This homeowner used to party like it was 1945.
A TikToker discovered a very bizarre basement-turned-nuclear bunker in her grandmother’s home that she claims the previous owners had installed.
The woman, known as It’s Me Carly on TikTok, showed off the decrepit-looking hidden lair of the “end of day prepper” in a clip viewed nearly 4 million times. She noted that her grandmother isn’t good with stairs, hence why the spooky setup remains.
At first, the de facto fallout shelter seems to be just an unassuming, tile-floored basement that’s mostly empty but includes storage closets and an unfinished breakout room.
It’s in that dusty side space where a false pipe hangs from the ceiling that, once pushed in, activates a hidden wall door on the basement’s opposite side in a coat closet.
The previous owner apparently used that area for canned food storage and a gun safe in anticipation of a nuclear war or, say, a zombie apocalypse.
But that’s just the beginning of this fun house.
Another room that contains electricity breaker boxes and other panels hides a wooden trap door — disguised with fake electrical instrumentation — that can be crawled into as you enter an actual concrete-protected bunker.
“When we bought the house, there was full, canned food storage in here,” said Carly of the dark, dirty space.
A few old-time gas masks, rusted-over candle cans, a water well pump — situated in a smaller side room — and at least six wooden barracks for sleeping have all remained inside the shelter.
While all of that had been known to Carly for some time, her most recent walkthrough of the nuke nut’s pride and joy revealed yet another hidden contraption for the first time since the Cold War’s end.
The previous homeowner had constructed a special concrete slide into the basement from the home’s outside that is activated by a latch. In other words, they had a trap door to quickly access their impromptu command center.
“When s–t hits the fan, I know where I’m coming,” Carly said.
