What secret treasure did you uncover when you first moved into a new place?

0:05.9

My house has a two-person jacuzzi tub with mirrors on three walls around it. When I was looking

0:11.0

at the house, there was a four-poster canopy bed with a mirror inside the canopy. Needless to say,

0:16.3

the previous owner had his thing. When I was moving in, I found a basement with a bar with cuffs on either end

0:22.4

hanging from the ceiling and two eye bolts in a board on the floor that would have made this a perfect

0:27.4

place to tie someone up for some more alternative fun. I strongly suspect that this is what it was

0:32.8

used for. I have a room that used to be a bar. The previous owner took the bar itself with him, despite

0:38.3

it being built in. It has a dropped ceiling, and the lights are above with clear panels to let

0:43.3

the light through. I was moving ceiling tiles to change a bulb, and I got hit in the face by what

0:47.8

I'm guessing was a homemade adult bedroom swing that was bolted to the rafters above. I've

0:53.3

1:11.8

actually switch anything in the house on. What do you do, you mysterious switch? When will you stop

1:17.3

taunting me and give up your secrets? I bet it turns the TV on enough at the neighbor's apartment.

1:23.5

Not my house, but the school my friend worked at. A pipe had leaked and ruined a wall in a building,

1:29.0

one of the oldest schools in the city. It was a beautiful property. Anyway, the pipe leaked, so they

1:34.0

pulled down the ruined wall, and behind the wall they found a door. A fully furnished apartment

1:38.6

was in there. It had a coal-burning stove to heat it, early 1900s appliances and decor. It was for the caretaker of the

1:46.1

school. We have the side room next to some stairs. While we were moving stuff into the room,
