Man Finds Weird Object In Backyard - When Police Arrive They Say, You Shouldn't Have Seen This
With the summer around the corner, Mark decided it was time to finally start his DIY project in the garden. After digging for a few days, Mark felt a hard object touching the end of his shovel. He started digging more and unearthed a giant object, but at first he was unsure what it was. Mark decided to sleep on it overnight.
But in the middle of the night, Mark woke up with a start and suddenly realized what it really was, and he called the police immediately to explain that he needed their help ASAP.
When the police arrived at the house, they still had no idea what they would be dealing with. Mark had not been entirely honest with them yet, as he wanted their confirmation first. He still had some hope that the metal object was not what he thought it was…
However, the moment the officer laid eyes on it, Mark knew he had been correct. The police told Mark he shouldn’t have seen this, and he couldn’t agree more. Within minutes there were at least 20 other officers on the scene taking care of the matter
Mark was quickly transported to the police station. He was going to have a lot of explaining to do…
But what did Mark find on his property? Why did the police get involved, and why was Mark not supposed to see this thing?
Mark’s wife Patricia had been on his ass about finally getting a pool in the garden for nearly 5 years by now. It was a promise that he had made when they bought the house but one that he had not yet delivered. Mostly because he just did not want to put in the effort, but now there was no way around it.
They were not going on vacation this summer, and thus he had a lot of free time this year. He figured that it was a case of now or never. He hoped he would be able to finish it in about 3 weeks. But Mark would quickly run into some unexpected problems that he could not solve himself…
The first step in making the pool was to dig out the hole in the garden. Because he did not want to spend too much money on the project, Mark decided to take this upon himself with the help of his 2 sons: Toby and Brian. It was like a fun family project. But one that would have a very unexpected conclusion.
On the second day of digging, Mark had almost gotten the hole to the depth he intended. However, he feared the worst when his shovel suddenly hit something and sounded different than wood. Could he have hit some of the plumbing under the property? It was clearly metal that he hit, but that should not be possible…
He had checked the documentation beforehand, which said that any plumbing and electricity should be at least half a meter lower than this. And on top of that, he had picked this exact spot because there shouldn’t be any pipes going below here at all! So what did Mark hit then?
In the next hour of him trying to dig out the metal obstacle, Mark quickly established that he was not dealing with pipes or anything like that. This object was much, much larger than that; furthermore, he felt like he had not even scratched the surface of this find yet…
Mark and his sons spend the rest of the day trying to unearth their find as much as possible. But the more they got to see the metal object, the less they understood what they were dealing with. None of them had seen anything like this before.
The only way that Mark could describe it was that it looked like a giant, rusted metal bullet. But of course, there had never been a weapon big enough to use such ammunition, and so it had to be something else. But Mark doubted if he was the person to discover that…
He considered telling somebody about his find. Somebody who might know more about it. But he also knew this could come with some unwanted consequences. The object would probably have to be studied and removed very carefully, and then his whole garden might get torn apart to see if other finds could be made.
He would probably be compensated for everything, but it was mainly a timer concern. He just wanted to get this damn pool over and done with, and he did not need a bunch of prying investigators on his property. So he decided that the best course of action was to keep the find secret…
But even with his decision made, the metal object did not leave Mark's mind that evening. He was supposed to rest from the hard work, but he just kept going back into the garden and using a flashlight to study the strange object. How could something this big be buried on his property without him knowing?
He tried just to fall asleep that night, but he quickly realized that his mind was still too busy thinking about the metal object. And thus, he decided to do some research on it. He had already looked online for what it could be without any success but had also thought of another way to investigate.
He started going through the old documentation of the house to see where it was that they bought it from 5 years ago. Maybe he could contact that man and ask him if he knew more about it. It was a long shot, but maybe it would work…
He could not find much useful information about the man, but he managed to find an email address he could use. And so, with nothing to lose, he sent the man a quick message about his find. He hoped that the previous owner would respond to him by the next day, but Mark did not have to wait that long.
Only 2 minutes later, Mark got a message back in his inbox. He was very surprised to get such a quick response but even more surprised by the contents of the email. When reading it, he even felt a shiver go over his spine. He had not expected to hear this tonight…
The email did not explain exactly what Mark was dealing with, but it did contain a very stern warning about the object. The man begged Mark to leave the object and bury it again. He was not to tell anybody about it under any circumstances. He just needed to leave it alone…
Mark was stunned by the response and immediately sent an email back to ask for clarification but realized the email address had blocked him. This meant he could no longer communicate with the man. He even tried to call him, but his number was also blocked.
But instead of listening to the warning of the previous owner, the interaction only made Mark more curious as wondered, ‘What the hell am I dealing with?’. It was obviously important to the man that nobody knew of the find, but why? And why should he even listen to the man?
Eventually, Mark was so tired that his eyelids were starting to close more and more. Now his thoughts could not keep him awake any longer, and he hit the sack. But the object even came back to him in his dreams that night. Alongside a shocking realization…
Mark suddenly shot up in the middle of the night. He had a nightmare about the object in his garden. But it almost felt like more than that. It almost felt real in some way. The dream revealed what the object could be. But if that was true, Mark had a very serious problem on his hands…
One thing he knew for sure was that he would not be able to deal with this himself. Out of fear of dragging this thing out, he had decided not to tell anybody. But now he had come back from that decision. This dream had changed his mind completely about the situation…
The very next morning, Mark decided to call the police and share his find with them. Their first reaction was one of disbelief. Mark’s story, which was incredibly strange, sounded made up. His encounter with the previous owner only attested to that. Should they really take this seriously?
Eventually, Mark did manage to convince the officers to send somebody out to his house to come and check out his find. Mark knew that if they had one look at his garden, they would know that they were dealing with something serious and something that was worth investigating.
Mark, however, did not yet want to tell the police what he thought the object actually was. The contents of this dream should stay private for now. He hoped that the police would come up with a different explanation so that his mind could rest easy again.
But soon after the police officer arrived at the house, Mark knew he would not get off easy here. While the officer was fairly clueless at first when he was led into the garden, it did not take long for him to realize what was actually going on here. And it worried him greatly…
The look in his eyes was one that Mark would not soon forget. And neither were the words that the officer spoke next. “You shouldn’t have seen this…”. Mark then knew that his dream had been telling the truth, and he had been very right to be worried…
The police officers were wary of Mark, suspecting that he was feigning ignorance about the mysterious object in his backyard. They doubted if he had actually had a conversation with the previous owner. As the email address had gone out of service! This proved not to be good for Mark…
Thinking that Mark was simply trying to put the blame on someone else, the police officers cuffed him. Mark was taken aback by this as he found himself unexpectedly being the one apprehended. He tried to call for Patricia, his wife, or two sons but was swiftly taken away.
As he was being taken away, one of the officers began to recite the Miranda Rights that Mark had only ever heard in movies: “You have the right to remain silent .-” The words echoed in his head; this could not be happening, but it was as the door closed behind him with a final ominous click.
After Mark was taken to the station, he found himself stuck in an interrogation room where across from him, a detective sat. The gruff officer kept hammering Mark about where Mark had gotten such an unusual object and why he had stashed it there. Mark tried to tell him about the past owner, but the detective quickly dismissed that. Mark felt hopeless…
