When 33-year-old Michael Tate stumbled upon a real estate listing for a remote cabin in northern Washington priced at just $500, he thought it was a scam. But curiosity—and a recently ended relationship—drove him to check it out. What he found would change his life forever.

The listing was vague. No interior photos, no real address—just a set of GPS coordinates and a “sold as-is” warning. But Michael, a travel vlogger and part-time treasure hunter, smelled a story. He hit record and set off.

The cabin was exactly where the coordinates pointed—deep in the Olympic National Forest. It was covered in vines, surrounded by thick fog, and dead silent. The front door creaked open like something out of a horror movie. Inside: dust, mold… and silence. But then, in the floorboards, he saw it.

A metal handle. A hidden hatch.

Michael pried it open and descended into the darkness. At the bottom of the stairs, his flashlight flickered onto what looked like an old laboratory. Dusty filing cabinets, sealed crates stamped “Property of U.S. Government,” and a row of canisters with dates ranging from 1952 to 1960.

The most chilling part? A single glass tank, shattered, with claw-like scratches on the inside.

Experts were called in. What they found shocked them. The cabin, they say, was once part of a Cold War-era biological research project, long buried under top-secret classifications. The lab had been abandoned for over 60 years—along with whatever it had housed.

The government has yet to comment. Locals claim strange lights and sounds have been coming from the forest ever since Michael opened the hatch.

Michael? He’s vanished from social media. His last post: a single sentence—

“Something followed me home.”
