A enormous, worn box had washed up on the beach overnight, presenting an unexpected sight to the little coastal town’s residents as they awoke one summer morning. It was sealed tightly, and despite its age, it was covered in weird markings. The villagers congregated, their interest aroused. They debated for a while before deciding to open it there on the shore.
The crowd let out a collective gasp when the lid creaked open. A variety of antique objects, each more enigmatic than the last, were included inside the box. However, their interest was piqued by more than just the objects. Something that appeared to be nearly alive was nestled among the objects.
At the bottom rested a bright sphere that pulsed with a faint, strange light. The orb hummed, sending a low, resonant sound across the town as one of the bravest townspeople leaned out to touch it. Taking a step back, everyone wondered what they had unleashed.
The marks on the box began to light in time with the ball as it started to hover. Now, the townspeople had to confront a scary question: Was this the start of something even more dangerous, or had they just created a doorway to another world?
Had you been able to open the box? Comment below with your ideas!
Title: “A Hidden Cavern Kept a Mystery—What a Trekker Found Inside Was Amazing!”
An inexperienced hiker discovered a cave concealed by dense vegetation while out for a weekend trek on a distant mountain track. He chose to go inside after being intrigued by its darkness and the absence of any indications of previous exploration. He could never have guessed what he discovered in that wet, dark cave.
Something shimmering in the distance was caught by his flashlight beam as he cautiously ventured further into the cave. As he got closer, he noticed some prehistoric designs and symbols on the cave walls that had no relation to any known culture. The thing at the heart of the cave, though, was what really gave him the chills: a massive, finely carved stone door with an eerie aura around it.
There was a tiny vibration coming from the door, like it was waiting for something or someone. The hiker saw the carvings on the walls start to move as he stood there, creating a path that led straight to the door. The cave appeared to be alive and responding to his presence.
The hiker was confronted with a decision: should he proceed and investigate the mystery behind the door, or should he retreat and let it remain unanswered, realizing that he might have just unearthed a long-buried secret?
The Corpse of Drew Barrymore’s Grandfather Was Stolen for One Last Celebration
John Barrymore came from a long line of theater actors. He himself first appeared on stage alongside his father in 1900, and in 1903 officially began his career, starring in the likes of Justice (1916) and Richard III (1920). His greatest role was his 1992 appearance in Hamlet, for which he was dubbed “the greatest living American tragedian.”
Barrymore also starred in a slew of silent films, most notably Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920), Sherlock Holmes (1922) and Beau Brummel (1924). He later made the transition to sound movies, starring in the likes of Grand Hotel (1932) and Midnight (1939).
On May 29, 1942, Barrymore died at the age of 60 from pneumonia and cirrhosis. What happened next has been the subject of many rumors. It’s alleged his friends, Errol Flynn, W.C. Fields and Sadakichi Hartmann snuck into the morgue where his body was being held, propped him up against a poker table and allowed him to experience one final celebration.
As it turns out, these rumors are true! In an August 2020 episode of the popular YouTube series Hot Ones, the acting legend’s granddaughter, Drew Barrymore, revealed his corpse had actually been stolen.
“Not only yes, but there have been cinematic interpretations of it,” she exclaimed. Those interpretations include S.O.B., starring Julie Andrews, and allegedly the 1989 comedy Weekend at Bernie’s, in which two friends pretend their deceased boss is alive.
Barrymore added that she wants the same to happen to her. “I will say this, I hope my friends do the same for me. That is the kind of spirit I can get behind. Just prop the old bag up, let’s have a few rounds.
“I think death comes with so much morose sadness and I understand that, but if it’s okay, just for me, if everybody could be really happy and celebratory and have a party, that would be my preference.”
Vintage Hollywood certainly was a different era…
