This strange discovery appears like it might be the start of a horror film. Pat and Diane Farla were hosting a Good Friday party in Shropshire, England when one of them made the decision to finally peek behind the six-foot-long rectangular plate on their wall. They had owned the house for three years, but—believe it or not—they had never looked behind there. They found a hole after removing the plate that led them to a tiny, underground chapel. The fact that the cellar-like structure contained pews and a cross indicated that it was religious in nature. Authorities think that congregations fleeing religious persecution during one of England’s many religious wars may have used this underground chapel centuries ago.
