You read it right! Yes, that's title of this evil story that I am about to share.
It happened back in 1984 in Austria where the father named Josef Fritzl lured his newly-turned 18 years old daughter named Elisabeth Fritzl. She is one of the seven siblings. At such young age Elisabeth has always been different from her sisters, she knows how to fight back and that's one of the reasons (maybe) her father took interest on her.
When she turned 18, her father lured him inside their own basement. It was not an ordinary basement just like what you see in ordinary houses or TV shows. This one was built for the housing more than one person. Josef secretly built it and not even his wife or other children noticed it but I doubt that. It took years for it to be built and a lot of materials.
When he successfully got Elisabeth in the basement after a month her mother reported a missing person but the evil father forced his daughter to write a letter that says she ran away because she can't take living with her family. Police officers did not question it as Elisabeth has previous records of running away when she was younger.
Years have passed and still the Fritzl family doesn't have a clue that their own sister is just under the secret basement. Other Fritzl tenants were curious though on why they are not allowed to go near the door of the basement or even the little garden on their backyard.
So, what's happening inside the secret basement all those years? Well, the father was abusing his own daughter and got her pregnant. As Elisabeth gave birth to seven children, Josef has to expand the area of the basement and plan on how to manage the growing kids.
He made another evil plan though. He made look like that his daughter got pregnant by other man put the newly born babies each time in front of their door to make it look like Elisabeth abandoned her own children and let her parents take care of them.
You might wonder how did Elisabeth and her remaining children stayed alive. Of course, Josef provided them food and other necessities and she made sure that despite being captive inside a basement her children learn to write and read, Elisabeth did her best to be their teacher.
So how did the daughter and children got away with it? One day, the eldest child got sick and Josef agreed to take child to the hospital. The doctor asked for any medical history but he can't provide any.
Finally, Elisabeth was able to convinced his father to take her and other children to the hospital too. And then all the secret got unfold. Police have found out the true story from Elisabeth. They then detain the evil father.
Take note that I was not able to discuss even the tiny details but if you want to know more, you can Google or watch a documentary on YouTube just type Fritzl Case.
