In December of 1986, Harry's family moved into their current house. The upstairs was one large room that turned out to be Harry's bedroom. We had many crazy times up there.
He had a walk-in closet in his room. So one day he and I were digging through old boxes and stuff in the closet and we noticed a piece of wood in a small alcove on the left side of the closet. We cleared the way back to it and slid the wood over. There was a hole leading to a small crawlspace.
So we immediately became Indiana Harry and Jason Jones. We were always ready for adventure. Harry crawled first, I followed right behind him. We crawled in just a few feet and the passageway turned to the left. It was very dusty back there. In fact, it had probably been hundreds of years since another human being had been back there! We couldn't wait to find the lost treasure.
So we turned left and crawled for several feet and it opened up into a rather large attic opening, large enough to stand in. We were on the other side of one of the walls of his bedroom. This open area was right above their kitchen. It was a section of the house lost to ancient times. Or some would say it was unusable space. But we considered this our secret room.
We only went back there a few times over the years. And then on January 14, 1995, after Harry had moved out and his younger brother had taken over the upstairs bedroom, his brother and I took a camcorder back into the area, revealing the secret to the rest of the world. And for those who didn't learn about it from that video know about it now!
We never did find any treasure back there.
