An underground surprise
Behind the bookshelf sits a clandestine trap door that hides a secret room. Hidden away from prying eyes underground, the concrete bunker is the perfect prepper space with stocks of food, a working television, a comfortable sofa and even camping supplies should you need to make a quick escape in an emergency.
A home office with a secret
TikTok user Mollie Trainor always wanted a secret room, so her dream came true when she saw what was hiding behind this ordinary-looking bookshelf. Filled with ornaments and books, it looks more like a handy storage space than the entrance to a secret room.
A home office with a secret
A closer inspection of the bookshelf and a light push on one of the panels opens a door that leads through to a secret cinema room complete with sleek hardwood floors, a projector and comfy chairs. Could this be the best home office setup ever?
An unexpected amenity
With a gentle push, the middle shelf reveals a whole new lavish world. The perfect place to escape disaster, or even just to get some respite from the working day, hidden in the home office is a secret luxury apartment, that boasts a marble entrance floor and much more.

Pass through the hallway and you are greeted by multiple storage areas that lead through to a plush living room with reinforced doors, that will keep you safe should disaster strike. There's also a fully-stocked ensuite bathroom that will rival any mega-mansion with double sinks and a sleek black bathtub.
A historic discovery
When TikTok user bearder1 stumbled across a surprise room in their new house, they teased the big reveal with their followers. Hidden behind a door in a spooky room, just a piece of wood hid the secret from the world. On getting enough views on his first video, it was time to reveal what lay in the depths of the house.
A historic discovery
Underneath the wooden panel, the concrete stairs that led down to a bunker were revealed. The floor was scattered with treasures including old coins that had been left on the floor. There were also old wine bottles and a metal flask from 1916. However, there were still more surprises to come...
A historic discovery
Hidden away in the corner of the bunker was also a chest. Dusty and old the explorer managed to open it to discover what was inside. Deep in the depths sat a trap, some more money and a wallet containing badges from the Yugoslav army. A home with a history, we can't help but wonder who used to live in the hideout.
A secret outside spot
A grand hallway with sweeping stairs, opulent marble floors and a chandelier, this entrance could belong in any mega-mansion. Whilst we are sure it's full of jaw-dropping amenities, TikTok user Giovanni Vasquez revealed a surprise that's hidden away upstairs.

A clandestine time warp
The manhole had been hidden by this 400lb (181kg) mid-century sideboard, which was shifted by Jennifer's husband. Once the manhole cover was lifted away, it revealed a damp and dark space. It was time to delve down into the depths to take a look at what was sitting under the house.

A clandestine time warp
Once down there, it was revealed that a whole 1950s bunker was hidden under the home. Long left abandoned, the bunker was falling apart and filled with dust and rubble and no longer weather-proof. It had two bunk beds and even an old urinal with hooks sticking out from one of the walls.

Jennifer and her husband also found a dry storage space for food but built separately to the secure part of the bunker, which means that anyone hiding inside would have to leave the shelter to get their food.
