:40
the historian's hand and put one over
7:42
the other and as he held the stacked
7:44
pieces of paper to the light the others
7:46
gasped the historian's blueprint was
7:48
missing a room it was the exact spot
7:50
where their shed stood "oh god you are
7:54
right." The historian said he told the
7:57
men that after Robert Stevenson's death
8:00
all traces of his life seemed to have
8:02
vanished "his guess was that this secret
8:05
room which lay in the exact location of
8:07
the shed might have something to do with
8:09
it." The brothers looked at each other
8:11
with a hopeful look were they on to
8:13
something was their shed more than just
8:15
an old building there was no time to
8:17
lose so Tom and Henry quickly thanked
8:21
the old man and told him they would keep
8:23
in touch if they found something within
8:25
minutes both brothers were back in the
8:27
car on their way to the land and the
8:29
shed they bought tom and Henry stood in
8:32
the center of the shed and looked around
8:34
the brothers opened every cabinet and
8:35
flipped every object upside down but
8:38
they found nothing henry sighed tom was
8:41
still searching fervently hoping to find
8:43
some clue about the past room that stood
8:45
here while Henry paced around the sounds
8:48
of his footsteps were dull due to the
8:50
layer of dirt on top of the wooden
8:51
planks until they weren't henry was so
8:54
deep in thought that he didn't realize
8:56
it but eventually he noticed his
8:58
footsteps sometimes sounded hollow
8:59
instead he stomped his foot on the
9:02
ground to check a dull thus was heard
9:05
henry felt a surge of disappointment go
9:07
through his body did he make things up
9:09
he was sure he heard a strange sound
9:11
while walking after moving a few times
9:14
the hollow sound was heard they looked
9:16
at each other i think there was a hollow
9:18
space underneath here said Henry
9:20
eventually disbelief drenched his voice
9:23
"could this be the secret room was it
9:25
below their feet this whole time?" "Help
9:27
me," he said as he stomped around to
9:29
find out how big the space beneath was
9:31
tom and Henry shared a look and didn't
9:33
have to say anything to each other they
9:35
crouched down and started digging away
9:37
the dirt vigorously come on faster this
9:40
is it henry shouted enthusiastically
9:43
"we're almost there i can feel it,"
9:45
Henry shouted again after 15 minutes of
9:47
digging Henry and Tom uncovered a wooden
9:50
hatch "i knew it," Henry whispered
9:53
wiping away the last dirt they pulled at
9:56
the handle but it wouldn't budge until
9:58
they noticed the rusted hinges with
10:01
effort it creaked open revealing a dark
10:04
hole and a ladder disappearing into
10:06
blackness "hello," Tom called his voice
10:10
echoing below "no answer." Henry climbed
10:13
down first the wooden steps groaning
10:15
under him "okay I'm down," he called as
10:18
he stepped forward into the dark a
10:20
sudden noise made him freeze "what now?"
10:23
Tom's voice echoed from above then Henry
10:26
sparked a lighter just enough light to
10:28
spot an old oil lamp by some miracle it
10:31
still worked to their shock the space
10:34
wasn't a basement but a well-kept
10:36
dustcovered living room teacups plates
10:39
and old photos lay on the coffee table
10:42
one photo stopped Henry cold it's
10:45
Stevenson he gasped the historian's
10:48
legend was true this was the lost room
10:50
of Robert Stevenson they searched for
10:53
more clues but found only dust until
10:55
Henry recognized a photo that matched a
10:57
large oil painting on the wall as they
11:00
studied the portrait Tom noticed
11:02
something uncanny stevenson shared their
11:04
last name and features could he be
11:07
family thinking the painting hid
11:09
something they removed it only to find a
11:11
blank brick wall nothing or maybe not
11:14
yet disappointed the brothers rehung the
11:17
painting until Henry noticed a scraped
11:19
corner "look!" he shouted running his
11:22
finger along the damaged edge behind the
11:24
frame something was hidden tom leaned in
11:27
trying to reach it but it wouldn't budge
11:29
desperate Henry broke the frame a small
11:32
antique key fell to the floor and then
11:35
an envelope the letter inside claimed
11:37
only the true heir of Robert Stevenson
11:39
could find it inherit the family
11:41
treasure shocked the brothers studied it
11:44
a clue hinted the treasure was kept safe
11:47
accessible only by his heir suddenly
11:50
Henry had a hunch he rushed to the
11:52
cabinet and began fiddling with the
11:54
drawers guided by their shared initials
11:57
when he closed the final drawer a loud
11:59
click echoed through the room the
12:01
cabinet wasn't just furniture it was a
12:03
hidden door with effort they moved it
12:06
revealing a locked chest the key fit
12:09
perfectly inside they found gold coins
12:12
and ancient documents evidence of a
12:14
longlost legacy overwhelmed they packed
12:17
the chest and headed to the historian
12:19
eager for answers but unsure what came
12:21
next would they be allowed to keep the
12:23
treasure the historian was stunned he
12:26
eagerly examined the old documents which
12:28
revealed Robert Stevenson's legacy and
12:30
confirmed the brothers were his rightful
12:32
heirs the gold was theirs henry and Tom
12:36
overwhelmed wanted to honor their
12:38
ancestor using Stevenson's original
12:40
blueprints they spent years building a
12:43
home modeled after his design complete
12:45
with a hidden room but they didn't stop
12:48
there next to their house they built a
12:50
small museum showcasing the documents
12:52
artifacts and their story the historian
12:55
agreed to manage it and it quickly
12:57
became a beloved local attraction
12:59
celebrating Stevenson's legacy and the
13:01
brother's discovery years passed and the
13:04
property grew into a shared family home
13:06
what began as a land purchase had
13:08
transformed their lives it wasn't just a
13:11
homit was a bridge between generations
13:13
built on history love and a treasure
