Florida real estate agent discovers terrifying dungeon in home that was listed for sale
A Florida real estate agent has revealed a creepy dungeon beneath a house for sale, insisting she has never seen anything like it before.
Jessica Law posted the video of her walking through the house and opening a white door.
Viewers can see a lattice-like iron door that opens to a staircase leading to the ‘dungeon’.
Law explained, “It’s an iron door with a swinging latch that leads to an underground chamber.”
The creator says in the video that the original house was built in 1958.
As she walks down the stairs, viewers can see a white concrete room with a functional water system, electricity and a dehumidifier.
They may also notice a multi-colored rug and a red sofa in the corner.

Law asks in the video what people think the room was used for and if they would want to stay there.
The TikTok community quickly began to respond and came up with their own theories – both positive and terrifying.
One user said the room was a nuclear weapons bunker because the door latch is on the inside and also wrap concrete walls that help with the initial radiation exposure (can’t go around the corner). we have one in our basement (without a security door).”
Another joked: ‘Just a bomb shelter. See if the door handle is on the side.’
One user went a fictional route, writing, “That’s a werewolf den for full moons! I have one in my house too,” while another said what everyone feared: “It’s a torture chamber.”
A concerned user also wrote: ‘Safe room. For post-apocalyptic purposes.’

This house is just one of many that have appeared on TikTok following the discovery of a secret room.
New York-based content creator Mystee Ipong had posted a TikTok series documenting her journey to finding a ‘random room in’ [her] cellar that is closed [her] 200 year old house.’
She “noticed there was a leak” with “water coming up” from a mysterious place in the basement, and her plumbers told her she had to tear down the wall so they could find the broken pipe causing the damage.
In a series of videos, Mystee’s husband, Ken, is shown trying to open the wall in their “creepy basement” as she explains the “interesting history” she discovered over time to her followers.
Mystee told her viewers that there was new stone “covering an entire room and you can even see the doorway around it.”
Her goal was to find out what was in the “creepy room that was blocked off.”

She later admitted that she had been down a “rabbit hole,” saying that because the couple lived “just outside of Rochester,” she knew there were “some ties to the Underground Railroad.”
Mystee explained that famous abolitionist Harriet Tubman was once in Rochester because it was one of the places where enslaved people stopped on their journey to freedom and Frederick Douglass owned a home in the city.
However, she wasn’t sure if there were any ties to her specific city.
The house was owned by Lucy Jane Blodgett, whom she knew because they had purchased the original lithographs for the house online.
Mystee also looked up Clarkson and the Underground Railroad and discovered that there was a well-known station eight minutes away.
She emphasized that the distance is only half a mile from her home, which she found interesting.
Once she knew the name of the home’s owner, she started searching for the last name and eventually found someone “who posted on a lot of different discussion boards about having a great-great-uncle who was part of the Underground Railroad.”
His name was John Blodgett and after checking his parentage, she discovered that he was indeed the great-grandson of Lucy herself.
The couple also discovered through the historic district that there was a mill nearby and that part of it had been preserved.

Mystee posted a fourth follow-up video showing the mill and confirmed there was a ‘tunnel running underneath’ and she believed it was ‘protected’
The mill was only 100 meters from her house, so they went to have a look.
She told viewers that she had contacted both John and the Historic Society in an attempt to get more information.
Mystee posted a fourth follow-up video showing the mill and confirmed that there was a “tunnel running underneath” and she believed it was “protected.”
She also discovered that one of the descendants of one of the house’s previous owners was related to a “fairly prominent family” within their village and that they “have a preserved house closer to the village center.”
Mystee admitted that she was “super interested in the history” and that this had been the highlight of purchasing the house.
