I found a locked suitcase in my grandparents’ loft that’s been there for 20 years – when I got it open I freaked out
A WOMAN who found a locked suitcase in her grandparents’ loft has admitted she “completely freaked out” when she finally got it open.
Lauren had tried to get the case open when she was young, but ended up forgetting all about it when she couldn’t.
But after spotting the case once again, she decided once and for all that she was going to get it open.
“This suitcase has been buried in my grandparents’ attic for 20+ years,” Lauren wrote over the top of her TikTok video.
“It belonged to my great grandmother so they didn’t know what was in it.”
Armed with tools, she set upon her task – eventually managing to prise open the lock with a claw hammer.
She then showed what was inside the case, as she explained: “It was packed full of my grandmother and great-grandmother’s clothes from the 50s and 60s.
“They were almost all in perfect condition because they have been locked up – just a few leaks got in.”
“I COMPLETELY freaked out I was so excited,” Lauren captioned the clip.
In another video, Lauren showed all of the stunning items she had found in the case, including some gorgeous day dresses, pretty silk evening dresses and even a pair of shorts.
“OMG THOSE ARE SO PRETTY,” one person commented on the video.
As another added: “Awh it makes me so happy to think that she’s prob watching down on u & so happy u found some of her old clothes to try on.”
“Please please please never sell these,” a third urged.
“They’re your precious mementos now!”
“I would never sell them tbh. Even if they don’t fit it’s an amazing way to remember them,” another agreed.
“I would’ve been too scared to open it cause this is how a scary movie starts,” someone else commented.
To which Lauren replied: “I found a ouija board in there when I was 12, I didn’t go back in there for years.”
“This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen!!!” another wrote.
