Local Mechanic Opened A Dumpster And Quickly Learned His Life Wouldn't Ever Be The Same

Jared Whipple is a normal guy. He works as a mechanic out in Connecticut, and he keeps himself busy by collecting vintage stuff whenever he can. It’s a simple life — but all that was upended with a simple call. One day, back in 2017, Jared was alerted to a dumpster that contained a bunch of interesting stuff. In a move that would change his life forever, he went to take a look.

Curious stuff

The date was September 22, 2017. The phone call Jared answered had been made by a pal who was working at a barn over in a place called Watertown. This friend was being employed to clear this barn, which hadn’t even been stepped inside for a very long time. There was some curious stuff there, and he thought Jared might be interested in it.

Good instincts

This guy’s instincts were correct. Jared loves collecting things, particularly components used in cars or motorcycles. And he was definitely excited to go take a look at whatever was hidden away in this old barn. So the following day he set out alongside his pal George Martin and George’s kid Logan.

Gut-wrenching

When the group got to the barn, they instantly knew they’d stepped into an extraordinary situation. They were shown to the dumpsters and took a look at what was inside. Sure enough, they were flabbergasted at what they observed. Jared himself later described the scene as “gut-wrenching and very upsetting.”

A strange situation

Jared had suddenly been pulled into a strange situation. He knew the items inside this dumpster were important, so he retrieved them, brought them home, and got stuck into some intense research. This would take him on a wild journey — one that meant his life would never quite be the same again.
