I’ve lived in my house for 12 years and just discovered what’s under my backyard after a man from the city turned up
A HOMEOWNER has been left shocked after finding that her backyard was hiding something under its grounds.
After living in the space for 12 years, she thought she knew everything about it.
Nature lover Angie Hong (@mnature_awesomeness) spends much of her time exploring the outdoors.
She quickly learned that there is always more to discover when a city worker showed up on her doorstep.
“Oh my God. So, we’ve got this fire pit in our backyard,” she began in the clip, pointing at a large portable fire pit.
“And this guy from the city just showed up and knocked on our door.”
While she had always thought her backyard was pretty standard, she now found out that there was more to it than meets the eye.
“He’s like, ‘Do you have a manhole cover in your backyard?’ And indeed, we do.”
The fire pit was placed above the manhole cover to hide its unaesthetic exterior.
“Do you want to see what’s inside?”
As the city worker lifted the heavy cover, he told Angie to stand back “in case it blows.”
Filming the interior of the brick hole, she discovered water passing through.
“We have been in this house for 12 years and I have always just been like, ‘Oh yeah, isn’t that kind of crazy how we have a manhole cover in the middle of our backyard?’
“Turns out there’s a secret passage in it.”
Angie seemed intrigued by the discovery, giddy with excitement and captioning the clip: “So… apparently there’s a tunnel under our yard?”
Viewers were just as impressed by the hidden treasure.
“I need to know more lol,” one wrote.
“That’s truly neat. My wife would hate how excited I would be,” added another.
