Old homes come with many mysteries and new owners always find something worth saving and secret rooms worth exploring.

But there are also others who discover disturbing items and hidden areas while renovating their homes!

One mother has shared the moment they finally found out what was causing the repulsive smell in their bedroom, and they were obviously not impressed.

The wife filmed as they looked under their bedroom carpet only to discover a ‘secret manhole.’

Her husband can be seen lifting up the carpet, with Candy saying: “That smells so damp.”

When they opened the rusted drain, the disgusting smell just became stronger.

“Oh my goodness,” the mom can be heard saying in the video as she took a peek inside the drainage system, or a ‘poo pipe’ as she described it.

Covered in filth, cobwebs and rust, the woman was horrified at their discovery.

“That’s a poo pipe in our bedroom,” expressed. “To think we were going to leave the carpet in our bedroom until we could afford to change.

“Who just covers this with carpet?!!

“Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness. We’d of had poos just floating beneath us, accusing each other of farting every night,” she added.

Her video has been viewed over a million times and gained more than 35,000 likes.

One person commented: “Would have required planning permission if new build and the council would surely have wanted to make final inspection because of that drain! Cant see how that could happen!”

Another wrote: “Very scary to think that’s been there 500 years and no one has ever noticed it when they’ve lived in there before.”

A third added: “Wow! AS IF someone just covered it with carpet.”
