Local Mechanic Opens A Dumpster, Looks Within And Is Taken Aback

It only took a simple phone call to upend mechanic Jared Whipple’s life. The avid vintage collector was alerted to a dumpster containing a bunch of interesting items. So, in a move that would change his life forever, he went to take a look. But when he opened the lid and saw what was inside, he could hardly believe this was actually real.

Curious stuff

The date was September 22, 2017. The phone call Jared answered had come from a pal who was working at a barn over in a place called Watertown. And this friend was being employed to clear the barn, which hadn’t even had a foot stepped inside it for a very long time. There was some curious stuff there, and he thought Jared might want to come and take a look. 

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. It was time to work out what he was dealing with.

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.
