Pull the Cord to Exit
FOUND by Julia Wallace
in Houston, Texas
When I was twelve me and my friends would play around our church. It was built in 1910 and has tons of basements and boiler rooms and such, and was used for a bomb shelter at some point. Me and my friends were playing in the sacristy (where the priests gets ready) and behind a crucifix on the wall I spotted some paper sticking out. I crawled up and got it, and this is what I found... We searched for the "treasure" but discovered nothing. This is my favorite find just because it fulfilled some of my childhood Nancy Drew reading fantasies.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
I love this. Maybe you just don't know of the "discuised door". I would keep looking for it.
That's awesome
that's so excellent, that's the sort of note everyone wants to find
also it looks just like my dad's handwriting!
Wow Liza is right... thats the note of everyone's fantasy. Is that Disguised door? or a misspelled Disscussed door? Well I would day keep looking if you still go to that church or have access to it!
I love this. This is amazing.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have the opportunity to go on a real treasure hunt like that, even if all I found was some old book or something. I think we should all go. TREASURE HUNT ANYONE?!
If this church has an image of Jesus carrying the Cross, or Nicodemus carrying it for him, that would probably be the Burdened one. That's where the treasure is! Go look!
or it could be near St. Francis of Assisi...he is usually depicted with a lamb on his shoulders...omg i want to go look!!
I think it was written during the prohibition.
Drunk priests.
Burdened one?
P.S. I wonder is wine wasn't used in churches during the prohibition. Hm. I'm going to have to try and find out.
Does anyone know if Julia ever found anything? or of a way to find out?
Maybe the "burdened one" is the donkey from the nativity set.. it's in storage for most of the year, until Christmas season. So look for the door to the miscellaneous storage area. The door is disguised so it looks like just another wall panel. May good fortune be with you.
I wish I could find things like this. It's so neat to think about "real" treasure.
Wow i love this, makes me think of when i was little in girl scouts and we used to play in the old church where our meeting took place!
I have always wanted to find something like this -- even if it was just from a child's game, it's still strangely comforting to know that some things never really change.
To me this sounds like a clue from Monkey Island!
