Aguinaldo’s elegant home has a number of secret passageways that allowed him to go in and out of the house without being seen by visitors. A cabinet turns to reveal passage into the bedroom; the floor on the side of the bathroom can be lifted to reveal a staircase down to the ground-floor swimming pool and bowling alley; a heavy stone table in the center of the kitchen covers a tunnel that allegedly led to either the nearby church or the town cemetery.
