When Cathy and her husband Roy moved into their new apartment in New Jersey, they never could have imagined the shocking surprise that awaited them. Just two days after settling in, a heavy storm caused their basement to flood, leaving them with a big mess to clean up. But as they began to assess the damage, they made an unusual discovery.
Roy pulled out a piece of plasterboard from the wall and to their surprise, it was filled with empty bottles of Captain Morgan rum. The bottles, completely clear and devoid of any golden-colored liquid, seemed to pour out endlessly. As Roy shoveled them out onto the ground, Cathy couldn't help but laugh and joke, "Thirsty?"
But Roy, still kneeling on the ground, didn't seem to find the situation as funny. "It's five o'clock somewhere," Cathy added, trying to lighten the mood. She even captured the whole incident on video and shared it on Instagram, along with the story of how a massive rainstorm had flooded their new home and left more water than the ground could hold.
The video quickly went viral, drawing the attention of hundreds of thousands of people. Along with the video, Cathy shared a photo of the spot where the bottles had been discovered. Many Instagram users couldn't resist making jokes, referencing Melvin's "99 Bottles of Beer" song.
But the viral video also caught the attention of the former homeowner, who reached out to Cathy and Roy. As it turns out, this person was responsible for hiding the bottles in the walls and wanted to share the full story. "There are hundreds more," Cathy revealed, "but he's been three years sober now."
This unexpected discovery of rum bottles in the walls was not the only recent incident of strange finds in homes. Just last year, residents of a home in Santa Rosa, California called pest control to remove 700 pounds of acorns that had spilled out from the walls. And in a terrifying discovery, a first-time homebuyer in Centennial, Colorado found snakes in the walls of her new house.
It seems that sometimes, the walls of our homes hold secrets and surprises that we could have never imagined. And for Cathy and Roy, their new home came with an unexpected connection to Captain Morgan himself.
