A seemingly ordinary day took a shocking turn when James heard his son, Liam, screaming from the attic. Rushing upstairs to console his terrified son, little did he know that this incident would unveil a hidden secret that had been lurking in their attic for years.

The incident began in 2018 when deer caused damage to the arborvitae trees in the family’s yard. As they prepared to replace the damaged trees, James and his family noticed something unusual between the trees on the east side of the yard. What they initially thought was an electric box turned out to be something much more perplexing.

In May 2018, landscapers were brought in to install deer-resistant bamboo trees and, in the process, remove the damaged trees and access the enigmatic metal box. To their astonishment, the metal box was not an ordinary electrical fixture; it was the entrance to a massive hornet’s nest.

James and Liam were both taken aback by the sheer size of the nest and the unusual noise coming from it, reminiscent of a car engine trying to start. The nest, unlike any other they had seen, appeared to be harboring something significant.
