Couple find old polaroids and clothes stuffed in walls while renovating haunted 150-year-old home

A couple is baffled after making a series of eerie discoveries while renovating their “haunted” 150-year-old home.

Cassidy Casale and Eton Merritt, of Ontario, Canada, bought their home in March 2022 for approximately $455,000 and immediately began gutting the property.

The couple, both 24, soon stumbled upon a number of items stashed in the walls, including old one-and-a-half quarter coupons and a Pepsi can from the 1970s.

But things later took a more sinister turn after they discovered clothes crammed into the walls, Polaroid photos from the year they were born, and even a handful of bones.

Cassidy and Eton have gained more than 41,000 followers on TikTok by sharing their progress with the houseflip.

In a clip, titled “things we found in our 150-year-old house,” the pair showed off the grisly discoveries they’ve made since their reservation began.

They begin by uncovering sheets of old newspapers from 1962 taped under the floorboards, before also revealing a number of Polaroid photos taken the year the couple were born.

And the finds didn’t stop there, with a one-of-a-kind reflection glass and a vintage wooden board emblazoned with the words ‘Senorita’.

Social media users were mesmerized by the items and the video quickly gained over 323,000 views and over 17,200 likes.

The response encouraged Cassidy and Eton to post a follow-up video revealing their other discoveries — but this time, the findings were a little more sinister.

It started with innocuous items like a broken sardine can from 1890 and a handful of 1.

5 coupons from 1964.

Then they found a TV guide from 1963 that featured old programs like the American sitcom Petticoat Junction, an American drama series titled Sam Benedict and a documentary called ‘INDIA’.

And as if it couldn’t get any crazier, in another clip the duo discovered a collection of bones hidden among the rubble.

The findings sparked a series of wild conspiracy theories from social media users, but were later identified as belonging to a swan, raccoon and a number of other rodents

But then the couple found bundles of clothes hidden and crammed into the corner of the wall.

And as if it couldn’t get any crazier, the duo discovered in another fragment a collection of bones hidden among the rubble.

The findings sparked a series of wild conspiracy theories from social media users.

One wrote: ‘Why did someone put clothes IN THE WALL??

Murder covered up?’

Another added: “Well, this might explain why clothes were hidden in the wall…”

And a third commented, “OMG imagine this solves a missing person mystery from 1960.”

However, despite widespread speculation, the bones were later identified as belonging to a swan, raccoon, and a number of other rodents.

Speaking of the project, high-rise developer Cassidy said, “While it may not have been our first choice, it has been a great adventure so far.

“Eton and I do all the work ourselves while working full-time, so we don’t go super fast, but we spend every night and weekend working.”

She concluded: ‘We loved the quirky features of the old house and knew we could work with its charm to make it great.

“Old houses throw a lot of curve balls that you can’t plan for until you start tearing down walls and get really deep into them.”
