66-year-old handwritten love letter in a bottle found among WWII-era beach ruins in Poland, sparking a lost love mystery
Source: YouTube On the windswept coast of Gdańsk, Poland, a scene of childhood play turned into a moment of historical romance. Amid the decaying concrete and rusted remnants of World War II-era forts along Stogi Beach, two ten-year-old boys, Eryk and Kuba, made an extraordinary discovery. As they explored the deserted fortifications—haunted vestiges of wartime—they stumbled upon a weathered glass bottle partially buried in the sand. What they took for mere beach rubbish soon turned out to be far more intriguing: a fine, handwritten note sealed inside the flask, kept intact by time and water for more than six decades. Two boys find 1959 letter in a glass bottle in Poland along Stogi Beach The letter, written in 1959, was in flowing, rather antiquated cursive script, hard for the boys to decipher. Although time had worn off the ink, the script remained readable. Intrigued and enthralled, the boys consulted the internet. Their tale found its way onto the local Polish news website where an internet detective was able to decipher the text, which was a sincere love letter penned by a woman named Rysia. The emotional significance of the letter was self-evident. Rysia, identified as a summer student in the southern Polish town of Tarnów—approximately 432 miles from Gdańsk—wrote to a man she referred to as "my beloved Bunny." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bolsas nos olhos? (Tente isso hoje à noite) Revista Saúde & Beleza Saiba Mais Undo Using this endearing pet name and the open vulnerability of the message, the public began to become engaged, transforming this humble note into a historic mystery and a testimonial to unrelenting love. Letter penned revealing Rysia's silent struggles in love Rysia's letter is like a diary entry done at a time of yearning. She exposes her emotional isolation and admits that she deeply misses the man the letter is intended for. Even though the note revolves around her thoughts and emotions, it clearly demonstrates that Bunny is in her mind all the time. My darling, I'm a worse egoist than you think, I write only of myself, but you are the one I think constantly," she tells him. She recounts from her humble dormitory room in Tarnów how the background sounds of daily life—motorbikes, especially—send her mind racing back to her missing lover. The sensory specifics give emotional depth to the letter and stimulate a sense of place and atmosphere. "Each motorbike roar (and there are plenty of them here) brings memories of you into view through the window to the park laid out in front of me." Her prose oscillates between romantic yearning and melancholy melancholy. It emerges that although Rysia is committed, she is also quietly angry at being alone and possibly at the course of their relationship. She records the amount of free time she has, juxtaposed with his more apparent liberty. "You could go wherever you want, but I sit alone." Her statement is a delicate balance of reassurance and introspection, between longing and resignation. She longs not for excitement or diversion, but only to go home to familiarity, routine, and the man she misses most. "I do not want fun or strolls," she says simply. "No one is known here." The untouched letter for 66 years sparks a mystery of love lost to time The fact that this letter sat sealed in a bottle for 66 years until it was found lends it the almost mythic status. Who was Rysia? Who was Bunny? Were they lovers torn asunder by circumstance, distance, or responsibility of postwar Poland? Did they ever meet again? Or did the letter—never opened, never read—happen to be one last go at love that could never quite arrive? These queries have bred internet rumor and amateur sleuthing. Most readers are intensely interested in the fate of the couple, hoping some record of them—or their heirs—remains. Emotional engagement with the letter has created a sense of distance from this being a historical document and more as a personal connection through the ages. Two boys trying to track down the origin of the letter Ever since the discovery, Eryk and Kuba have allegedly contacted a museum in Tarnów hoping to track down the origins of the letter and possibly find out who Rysia or Bunny were—or their families. Their childlike curiosity has turned into a community search mixing romance, nostalgia, and history. For some, the letter is a testament to the timeless power of the word. It is not just a personal moment between two individuals, but an isolated piece of 20th-century emotional history, kept alive against the odds. In an era where instant messages evaporate in an instant, the physical durability of a letter trapped in a bottle is an enduring symbol of love's resilience—and vulnerability.

Mysterious, 66-year-old handwritten love letter in a bottle washes ashore amid WWII ruins
Love was found washed up among the ruins. A long-lost love letter in a bottle that washed up on the shore of the Baltic Sea has sparked a mystery and hunt for its author, who wrote the note by hand 66 years ago, according to reports. Two 10-year-old boys named Eryk and Kuba were playing in abandoned World War II forts on Stogi Beach in the town of Gdańsk in northern Poland when they found the bottle, according to TVP World. Inside, they were amazed to find a handwritten love letter from 1959 — its ink faded but still legible. The boys couldn't make out the strange cursive style of writing, but an online sleuth on the local news website quickly transcribed it for them. A decades-old love letter found washed up on the shore in a bottle has sparked a mystery. nito – The note was written by Rysia, a lovelorn woman taking a summer class in Tarnów, another Polish town 432 miles away from the beach where it finally washed up after decades, according to reports. The note is filled with longing and hopes for the future, but also contains frank and honest confessions from the author. It is addressed to a young man she called 'my beloved Bunny,' according to the local reports. 'My dear, I'm a terrible egoist, I only write about myself, but it is you I think about all the time,' she wrote, describing her long days and sleepless nights. 'Every roar of a motorbike (and there are a lot of them here) awakens memories of you through the window to the park that spreads out in front of me,' Rysia said. Some parts of the letter hinted at a trace of resentment. 'I have a lot of time for dreams because lectures are only from 9 to 2 p.m. and the rest of the time is at my disposal,' she wrote. 'You could go wherever you want, but I sit alone.' At times in the writing, it seemed like their relationship was new, as the author explained to Bunny what she was like and how she preferred to be alone. 'I assure you that I am quiet and modest, I don't strike up acquaintances with anyone — I simply avoid men,' Rysia wrote, looking forward to when she can finally return home. 'I have no desire for fun or walks,' she scrawled. 'There is no one familiar here.' The letter and its passionate contents preserved after all these years have sparked speculation online about the intrigue between the two lovers from another era. Both the treasure finders and online commenters fascinated by the message in the bottle are hoping to find Rysia and Bunny — or their descendants — and learn if their relationship has made after all these years. The boys who found the bottle said they have been in contact with a museum in Tarnów in the hopes that the letter's author can be found, according to local reports.
