Ghosts! Secret Rooms! Hidden Treasure! People walled up alive, hundreds of years ago! India has the coolest library!
Can anybody find any reference to the British walling up prisoners in Colonial India in “death chambers”, never mind this being a common practice?
Did they find it with a secret map on the back of their Declaration of Independence? 
34 American warships?
Funny comment from the article: “It’s a call center.”
I hope they find a cask of Amontillado!
Or a tell-tale heart!
I told a friend about this, and her reaction was “Have they tried speaking Parseltongue?”
Which was so much better than my suggestion of saying “friend” in Elvish.
Quick, someone call Geraldo!
Elvis and Judge Crater are going to have to find a new love nest. I wonder if Bigfoot has a spare room?
Beat me, dammit!
As you imply, my money’s on “not much”. Maybe some material culture artifacts interesting to archaeologists and historians, but probably not treasure. Then again, who knows?
On further reading, this article is really very odd. “What happened to the house between 1780, when Hastings is said to have sold it, and 1854, when it became the official residence of the Lt Governor of Bengal, is uncertain.” What? This isn’t like a book of uncertain provenance–this is a house. It hasn’t moved. Are there not records–perhaps not a true title history, but references to it by neighbors? Perhaps the article was hasily written, but I’m having a hard time believing that the library administration really doesn’t know what the place was used for in those 70+ years.
Were it in Britain, I’d be thinking it was a priest hole that had been done over. Is there some analog to this in India?
Obviously the headquarters of the Illuminati.
Open Saskatchewan!
FILTHY BEGGAR!
Nobody wants to hear about you & priests’ holes! :p;)
It’s probably just a library or a pet sematary.
It’s the portal to hell; it came to me in a vision.
It’s like the space ship in Event Horizon. It disappeared into an alternate dimension - a dimension of . . . EVIL!!! Now it’s back . . . OK, it’s been back for over a century, but it’s not like evil has to punch a clock or anything. Also, I’ve always believed that evil is incorrigibly lazy. Saying that is probably going to cost me a goat and a couple of chickens, but it had to be said.
They have long since transcended time and space. It is only their lap dogs that want to keep the myth alive - people like the CFR, Trilaterals and Bilderbergers. Just the idea of the Illuminati being corporeal is extremely humorous.
Jumanji…?
Sorry, I’m just having trouble imagining a treasure in a library. opens book
No! Wait!
Open Sarsparilla!
