If frightening movies teach us anything, it’s that discovering a hidden room in your new house is never a good thing, therefore you should be cautious about making such a find. A bizarre hidden room that was concealed in the lounge of a Logan, Utah home shocked a couple. There was an entryway behind a bookcase. The house was built in the late 1970s, and the chamber was mentioned in the designs. There was only one folding chair in the concrete room. There were several theories about the area, including that it was a panic room or a dungeon—one Redditor said that it appeared to be the latter. That still doesn’t fully account for the lone folding chair.

35. Largest Diamond in the World Found in Arkansas

Location: Murfreesboro, Arkansas
Year Discovered: 1924
Est. Value: $1 million*

Most likely, African mining comes to mind when you think of diamond mining. Nonetheless, there have been a few extremely rare discoveries of these magnificent, priceless stones in America. The largest diamond ever found in America was discovered by a young person in Murfreesboro, Arkansas in 1924 during an early digging operation. This 40.23 carat diamond was later dubbed Uncle Sam. In 1971, a Boston dealer sold it to a private collector for $150,000; it was white with a pink cast. This indicates that the diamond is worth $1 million in modern currency. Uncle Sam was referred as by Arkansas State Parks as a “one in a billion gem.”
