A HOMEOWNER has been left utterly gobsmacked after she stumbled upon a spine-tingling find beneath the floorboards of her 250-year-old home. The content creator, who is known online as ‘Haunted Amelia’, took to social media to show off her eerie discovery, after she heard a strange rattling sound.

She confirmed that not only did she find a very old penny, but she also got her hands on what seemed to be a gold-coloured book too. Alongside her clip, Amelia penned: ‘I found other things like old nails and old paper. I’m tempted to look and see if I can find anything else! I’m left with a lot of questions like why was this hidden there in the first place?.

‘For those who are worried, I DID wear a mask when I did this. But the dust was getting in my eyes which wasn’t fun.’. In the short clip, Amelia then pointed out: "I noticed that there was nothing holding this floorboard down so when you walk on it, it rattles a lot.".
As a result, her curiosity led her to pry up the floorboard, to see if she could fix it or find more, but instead, she found herself peering at an unexpected object hidden in the debris. Not only did she spot an Edward VII 1904 penny, but she then uncovered what a gold-coloured book tucked under additional planks.
As she extracted the dirty book, she simply shared: "It's filthy.". Clearly very puzzled, she pondered: "How long do you reckon it has been there? It's definitely a book, but they're not actual pages - they're really thick.". Amelia's TikTok video quickly went viral, racking up a staggering 9.4 million views in just six days, with many users eager to see the contents of the mysterious book.
