Guy Asks The Internet To Help Identify A Hole That Appeared In His Garden, Probably Wishes He Didn’t
Growing up many of us dreamed to be treasure hunters, or at least to find a box full of fortune in our backyard. Even though most of us didn’t succeed, there is still a small part of us that wishes we might find something peculiar some day.
Well, one man took the Internet to share some pictures of a mysterious hole that he found in the middle of his backyard. After taking a closer look he soon realized there is a layer of bricks inside the hole so he quickly started digging. At first, he couldn’t understand what it is, but then the hole turned out to be an actual 4 feet wide chamber. So, he took some pictures and shared them online asking people, what this mysterious chamber might be? Does it have an interesting story behind it? Maybe, it’s an old teleportation chamber used by witches? Should he be worried? The one thing he found there was a small button, but it didn’t help to answer the main question – what is this chamber?
Soon enough the Internet came to the rescue, but the answer was probably not what he wished it would be. I guess it’s time to move to another mysterious hole because this one is rather… crappy.
Scroll down to find out what was actually hiding in that peculiar hole!

well, well, well... it's not a well as they usually have water running underneath or through the bottom. I would imagine as it leads from the house, it'll be where all the toilet waste went, ready for collection. You wouldn't want it too close to your house, hence the distance. It'd be a s****y job, but somebody had to do it...

Yes..Usually if it is a well, there would be evidence of something over the pit that was used to bring up water. And a pipe running from the house will not result in water going from a well to the house unless A) the well is a couple of feet above and away from the house or B) there is evidence of a pump system there. I believe they found the holding tank for the crapper.

I compared pictures of old septic tanks and drywells, and my conclusion is that it is not possible to tell merely from these pictures. It is probably less than 150 years old, though -- definitely not ancient. Also, the person who said that he may get bubonic plague from it is wrong. Yersinia pestis can live in the soil for about a month under ideal conditions, typically only about a day or so.
