The three residents of Connecticut made an unexpected and sad discovery.
Diane Martin was in the process of moving to a new home.
To organize her move as quickly as possible, she turned to her friends Christopher and Angela Towner.
Christopher was preparing to move the furniture when he noticed that the floor gave way.
He didn’t immediately understand what had happened and fell into a pit about 9 meters deep.
As it turned out, it was a narrow well filled with a little water. This saved his life.
Everything happened so quickly that even his wife didn’t realize what had happened.
Angela immediately regained her senses and acted quickly, calling for help.
Later, when Christopher’s life was out of danger, it was revealed that the house where Diana had just moved in had a 180-year-old history.
The well was dug under the house in 1843, but forty years ago, they made the decision to expand it, and it ended up inside the residence.
Who had the “brilliant” idea to cover the well with a plank? That remained a disputed question.
Fortunately, the homeowner had faithful friends by her side.
