WHERE URBAN LEGENDS COME FROM....
OTHER STUFFThe modest farmhouse had been vacant for 15 yrs.; the owner and wifeboth had died, and there were no heirs. The house was sold to pay taxes.
There had been several lookers, but the large barn had steel doors, and they had been welded shut. Nobody wanted to go to the extra expense to see what was in the barn, and it wasn't complimentary to the property anyway....so, nobody made an offer on the place.
A man from New York bought it at just over half of the property's worth, moved in, and set about to tear in to the barn.......curiosity was killing him.
So, he and his wife bought a generator, and a couple of grinders.......and cut thru the welds.
What was in the barn...............?

and start wishing it had been you who bought the place!
Unbelievakable....
The farm & barn are in Portugal.
So the guy from NY was probably already rollin' in dough!
The owner was an automobile dealer in the 1970s and 1980s who had built up his assemblage of cars over the years and stashed it in the barn (locking the structure up when it was full) and who simply hired a photographer recently to document his collection.
