“I’ve never seen anything like this in my life!”
Emma James was cutting the grass in front of her house with a lawnmower when she found a hole in the ground. Throughout the day, the hole got bigger and deeper, reaching a depth of 2 meters. What made it even weirder was the rusty steps inside it!
Although the hole isn’t big enough for someone to go down into, authorities think it might lead to a canal that was covered up 35 years ago.
Emma and her spouse contacted the company that built the house in 1984, but they couldn’t say where the tunnel led. Emma said, “It’s strange that there are steps going down, but we don’t know where they go. There’s cement and rusty metal down there. We just want someone to come and tell us what it is. I don’t want such a hole in my yard.”
The local council told them the tunnel leads to a covered drain that’s been there for 30 years, but Emma and her spouse aren’t sure until someone checks. Even though the authorities keep saying it’s safe, no one’s coming to check it.
They hope another hole doesn’t appear or that someone doesn’t fall in. They had to put up signs to warn people until they find out what’s really going on.
