In 1953, a man had just moved into a new apartment in London, and as soon as he went inside he decided he wanted to renovate. So he started by pulling down all the wallpaper in the kitchen. And as he's doing it he makes his way into the kitchen pantry and he pulls off one particular strip of wallpaper and he sees behind the wallpaper towards the bottom of the wall is a door, there's a secret door behind the wallpaper. So he gets down and he rips off more of the wallpaper, and then he grabs the little handle and pulls the door open. What he sees inside of this little room was not only horrifying and would scar him for life, but, the contents of this secret room would change the legal system in the United Kingdom forever.The audio from this story has been pulled from our main YouTube channel, which is just called “MrBallen,” and has been remastered for today’s podcast.Story name, preview & link to original YouTube video:#1 -- "The Secret Room" -- A renter discovers a small door behind the wallpaper (Original YouTube link -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXRrzmh8DTk)For 100s more stories like this one, check out our main YouTube channel just called "MrBallen" -- https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallenIf you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @mrballenSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
