Edith could not believe her eyes when
0:01
she accidentally fell against the wall
0:03
in the basement. She had hurt herself,
0:06
but she didn't care because her fall
0:08
unlocked a wall-mounted hidden door. She
0:10
had never known that door was there, and
0:12
she was filled with excitement and
0:14
curiosity about what could be behind
0:16
that wall. But as soon as she walked
0:17
through that door, her excitement gave
0:19
way to fear. This can't be true. Edith
0:22
couldn't believe her eyes.
0:24
Where a brick wall just stood had now
0:26
turned into an opening.
0:27
She had only seen things like this in
0:29
movies, so it seemed very surreal. The
0:31
room was dark and dusty,
0:34
and there were boxes everywhere. Edith
0:36
carefully stepped inside and turned on
0:37
the light.
0:39
The boxes were covered [music] in a
0:40
thick layer of dust.
0:42
So, Edith figured there hadn't been
0:43
anyone inside for a very long time. She
0:46
grabbed one of the boxes and brushed off
0:48
the dust only to reveal the box was
0:50
labeled with her husband's initials.
0:53
What was going on here?
0:55
Edith quickly opened the box and
0:56
couldn't believe her eyes. How could her
0:58
husband do this to her? He had lied to
1:00
her for all these years. There was only
1:03
one thing left to do. But what was
1:05
George hiding from his wife?
1:07
And will Edith confront him about it?
1:09

stories. George was always a little
1:19
strange, but that was one of the things
1:21
Edith loved about her husband. He had a
1:23
unique view of the world and often got
1:25
her out of her comfort [music] zone.
1:27
They had lived a good life with each
1:28
other, and she truly felt like she knew
1:30
her husband inside out. But one can
1:32
never truly [music] know someone else,
1:34
and that was about to come to light.
1:36
Edith and George had sold their house to
1:37
downsize to a smaller apartment.
1:40
They were both retired and didn't feel
1:42
the need to live in a huge house
1:43
anymore. But while Edith packed up the
1:45
attic, she noticed something she had
1:47
never seen before. The attic was filled
1:49
with boxes upon boxes,
1:51
and against the back wall of the attic
1:52
stood a big wooden closet.
1:55
Edith first cleared out everything on
1:57
the floor
1:58
and then focused on the closet.
2:01
But there was one problem she couldn't
2:02
seem to solve since she was all alone at
2:04
the moment.
2:05
The closet was huge and heavy
2:08
and George wasn't home. So, there was no
2:10
way she could get it downstairs without
2:12
either breaking her back or breaking the
2:14
closet.
2:15
So, she began pulling the closet away
2:17
from the wall to see if she could
2:19
unscrew it.
2:20
But noticed something very strange.
2:22
There was a slight draft coming from
2:24
behind the closet.
2:25
But when Edith looked behind it, she saw
2:27
only bricks.
2:29
So, where could this draft be coming
2:30
from?
2:32
But then, she remembered something.
2:34
She quickly walked downstairs [music]
2:36
and into her front lawn. And when she
2:38
looked up, she gasped.
2:40
How could this be? There was a tiny
2:42
window where the attic should be, but
2:44
there was no window in the wall behind
2:45
the closet.
2:47
Edith was puzzled.
2:49
Was this window just for looks? She
2:51
quickly ran back up the stairs again and
2:52
went straight [music] to the attic. She
2:54
put the side of her head and both hands
2:56
against the cold bricks.
2:58
She could now clearly feel a cold draft
3:00
coming through the bricks.
3:02
Edith wondered how that could be
3:03
possible. She got real close and
3:05
inspected every inch of the wall. She
3:07
brushed her fingers over one specific
3:09
brick when something happened.
3:11
Suddenly, Edith heard a loud click
3:14
and something started to move.
3:16
It was a piece of the wall. The wall
3:18
moved forward like a door and suddenly
3:20
an opening appeared. Edith couldn't
3:22
believe her eyes.
3:24
She had only seen things like this in
3:26
movies and never imagined finding this
3:28
in her own home. She wanted to show
3:30
George, but had no idea when he would be
3:32
home and her curiosity was too big.
3:35
So, Edith stepped inside. The space was
3:38
dark with only a small beam of light
3:40
coming through the small window. Edith
3:42
knew there was no way she could see
3:44
anything if she wouldn't find a light
3:45
switch, so she returned to the attic and
3:47
searched for her flashlight first. Then,
3:50
she re-entered the room and turned on
3:51
the light.
3:53
Dust covered the boxes inside the space.
3:55
And Edith figured it had been a long
3:57
time since anyone had been inside. She
3:59
took a few steps forward and chose one
4:01
box to open first.
4:04
She brushed the dust off the top of the
4:05
D
4:06
box, but was shocked to read what it was
4:08
labeled as.
4:09
The box was labeled as GH, which were
4:12
her husband's initials for George. Could
4:14
this be a coincidence? Or could he have
4:16
known about this hidden space all along?
4:18
She was about to open the box when she
4:20
heard her husband's car pull up on the
4:21
driveway.
4:23
Edith didn't hesitate and quickly got
4:25
out and closed the secret door.
4:27
Her heart was pounding in her chest. She
4:30
didn't want George to know she had found
4:31
the secret room because she wanted to
4:33
see for herself what he had been hiding
4:35
from her.
4:36
Edith dusted off her clothes and walked
4:38
downstairs as if nothing had happened.
4:40
This was about to be a long evening.
4:43
Luckily, George had no clue about what
4:45
Edith had found in the attic. And when
4:47
the evening finally came to an end, and
4:49
they both went to bed,
4:51
Edith felt like she could breathe again.
4:53
All she had to do now was find a way to
4:55
get her husband out of the house
4:56
tomorrow.
4:57
But she already had an idea of how to
4:59
make that happen.
5:00
The next day, Edith asked her husband if
5:02
he wanted to run some errands for her.
5:04
She made a list of very hard to find
5:06
items and sent him on his way. He
5:08
wouldn't be home for a few hours, she
5:09
thought. As soon as his car was just a
5:12
little dot on the horizon,
5:14
Edith opened the secret door and went
5:15
inside the room. She grabbed the same
5:17
box she had in her hands yesterday and
5:19
carefully opened the lid.
5:21
The box was filled with letters and
5:23
other documents. Numbers and various
5:25
amounts were printed on the papers, but
5:27
Edith had no idea what it all meant.
5:29
Did he keep his bookkeeping in here?
5:31
After searching through other boxes
5:33
marked with his initials,
5:35
Edith's eyes fell on a big iron safe
5:37
tucked away in the corner.
5:39
The safe was black
5:41
and too heavy for her to lift. So, she
5:44
got down on the ground and tried to open
5:46
the safe, but it was locked with a big
5:48
padlock.
5:49
Hours flew by and before she knew it,
5:52
she heard her husband return home.
5:54
"Shit." Edith thought. She was so busy
5:56
trying to pick the lock that she had
5:58
forgotten the track of time.
6:00
She hadn't even started dinner yet. So
6:02
now, George was going to ask her what
6:04
she had been doing all day.
6:07
Edith quickly closed everything up and
6:09
headed into the garden to pretend she
6:10
had been working there all day. It felt
6:12
wrong to lie to her husband of 50-plus
6:14
years, but she had to do it. It wasn't
6:17
as if he had been truly honest with her
6:18
this whole time.
6:20
Otherwise, he would have told her about
6:21
the secret room. To Edith's surprise,
6:24
George didn't ask [music] her what she
6:25
had been doing all day. He just said he
6:27
would continue packing until dinner
6:29
would be ready.
6:30
Edith agreed and quickly began cooking.
6:33
She was nervous George would go to the
6:34
secret room and realize she had been in
6:37
there today.
6:38
"What is he doing?" After a few minutes,
6:41
she heard loud rumbling noises coming
6:42
from the attic.
6:44
"Shit." Edith thought.
6:46
"Could he be inside the room?" The
6:48
noises continued and only stopped when
6:50
she called for her husband to come
6:51
downstairs to eat. During dinner, she
6:54
could clearly see her husband had
6:56
something on his mind.
6:57
George didn't say a word during dinner
7:00
and when they were both finished, he
7:02
quickly cleaned up his plate and went
7:03
upstairs again. Edith hurried and
7:05
cleaned the kitchen before she followed
7:07
her husband upstairs to see what he had
7:09
been doing.
7:10
But when she came upstairs, she noticed
7:12
something that shocked her. Edith saw
7:14
that her husband had taken everything
7:16
out of the secret room and laid it all
7:17
bare on the attic floor.
7:20
The safe was also opened and she could
7:22
now clearly see what was inside. It was
7:24
filled with golden jewelry and wads of
7:26
cash. She immediately confronted her
7:28
husband, but his reaction wasn't as she
7:30
expected.
7:32
George told his wife that he had stolen
7:34
everything when he was only 17 years
7:35
young. He hadn't met Edith yet and
7:38
deeply regretted what he had done. That
7:40
is why he had never spent the money.
7:43
Edith was heartbroken.
7:45
She thought she knew her husband,
7:47
but apparently,
7:48
she didn't.
7:50
Edith and George both decided it was
7:52
best to go to the police. George turned
7:54
himself in and was able to get a plea
7:56
deal. He spent some time doing community
7:58
work and spent the rest of his life
8:00
bettering himself.
8:01
Edith stayed by her husband's side the
8:03
whole time,
8:05
and they worked on their relationship.
8:07
The end.
