An unusual and disturbing call was received at the local police station.
“Hello…” whispered the faint voice of a girl around eight years old. “Please help… my dad is under the floor…”
The duty officer frowned and exchanged looks with his partner.
“Under the floor? Can you hand the phone to your mom or dad?”
“My dad hasn’t been home for days. And my mom doesn’t believe me — she says I’m lying. But I know he’s under the floor. He told me himself.”
“Wait…” the man said, his tone turning more serious. “How did he tell you if he’s not at home?”
“I saw him in a dream,” the girl murmured. “He said he went far away… and is lying beneath the floor…”
At first, the police chuckled, assuming the child was mentally distressed and were about to refer the case to social services. But something in her voice — her urgent honesty — made them take the call seriously.
“We’ll check just in case,” one officer said. “What if it’s true…”
When they arrived at the residence, they were met by the girl’s mother — a tidy, slightly anxious woman in her forties. She was surprised by their visit but allowed them inside.
The girl stood quietly beside her, clutching her teddy bear tightly, pointing toward a spot near the living room wall, right beneath the new laminate flooring.
The police decided to dig where the girl had indicated, and what they uncovered shocked everyone 😱😱
“Where is your husband?” the police first inquired.
“On a business trip,” the woman replied quickly. “In another city… maybe Serbia. Or Slovenia. I’m not exactly sure. He travels a lot.”
“Can you contact him?”
“His phone is dead,” she stammered. “Probably…”
While one officer tried unsuccessfully to reach the husband, another questioned the neighbors. No one had seen the man for over a week.
He hadn’t gone to work or reached out to anyone. No flights were registered under his name with any airline.
When the police said they intended to open part of the floor, the mother grew uneasy.
“We just finished renovating! Do you realize how much that cost? Who will pay for the damage?!”
“If we find nothing, insurance will cover it,” the senior officer replied bluntly.
They started removing the boards at the spot the girl had pointed to.
After a few minutes, a scream echoed. One officer jumped back sharply, dropping his crowbar. In the sudden silence, like a clap of thunder from a clear sky, came the words:
“We found… a body.”
Beneath the floor, they discovered a man’s corpse. Wrapped in construction plastic, partially covered with expanding foam and concrete. There were hardly any signs of struggle. It appeared he died from a single, powerful blow to the temple.
Later, the investigation confirmed the details. During a quarrel, the woman hit her husband with a heavy object. Realizing he was dead, she decided to conceal the crime, taking advantage of the renovation work underway in the house.
The workers assumed she only asked them to “fill the floor a little deeper.” No one suspected a thing.
And the girl… The girl really did see her father in a dream. He came to her, smiled sadly, and said:
“Tell them. I’m under the floor. I’m close. Don’t be afraid.”
And she told.
