There are often unexpected discoveries in relatives' estates.
This is what happened to a man with his grandfather's inheritance - which sparked a debate.
Vienna – Over time, many things accumulate in houses and apartments.
It is therefore worth tidying up your own four walls again and again - for example when guests come.
But even so, you should regularly create order at home so as not to lose track.
A Reddit user also started cleaning up his apartment.
And he made a mysterious discovery in his grandfather's remains.
Grandson finds mysterious audio tape of his grandfather: “What could be on it?”
The user, who according to his account probably comes from Austria, posted a photo on the social network.
He wrote: "Found this audio tape among grandfather's Super 8 films." And followed it with a question about his grandfather's legacy: "What could be on it?"
Finding an audio tape or other film or sound recording of your relatives is nothing unusual.
If it weren't for the inscription on the cover of the audio tape that Grandpa had left there in block letters: “Secret special recording for exclusive circle.
We ask that you concentrate as much as possible when listening.
It is recommended that you do not take notes.” No wonder, then, that the grandson reacted with surprise.
Grandson finds his grandfather's audio tape - and triggers wild speculation
Unsurprisingly, his post inspired the Reddit community to speculate wildly about what could be heard on the audio recording.
“Where the Amber Room is hidden” was one guess.
Or where the graves of Genghis Kahn or Alexander the Great are.
In all three cases, the exact location is still unknown today.
“Would also explain why there are no written records of this,” one user speculated.
Another user had several ideas.
From the question of who really shot ex-US President Kennedy to the “original Coca Cola recipe” to the things going on in the infamous Area 51, there was a lot there.
Elsewhere, a user was apparently reminded of a series of spy films starring Hollywood star Tom Cruise.
“This tape will self-destruct within five seconds,” she commented on the post – based on a recurring moment in the “Mission Impossible” films.
Several users, on the other hand, considered “dirty stuff” to be another possibility, as well as a “recording of a hen party”.
One user assumed it was a “birthday serenade for Grandma Ingeborg, sung by Frank Zander”.
Another was almost certain that the grandfather might have been joking with the inscription on the audio tape.
“99 percent a joke,” he said: “Dirty jokes or someone farts into the microphone.”

Clarification after the audio tape discovery remains pending for the time being
Some Reddit users called on the creator of the thread to clarify the matter as quickly as possible.
"I don't know, but I'm just as curious as you are. You're very lucky to have the tape in your hands.
Just play it, take notes and share them with us,” one suggested.
But according to another user, this could be difficult.
“Since an audio tape often doesn’t last much longer than 30 years, probably not much longer,” he pointed out that you might hardly hear anything when played: “But it’s certainly worth a try!”
According to
WDR
, Super 8 recordings that are not damaged can also be digitized.
However, this is relatively complex - it is recommended to leave this to experts or service providers.
However, the creator of the Reddit post has not yet provided any clarification.
The mystery of what the grandfather left on the car tape remains unsolved for the time being.
Meanwhile, a gas station sign recently caused some guesswork.
