11. MERRILYN COLLECTION
According to legend, in 2006, a London basement beneath a former orphanage was found to contain a thousands of skeletons and other macabre items that became famously known as the Merrilyn Collection. The story claims that the bizarre objects once belonged to an eccentric man named Thomas Theodore Merrilyn who, according to the official Merrilyn Cryptid Museum website, was a “crypto-naturalist, fringe zoologist and xeno-archaeologist.”

10. LOST GRANDFATHER
A family known as the Carrolls spent months digging for their long, lost grandfather’s body before finding it buried eight feet (2.4 meters) underground in their Long Island, New York basement in 2018, over a half-century after the man, named George, had vanished. Even more strangely, they uncovered the family patriarch’s remains the day before Halloween, making some newsreaders initially wonder if the discovery was part of a spooky -- or, perhaps, sinister -- holiday gag.

9. SECRET TUNNELS
In early 2019, construction work was halted on a secondary school in County Meath, Ireland after workers discovered previously unknown tunnels while preparing foundations for prefabricated classrooms. Local Senator Ray Butler obtained images of what authorities believe are the remnants of the Trim jail, which was demolished during the 1950s.

8. MISSING PERSONS
While executing a search warrant in Columbus, Ohio earlier this year, authorities discovered two partially dismembered human corpses buried in concrete in the home’s basement. They tentatively identified the bodies as possibly belonging to two missing persons -- Henry Clay Watson, aged 49, and Tara Lynn Pennington, aged 46, both who lived nearby when they were reported missing in 2018.

7. ALLIGATOR
When Police in Madison Township, Ohio received a strange tip in March of last year directing them to a local resident’s basement, they may not have been expecting to find a fully-grown, five-foot-long (one-and-a-half meters) American alligator.

6. AN EXPLOSIVE WEAPON
It’s not entirely unusual for World War II-era explosives and other weapons to turn up in Europe, the United States, and in some other places, yet these discoveries are always surprising to some degree -- especially on the rare occasion that they happen within one’s home.

5. SKELETAL REMAINS
In late 2020, someone discovered skeletal human remains in a basement inside an Avondale, Ohio home. Authorities responded to a call regarding a “very old corpse,” according to Fox 19, and began working diligently to identify the deceased individual, who was unrecognizable and had no ID near them.

4. PYTHONS
Police in Bucyrus, Ohio were called to residences to deal with ball pythons not once, but at least twice in 2020. In October last year, officers removed a four-to-five-foot-long (1.2-1.5 meters) specimen from someone’s home.

3. A VANISHED MAN
Last year, a 38-year-old Detroit resident named Kam Franks disappeared from Faithful Helping Hands Community Services, a community outreach building he was supposedly last seen leaving on March 14. Police reported the man missing a few weeks later, noting that he was physically fine but in poor mental health at the time.

2. A 30-YEAR-OLD MURDER CASE
Last year, French workers discovered a decades-old corpse in the basement of a derelict mansion in Paris while performing renovations. They contacted authorities about the gruesome find, sparking a wildly outdated murder investigation.

1. A FUGITIVE
After being arrested on felony drug charges in October of last year in Antrim County, Michigan, 35-year-old Jennefer Andrea Robtoy managed to escape the police vehicle transporting her to her next destination -- which was, presumably, jail.
