Couple buys a house: days later they both make a bizarre discovery in it

England - Chocolates, Prosecco, a little card? Amaris Grey and her fiancé found nothing of the sort in their recently purchased first home. Instead, the couple from England had "inherited" a huge closet from the previous owners, as they discovered when they moved in. However, the British couple only made the truly bizarre discovery when they sold the piece of furniture.

"My fiancé found it along with the people who bought the closet it was behind, but he said it startled everyone for a second before they realized what it was," Grey said in an interview with Newsweek this week.

"And when he called me upstairs and said, 'Guess what we found,' I just burst out laughing, I wasn't expecting that," she added.

The reason: a "lodger" was hiding behind the cupboard: Sheldon Cooper, the world-famous nerd from the sitcom "The Big Bang Theory " - or at least a life-size cardboard figure of him.

But what was the character played by Jim Parsons (52) for years doing behind the cupboard?

"I have no explanation as to why he was there," Grey said, but offered a theory: "From what I remember, the last time we saw him, the owner was a science fiction fan. So I'm guessing he was also a fan of 'The Big Bang Theory' and just wanted to pay tribute to the great Sheldon Cooper."

A few days ago, the homeowner posted two photos of the curious story on her TikTok account. Since then, it has racked up almost 100,000 clicks.

And Sheldon? He's done it again in the meantime. Because he's definitely landed at the right address!

"I'm a big fan of 'The Big Bang Theory' anyway, so we're definitely keeping him," the new proud owner of the cardboard figure told the US magazine.
