Man finds 'hidden treasure' behind mirror in bathroom - and asks 'what do I do?'
A man has left the internet in hysterics after sharing the 'hidden treasure' he discovered behind his bathroom mirror - but some people have been left feeling uneasy. A chap who stumbled upon "hidden treasure" behind his bathroom mirror has turned to the public for guidance on what steps to take next. Matthew Mann's TikTok video took off as he queried his followers: "What the hell do I do?" having found an unusual electrical set-up. Filming from his loo, Matthew conveyed that a dodgy latch on the mirror prompted an investigation that led to an unexpected discovery. "I was just curious and I found a TV screen and a light behind the mirror," he said. "It doesn't seem to be plugged in - there's a cable box though. It does turn on but I don't have a remote. What was somebody doing? Watching the news while brushing their teeth?" Mentioning its proximity to the lav, Matthew gave a glimpse of how, with dim lighting, one could comfortably watch the TV. "This is going to drive my ADHD crazy," he admitted, reports the Manchester Evening News. "Am I going to have to get cable for my bathroom now? I might." After racking up four million views, Matthew's revelation prompted myriad suggestions for the feature's potential applications. "You found some IT dude's abandoned productivity project," one TikToker suggested. "There's software called 'magic mirror' that's like a sci-fi mirror dashboard. You put the weather, your calendar, a bus schedule on it." A second person speculated: "The mirror is somewhat transparent and allows the TV to play through. So you can watch news or whatever when getting ready. This is like a 2000s tech setup." A third advised: "Get a Google TV dongle, it has a remote and it's connected wirelessly to the Wi-Fi, you can turn the tv on/off with it. Now u have a smart tv in ur bathroom u can watch Netflix, YouTube, whatever." Yet, a fourth gravely wondered: "Do you think they had cameras someplace and they were watching from there? The whole situation is weird." One week on, Matthew returned online to share his newfound adventure resulting from the enigmatic discovery. "I finally turned this mystery that I uncovered into something fun," he shared. Having equipped himself with a universal remote control, an Amazon Firestick, and a light bulb, Matthew crafted his own set-up and demonstrated his success by playing The Lord of the Rings in another video. Reflecting on his inventive solution, a TikTok commenter suggested: "Well you could do movie reviews from the can, it would be hilarious," A second wrote: "Engrossed in this series from the UK. When is episode 4 coming out?" Another chimed in with praise saying: "It looks sick. Now you can flex on everyone with this thing." Meanwhile, someone else humorously remarked: "This is so badass!" Matthew concluded by countering claims that the series of videos had been "staged", as some had speculated. He showed the accumulation of dust behind the mirror as evidence, remarking: "Like, come on guys, really?"
