James was startled by the sound of his son Liam’s cries coming from the attic, interrupting what had seemed like an ordinary day. Rushing upstairs to comfort his frightened child, James had no idea this incident would reveal a long-hidden secret in their attic.
The story began in 2018 when the family’s arborvitae trees were damaged by deer.
While preparing to replace the trees, the family noticed something peculiar between the trees on the east side of the yard. What they initially thought was an electric box turned out to be something far more perplexing.
In May 2018, landscapers were hired to remove the damaged trees and gain access to the mysterious metal box while planting deer-resistant bamboo trees. To their astonishment, the metal box turned out to be the entrance to a massive hornet’s nest, not an electrical outlet.The size of the nest and the strange noises it emitted—resembling a car engine struggling to start—left James and Liam amazed. Unlike any nest they had seen before, this one seemed to conceal something significant.
