“Do nothing secretly; for Time sees and hears all things, and discloses all.” –Sophocles

The thing about secrets is that the truths they enshroud always and I do mean always  find a way to leak out.

Like, in my family we would tell ghost stories during the winter at family gatherings like Christmas parties or at family dinners. The common theme seemed to involve people who buried their victims in the basement and ghosts who were attracted to the water.

Years later I found out that my Great Grandmother’s childhood home had served briefly as a funeral parlor when another family owned it and indeed the mortician’s work was done in their basement. The Funeral Director died on his way to a cemetery.  He had  heart attack they said.

My Great Great Grandfather ( her Father ) died under mysterious circumstances. His body was found in   Rideau Canal in  Ottawa, Canada. He had been in Ottawa to attend his Mother’s funeral.

Neither of these incidents were talked about outright, but shades of them turned up in ghost stories.

These threads  haunted us I suppose.

Last week my family visited an attraction in the Dells, Wisconsin called  “The Upside Down House ” The Upside Down House is the White House-

And it is being guarded by big scary robots-

The secret wasn’t what was on the main floor- you paid the admission and you could walk right in.

What you did was to discover the secret  look straight ahead ( which isn’t as easy as it sounds because you are looking up so much that when you look down you go your sense of balance goes wonky ) to find the holes in the walls, from there you had to walk through these forced entries to find the secret that was hiding in the Upside Down House.

Then you had to follow the signs, like my son did.

This is where things got good.

What are they hiding in the Upside Down White House? What is the secret that has leaked out?

Why, the secrets is all about  Aliens of course.

Aliens are in the basement of the White House and they are in the midst of conducting medical experiments.

What were the Aliens trying to accomplish in their experiments? What were they trying to achieve?

That’s a secret they’ve kept in the basement of the Upside Down House and if we are lucky, it will stay down there.
