. Well, he knows. He knows. But that does not address curiosity, possibilities, adventure, dreaming and that thrill like when we were four years old and found that first Easter egg.

You are SO right Mary. 🧡

This is what kept going through my mind. What they already found was valuables to the nuns.

KZfaqrs are earning a lot from click baits.

well said...the nuns have no personal property!

I thought that too!

Also, I was thinking about the new plants along the wall, and water seeping into the basement walls? Great shots of the water flooding in. Quite the storm. Would have been a great time to go mucking about the top floor and watching Billys hair stand straight out! CHEERS

Exactly

Could be.

Now this is a plausible theory. Imagine having to give up a home you loved, and not just a home, but a great and grand place with deep meaning to you and your sisters, with great historical significance and long years of tradition and generations of love and work and toil. What a wrench it must have been, at least for a few of those remaining 8. What might they have done before leaving? Little acts of love and remembrance, rituals meant to help them let go of something that had been very much a part of their identities and their lives? Many things of value were indeed left at the convent, art and architectural elements and furnishings and the occasional piece of ironwork. It's seems very likely that at least one of those nuns left a token somewhere, even if it only had meaning for her. Anyone who has had to leave a beloved home forever will understand.

Amen!

Oh, Carol, what a brilliant perspective! I totally believe that is what happened!

My bet is that the treasure is a relic or a blessed medal. There is a rumor that Mother Teresa hid blessed medals of Our Lady of Grace inside the Kremlin when she went there because it helps protect and consecrate the place to Mary and her immaculate heart. I think the nuns would do something similar

Not really surprising given the age, looting armies, thieves, and dishonest people have always existed

no gold for billy

Isn't it? I am fascinated with this place. Who knows what could turn up at any moment. 🧡

I can’t wait for Billy to go looking for the crypt. He said he would :)

wow imagine

The crypt is generally in the same room as the altar right? Another spot would be the possibility of a compartment below the altar (if the convent dates to before the breakaway) where religious artifacts of Saints would have been kept.

They would place any important thing in or near the altar. I also noticed that the cross at the top of the chapel wall above the altar is a little crooked. Maybe it was bumped by someone putting something behind the faux wall?

Billy should install a couple of trail cameras to see if the images of any entities can be recorded.

Hopefully she liked, shared, and subscribed, hee hee. 🧡

😅

Agreed, the convent itself is a treasure, hidden right out in plain sight. 🧡

So you’re a really old Nun, it won’t be up high. Or behind a plaster wall. It will be low and probably something easy to remove, why not search with the metal detector? Would be a great video.

@@roseericson3828 old doesn’t mean poor mobility. My uncle was 75 and had to have major heart surgery - with in six months the damn fool was climbing through the garage rafters and swinging himself up like he was a teen…./ crap, I’m just over 60 and I can’t do that - but I try at least lol

Agreed The drains should be a priority for sure

Correct, that's what I was going to say but you just did.

@@spidersinspace1099 So was I

Exactly! There were treasures in the attic and in that hideaway between the walls!

@@mrsducky3428 Also take into account that when they sold the convent, it was deconsecrated. I can imagine the nuns wanted to secretly keep something holy (which is of the highest value to them) in the building so it didn't feel to them as if they "abandoned their faith" - in the convent at least - in a way. I think the holy family and holy heart pictures in the hidden room were the hidden treasure. The convent was deconsecrated, but secretly it wasn't entirely. I think it would have made more sense to Billie if he had heard the treasure story first and found the hidden room later. Also, the way I know nuns, this might have been part "rebellion" (secretly leaving a token of their faith in a deconsecrated place), and part "humour" because anyone looking for monetary treasure would end up finding a picture of the holy family and might reconsider their motivations in life. Now I'm not religious myself, and besides that this theory is as good as any other. I just wouldn't count on finding piles of gold there.

This is an EXCELLENT idea. 🧡

Yes, I was thinking too look at each stair as well. 🧡

I thought that too!

Watching for the 2nd time - mainly to read the comments

​I love reading the comments this one makes 413❤

Jane Post, What makes you think that the nuns loved that convent ? You obviously haven't heard the horrors that convents former inhabitants endure, because I have. Not a happy place for some, no ... for most. They were for the most part enslaved to other nuns and priests but, always with a smile, forced of course. Sœur Sourire known as The Singing Nun / Sister Luc Gabriel. And quite a few of my family members. At 82 years of age I still speak up for them because they were not allowed. I was born in one I will never forget what I saw. Of course the slave drivers were very happy.

Because I know several nuns that are very happy in the convents they live in.

@@billgreen1861 I will tell you I had several great aunts as nuns. One lived till 96, one lived till 102, one lived to 104. They lived a very good life. They lived happy lives. The stories they told us was wonderful. They dedicated their life to serving God and people. They didn’t live a creepy life. The oldest one died when I was about twelve, I’m sixty-two now. I’m sorry if you were in a bad place, but not all are or was like that. The nuns at my great aunts place were good nuns and priest that served with their order.

. The Ursuline nuns of Great Falls, now long gone, have left a very comforting and happy vibe in the big school they ran there. You could feel it on every occasion one had to attend an event in these more modern times. So poignant is it that it leaves no question as to their continued presence.

Interesting, Billy. I know nothing about nuns, priests,etc. but that doesn’t mean I don ‘t enjoy the stories I have heard. Keep searching! 💕💞💕

You know you might be right about this. These nuns lived in poverty. What looks like a few trinkets to us may have been their most prized possessions. 🧡

or it could be yknow, a church

@@tmapaman7080 if that's on their horizons then why not?! But it dossn't seem so far they are thinking along those lines!

@@janetpendlebury6808 A church is a place of worship not an organization

I didn't know there is a crypt...they didn't move the bodies?

Actually, in VERY MANY cases historical rumors turn out to have some truth at their core. I am very interested in archaeology and have come across many such instances.

Apart from that, there are many older, historic places in the U.K. that are haunted. It's not unusual or scoffed at over there like it is here in the U.s. But he probably has bats and rats as well, lol.

Yes, the fire is so large nearly half the US is covered in smoke. They say it might be some kind of ecoterrorism. Horrible. Blessings to you as you go through this time. 🧡

Great suggestion

🤣🤣🤣

I have to admit, after watching Ryan surprise Billy the other day on @lifeofryan, I was thinking something very similar.. wait until april 1 though, lol. 🧡

That would be a wonderful thing to put in a time capsule. 🧡

Good point! or squirrels, or birds. When we moved to this house in spring of last year (in UK) I was ready to swear we had an entire family of big humans living in the loft! We had the rat control in thinking it might be rats, but no sign of them, and no bait eaten. The noise continued but lessoned as summer went by and It calmed down over winter but now it is back and I think it is actually birds on the roof tiles, plus the fact that old timbers settle and creak bang and groan as the temperature changes.

Just beware bats may carry rabies, a U.K. bat researcher died of rabies cos he did not see a tiny bite on his thumb😢wear gloves

I disagree. What can be hidden, can also be found. Pro tip: Intuition goes a long way. 😏
