Couple find old polaroids and clothes stuffed in walls while renovating haunted 150-year-old home

A couple have been left baffled after making a series of eerie discoveries while renovating their ‘haunted’ 150-year-old home.

Cassidy Casale and Eton Merritt, from Ontario, Canada, bought their house in March 2022 for around $455,000 and started gutting the property right away.

The couple, who are both 24, soon stumbled across a number of items that had been stashed in the walls including old one-and-a-quarter coupons and a Pepsi can from the 1970s.

But things later took a more sinister turn after they discovered clothes stuffed into the walls, Polaroid images from the year they were born and even a handful of bones.

Cassidy and Eton have gained more than 41,000 followers on TikTok by sharing their progress with the house flip.

In one clip, captioned ‘things we found in our 150-year-old home,’ the pair showcased the creepy discoveries they have come across since beginning their reservation.

They begin by uncovering sheets of old newspaper from 1962 stuck beneath the floorboards before also revealing a bunch of Polaroid pictures that had been taken the year the couple were born.

And the finds did not stop there, with a singular reflection glass and a vintage, wooden plank, adorned with the words ‘Senorita.’

Social media users were mesmerized by the items and the video soon garnered more than 323,000 views and over 17,200 likes.

The response encouraged Cassidy and Eton to post a follow-up clip to reveal their other discoveries – but this time the findings were a little more sinister. 

It started with innocuous items such as a broken sardine tin from 1890 and a handful of one-and-a-quarter coupons from 1964. 

They then found  a 1963 TV guide, which featured old shows such as the American sitcom, Petticoat Junction, a US drama series entitled Sam Benedict, and a documentary called ‘INDIA’.

And, as if things couldn’t get any weirder, in another clip the duo then discovered a collection of bones hidden among the debris

The findings sparked a series of wild conspiracy theories from social media users but were later identified as belonging to a swan, racoon and a number of other rodents

But then the couple found bundles of clothes hidden and stuffed into the corner of the wall.

And, as if things couldn’t get any weirder, in another clip the duo then discovered a collection of bones hidden among the debris.

The findings sparked a series of wild conspiracy theories from social media users.

One wrote: ‘Why did someone put clothes IN THE WALL?? Murder cover up?’

Another added: ‘Well, this may explain why there were clothes hidden in the wall…’ 

And a third commented: ‘OMG imagine if a missing person mystery from 1960 get resolved because of this.’

However, despite the widespread speculation, the bones were later identified as belonging to a swan, racoon and a number of other rodents. 

Speaking about the project, high-rise land developer Cassidy said: ‘Although it may not have been our first choice, it’s been a great adventure so far.

‘Eton and I are doing all of the work ourselves while working full time so we aren’t moving at super speed, but we are spending every evening and weekend working away.’

She concluded: ‘We liked the quirky features of the old house and knew we’d be able to work with its charm to make it great.

‘Old homes throw a lot of curve balls which you can’t plan for until you begin tearing down walls and really getting deep into it.’
