A girl called the emergency services and said she heard strange noises under her bed: when the police looked under the bed, they saw something terrible 😱😱
A strange call came in to 911. It was a 5-year-old girl named Mia. She looked scared and spoke in a whispering voice.
— Please, come. Someone is whispering under my bed. I hear them, I’m very scared… — her voice trembled.
— Where are your parents, Mia?
— They don’t believe me… they say I’m making everything up… But I hear them. Now… I hear them again…
The operator had worked in emergency services for 12 years, but this call gave him the shivers. The girl wasn’t lying or joking.
— We’re sending the police now. Stay on the line, okay?
Ten minutes later, the police were at the house on the outskirts of town. The surprised parents opened the door.
— What happened? Has Mia come up with something again? — the father asked, looking at his wife.
“We’re just going to check,” said the sergeant. “Can we come into the room?”
Mia sat in a corner of her room, holding her teddy bear tightly. Her eyes were full of tears. She silently pointed to her small bed with the pink blanket.
— The voices are coming from there… — she whispered.
One of the police officers knelt down and looked under the bed. It was empty—dust, a few toys that had fallen down, nothing suspicious.
“There’s nothing here,” he said, standing up. “It seems someone has an overactive imagination. Parents are getting a false alarm warning…”
— Wait! — another policeman suddenly said, raising his hand. — Quiet… no sound at all.
A deathly silence fell in the room. Even the parents in the hall froze. Half a minute… a minute… And then everyone heard the sound that little Mia had talked about. When they looked under the bed again, they saw something terrible 😨😱
And then… again. A quiet, barely audible whisper. But it wasn’t a voice. It was a sound… like metallic tearing, muffled by earth.
As if someone was… digging.
The policeman sat down and began tapping on the floorboards. In one corner the sound was muffled. The policemen quickly removed a small section of the parquet — and beneath it they discovered a thin layer of soil.
With a shovel from the garage, they started digging… and after a few centimeters, they came across a metal lid. Under it — a tunnel.
They called for reinforcements. After two hours, it was discovered that there was an entire tunnel system under the house and the adjacent plots.
Three refugees were hiding there — former prisoners who had been hiding for several months and were planning an escape abroad by digging directly under the city.
Using special equipment, they worked at night and tried to avoid noise — but little Mia heard them anyway.
Thanks to the girl’s call, they were arrested. Since then, Mia has been sleeping peacefully.
