🛠️ He dug every night for 15 years — right under his wife’s nose 😱 What started as a wild idea became the most unbelievable secret project ever… and the reason behind it? Absolutely hilarious. Find out where the tunnel led (and how he finally got caught) in the full story below! 👇
It’s not uncommon for couples to keep small secrets — but one husband took that idea to an entirely new level. For more than a decade, while his wife slept soundly just a few feet away, he was carrying out a secret mission that would leave both his family and his town stunned.
By day, Patsy Kerr was a regular guy — a plumber living in the Irish town of Omagh, known by neighbors as a hardworking, dependable man. But by night, he led a double life. For 15 years, nearly every evening, Patsy would quietly slip out of bed and disappear into a hidden passage behind their wardrobe.
Unbeknownst to his wife, he had been secretly digging a tunnel — and not just for fun. His goal? To create a private underground passage straight from their home to the local pub.
“I figured if I couldn’t convince her to let me stay out late, I’d just shorten the trip,” he joked in an interview. “She takes sleeping pills to fall asleep, so she never noticed. I even used a power drill once — and she didn’t hear a thing.”
For over a decade, he managed to keep the entire operation hidden. He worked in silence, hauling out dirt little by little, returning to bed before sunrise like nothing ever happened. But eventually, his cover was blown — and it wasn’t because he slipped up.
One night, his wife decided to stop taking her usual sleep aids. That’s when she noticed something strange: her husband sneaking off in the middle of the night and disappearing behind their wardrobe. Too shocked to follow him into the unknown tunnel, she confronted him the next morning — catching him red-handed as he emerged from the exit.
Patsy had no choice but to come clean. But his years of effort crumbled faster than the tunnel itself. Local authorities had recently begun investigating unusual damage to the nearby roadways — cracked tiles and uneven surfaces that hinted something was shifting underground. Once word got out, the tunnel had to be filled in.
After 15 years of sneaky digging, Patsy’s dream of a direct path to the pub was literally buried. As for his wife, let’s just say she now sleeps a little more lightly — and keeps a closer eye on the wardrobe.
