Woman's joy after discovering hidden room in her house behind a wardrobe
A woman was left open-mouthed after a DIY project revealed a hidden room behind a wardrobe.
In a video shared online, she shared how they discovered the secret space after knocking down a built-in wardrobe in a bid to create more space. The incredible discovery has gone viral on TikTok in a video which has been viewed more than 211,000 times. In the video, she explained: "This is so weird," before showing off the large space adjacent to her bedroom.
In another video, she explains: "This is my mum's room and there's a closet. Her boyfriend is moving in and they're trying to give him a closet. So he broke down the wall to try and make it bigger and it turns out there's a whole other side of the house." Viewers were left jealous by the unexpected discovery, with one commenting: "I wish I could find another whole part of my house. I'm never lucky."
Another joked: "You found Narnia." Some people were confused about how the family hadn't found it before - especially since the space had windows. But the woman said they just hadn't discovered the extra room while previously exploring. She added: "We searched the house up and down for a while and eventually gave up."

Lots of people warned her to be careful about using the hidden space. One person asked: "Anyone else thinking the old homeowners trapped a spirit in the room and built the wall to hide it and keep it in there...or is it just me?" Another commented: "I'm over here thinking about why was it boarded up in the first place? What happened in that room?
"Has no one seen Hill House?" A third warned: "Probably kept a demon in there but since you opened it, you're all f*****. "Have you not watched any paranormal movies?" It follows one terrified homeowner deciding to lock up a secret room after finding it filled with creepy dolls.
In a similar vein, the woman discovered the property while clearing out a wardrobe, three months after buying the house from an elderly woman. But she was left creeped out after finding it packed with antiques - including a headless doll and several Barbie's. In a final video from the hidden space, she adds: "This room just left me very unsettled and actually I feel really uncomfortable back here."
She added: "After today I've decided that I'm locking this room up and I think it should go back to those who this room belongs too," before focusing in on the dolls."
