i used to believe our house had secret passages all through it (even though it was a pretty small one-story house). i thought i could use them if i could only figure out how to get into them. i thought the key was a framed panel on the back wall of my closet, but i couldn't figure out how to make it open.
(i've since learned that had to be an opening for dealing with the piping for the bathroom - good i didn't get in.)
