My parents have lived in their house for 60 years – we just discovered a trap door to an area untouched for 2 centuries
A COUPLE who lived in the same house for 60 years has only now discovered a hidden trap door.
Their daughter gave viewers an inside look at the private area in their dwelling that was untouched and unseen for almost two centuries.
Jennifer Mallaghan (@jennifermallaghan30) is happily married and a proud mother of four children.
She regularly showcases random moments in her life with her children and family.
In a TikTok video, she brought viewers into her parent’s farmhouse.
The place itself is over 200 years old, and they discovered a hidden trap door while doing some home renovations.
First, she showed her audience a room under construction before she brought them through the door.
“Come see what we found today after them living here for nearly 60 years,” the subtitle read.
She filmed a construction crew working on the dusty gravel floor and stone walls.
A huge discovery was that there were hidden rooms under the floorboards.
She joked that there weren’t any dead bodies found and, unfortunately, no buried treasure either.
The TikTok user wrote in the video caption that the secret rooms were uninhabited for years without anyone knowing about them.
An entire basement level was discovered, full of multiple rooms that they never knew existed.
“So cool. Will they refurbish it to use the rooms?” a viewer inquired.
“No unfortunately not honey. We just wanted to see what was down there. Disappointing no old treasure,” Jennifer replied.
