In the basement of an old London mansion, the bodies of strange creatures were found





In the 1960s in London, during the clearing of a site for the construction of a new residential area, an old, long-abandoned mansion that previously belonged to a certain Thomas Theodore Merlin was sent for demolition. In the basement of the house, the builders found several thousand small wooden tightly sealed boxes. Imagine their surprise when inside they began to find the corpses of strange mythical creatures that seemed to live only in fairy tales...

Lord and Professor Thomas Theodore Merlin.

Sir Merlin was born into an aristocratic London family in 1782. His mother died in childbirth and the boy was left in the care of his father Edward. His father was a military general, but soon after the birth of his son, he retired and became seriously interested in esoteric natural history. Good investments in profitable commercial companies have allowed him to travel around the world in search of a variety of artifacts and unknown species of animals and plants.

They traveled together for many years until Edward passed away. Thomas took his father's death very hard. Seeking solace in his work, he became practically a hermit, collecting at home an impressive library and samples of found unseen creatures. Nevertheless, he found the strength to return to the scientific world. During his long career, Thomas Merlin traveled around the globe many times, he was friends and corresponded with many famous scientists of that time. And, of course, he continued to collect his collection.

Once, in 1899, he even made an attempt to show it to the world, going on tour overseas, to America with a small part of his impressive collection. But the local conservative public reacted sharply negatively to the creatures that Merlin showed them. The tour had to be canceled before he could get to California. Surprisingly, even at his venerable age, Sir Merlin retained an amazing physical shape. He rarely looked more than 40 years old. It even got to the point that some began to accuse him of occult practices that allegedly gave him eternal life.

These doubts were only strengthened in the spring of 1942, when someone posing as Thomas Merlin produced papers of ownership of the house and stated that he wanted to transfer it to the ownership of the Tenbridge Children's Home on the condition that the house would never be sold and the basement would never be opened. People who followed Thomas Merlin's work naturally believed that he had died a long time ago, because in 1942 he should have been over 160 years old. But this man quickly disappeared and it was no longer possible to find him. The orphanage kept its promises, they never opened the basement of the mansion. But in the 1960s, they had to move out of there, and the house was demolished. Only by destroying it almost to the ground, the builders managed to find Merlin's secret collection. And what was there is simply amazing.

An important addition.

In order to avoid all kinds of misunderstandings, it is still necessary to make a separate clarification that this entire collection is most likely just a set of interesting miniatures created by artists that have nothing to do with reality. And the story of Sir Thomas Merlin is nothing more than a beautiful legend. In our pragmatic everyday world, sometimes you want a little mystery and riddle. Don't take it personally.
