Mark and Jenny Rosman purchased their house in 2017 and discovered a hot tub when they were renovating the floor. In 2020 they refurbished it and said they were “overjoyed and shocked” when they found the random hot tub under their living room.

A Wisconsin couple bought the house from an older woman. She had not used her hot tub in years, so the woman turned it into an office or sitting room. They dug it out and have an $8,000 to $25,000 feature in their house for free (though they need to clean it).

Henry IV of France ruled France 400 years ago. He was also the father of Louis XIV – a French monarch who is known as The Sun King. Henry IV’s reign was not easy. Henry IV survived 12 assassination efforts, but was killed by a religious fanatic who attacked his carriage in Les Halles when it stalled.

The head of Henry IV was found in the attic a French Tax Collector hundreds of years after it had been lost. Two journalists, who heard about rumors or clues to the location of this French monarch’s head, found it. The head of Henry IV was later given to his descendants, probably so they could bury it.
