Simon Marks, a 37-year-old man, made an interesting discovery. Stated differently, he’s been living in the same house for a long, but he just recently came to terms with the fact that he didn’t know what was hidden in the house he’d bought a few years earlier.
One day, while trying to park his car, he came upon what he believed to be a flowerbed. The wheels on his car got stuck, and he heard strange cracking noises coming from the driveway.
“Well, this day couldn’t get any worse,” he thought to himself.
When Marks knelt down to look into the issue more thoroughly, he saw that the driver had given way because the stones in the driveway had broken. An astounding discovery was made audibly by the sound of the pavers shattering.
Once all the dirt had been removed, he discovered a piece of metal underneath. Uncertain of what might be beneath the driveway, Marks grabbed onto the metal piece and tried unsuccessfully to pull it out. Then he turned back to investigate the mysterious object further.
He didn’t know what to do next, so he called his father for help. When they worked together, they were able to clear away a significant amount of dense muck, eventually exposing an aperture. Curious to explore where the rusty, rusting ladder would lead them, the two men climbed down.
“My dad saw it and knew right away that it was an air raid shelter,” Marks remembered.”We found that there are a lot in this area after browsing on Google.”
It appeared that the shelter they discovered in Marks’ garden was built during World War II.
As per Marks, “the previous owner had to have been aware of its existence and had to have filled it in during the construction of the house and garden.”
These shelters were designed to protect civilians from bombing during the conflict. They are said to have been invented by a man named Sir John Anderson.
Bricks have been used to close off a wall. We don’t know, but I’m 99 percent positive that we won’t find any more chambers. According to Marks, they might have bricked up one of the walls to create way for the foundations when the house was built.”If that’s the case, we’ll just have to leave it,” he said.
His discovery was caught on tape, and his story quickly spread throughout the world.
Marks and his father plan to renovate the shelter because they view it as an important historical landmark. They argue that although if that period of history is behind us, it shouldn’t be disregarded because it offers us a window into earlier eras.
After 10 years, mother returns to the abandoned home where she had left her one-year-old kid and discovers something that makes her cry
Over ten years ago, something terrible happened in Yaroslavl, a Russian City.
One day quite some time ago, a neighbor heard that a baby was crying in a house not far away, but at the time he didn’t think about it a whole lot and went back to his daily life.
In the days that proceeded, he noticed that the baby continued to cry inconsolably, even though no one had seen any signs of life from the house, there were never lights on or any sign of activity at all.
The neighbors really started to worry and called the police to investigate.
When the police got into the house it was derelict and empty, the people who had lived there before had taken all their things, cleared the house, and disappeared.
The only thing that was left in the house was their own little baby, how awful!
The little girl was one year old and they found her on a dirty cold floor all on her own for many days!!
The authorities investigated further and discovered that the baby was called Liza Verbitskaya, although her parents were nowhere to be seen, in fact, no one could find them or knew where they were.
Little Liza was taken to a doctor and she recovered in the hospital for a good number of days to make sure she really was nursed back to health after her ordeal.
While she was in the hospital there was a woman called Inna Nika, she was there looking after her sick son and was there day and night.
One particular day she happened to hear a scream from the hospital room next door and had a look inside the room, out of curiosity and concern, to see what was going on. Little Liza was there in the room and Inna felt a maternal pull toward the little girl.
From that day forth, Inna visited Liza every day and came with clothes, food and toys for her.
Inna was about to visit Liza one day, like every other day, but Liza was not there, she had gone. She found out that the little girl was thought to be strong enough to be released from care at the hospital to an orphanage.
Inna felt so empty and really yearned to be reunited with the little girl again, so much so that she made the decision to go and find her!
When she did find her she felt that there was no doubt in her mind, she wanted to adopt the little girl. Inna began the adoption process as soon as she could and after a lot of paperwork Liza was given permission to live with Inna and her family, where she loved her like one of her own.
When Inna adopted Liza, with the paperwork and delays, she was nearly two. She was so afraid of loud noises she couldn’t chew food! She had been very traumatized…
Inna was more determined than ever to give the little girl the ware and love that she had always needed and her dark times were clearly in the past.
Liza found it difficult to learn to walk, but as she got older Inna joined her with a dance school, she hoped that she would become more comfortable in herself and it would bring her out of her shell.
Exactly why, nobody will be 100% sure, but with all the love and the care she received from her adopted mom, it wasn’t long before Liza bloomed like another girl of her age.
Liza was really dark skinned unlike her siblings and stuck out like a sore thumb, it really was not easy as she began to grow up. Inna always said to her daughter that she should never listen to others as they are easily driven by jealousy.
The now teenage Liza has won several beauty contests, many talents show and worked her first job as a fashion model. Such an amazing contrast to how her life started and how she has succeeded!
