An Old London Home Was Scheduled For Demolition, Until They Found THESE In The Basement ...
By Archit Tripathi


Back in 2006, a London orphanage was slated for demolition. During the inspection, a sealed basement was uncovered with thousands of wooden crates inside. Upon further examination, it was found that the crates contained thousands of oddities, artifacts, rare specimens, and mysterious diaries. The items, which can only be described as completely bizarre and maybe even slightly unsettling, are weird enough, but the story behind them might be weirder still.
Today, the collection is known as the Merrylin Cryptid Collection. It was named after the original collector, Thomas Theodore Merrylin, a British aristocrat and naturalist from the 1800s.






Merrylin traveled far and wide to procure these specimens, many of which showed species previously considered only mythological. He was the subject of some scrutiny when he still looked like a 40-year-old man in his 80s, and some accused him of using dark arts to prolong his life.
Then, he suddenly disappeared from public view until 1942, when a man claiming to be Thomas Theodore Merrylin donated a sizeable London house to an orphanage, under the conditions that the house never be sold and the basement never be opened. Recently, the orphanage was dissolved and the basement (and its incredible contents) were found by accident during the demolition process.

Even though the real Merrylin would have been over 160 years old in 1942, the donor appeared to be in his 40s. Most people at the time simply assumed he was simply a relative with the same name, but could it have been Merrylin himself?
Alex CF, the curator of the collection, certainly seems to think so. He says that Merrylin's diaries contain references to all kinds of advanced ideas such as quantum physics and theories on multiple universes - ideas that didn't even exist back then and that we are only just exploring now.

What's even more interesting is how Merrylin's diaries seem to establish a scientific basis for some of the mythological specimens in his collections.

It's clever stuff, but not real.
