One of the craziest things about buying a new house is learning about the home’s history. Realtors are usually pretty knowledgeable when it comes to the homes they’re selling, but they don’t always know everything. That’s why it’s important to do some digging if you’re really serious about purchasing a house. If you don’t, you could be in for some nasty surprises.

Just ask this family. They didn’t think it’d be necessary to explore every inch of their new home before they bought it, so they didn’t know any of its secrets until later. While walking around in the basement, one family member discovered a secret room. What that room was holding shocked these homeowners more than the space itself.

Before heading upstairs, a strange wooden panel caught the new occupant’s eye. He’d never noticed that board before.

That’s when he decided to investigate.

He quickly figured out that this piece of wood was hiding a secret room.

He decided to explore the hidden space.

As it turns out, the room was a bunker of sorts.

And it was full of gun cases.

After getting over the initial shock of the guns, he noticed that there was a safe in one corner.

Oh, and there was some ammunition to go with those firearms.

The previous owner really didn’t want to run out of bullets.

Okay, this is just excessive.

But wait…

…there’s more!

For real?

Come on!

When he checked the gun cases, he found that almost all of them were empty.

That’s a little unsettling.

The only gun left was an air rifle, and those can’t do much damage.

He also found a ridiculous stash of pennies.

Oh, and there was a grenade.

This could have gone one of two ways. Luckily, the grenade was a dud.

Imagine finding all of that stuff in your house! That had to be totally insane. Let’s just hope that those guns aren’t stashed somewhere else.
