A man climbed into a really big hole in his garden and refused to get out.

Firefighters were called after the unnamed person launched the bizarre stunt at his home in Catherine Way, Batheaston, which is two miles east of Bath. His neighbour Dominic Denny witnessed the strange incident last Tuesday and confirmed the man had dug the hole himself.

It started at about 4am this morning when there was a lot of shouting and screaming coming from the house opposite me, he told the Bath Chronicle.

The young mans family was outside trying to get him back in the house. Help didnt arrive until around 7am but when it did come it was impressive. Mr Denny said ten different emergency service team members attended the location, including a specialist team from Avon Fire and Rescue Service.

He added: They called the specialist in and they put together a kind of crane over the hole and then tried to go down and get him.

He confirmed the whole estate was closed off while they dealt with the incident.

The man was eventually coaxed out of the hole, which he had been digging for weeks, but there was no explanation for why he made it in the first place.

An Avon and Somerset police spokesperson said: We responded to the incident this morning in a support capacity.

We had to close the road because there were so many service vehicles in response, which was disruptive because it was on a bus route.

The incident was resolved and the man got out of the hole of his own accord.

Completely real. Lol.

Must have been almost 20 years ago now but I'll never forget that guy and his unbridled excitement at the thought that some kids were bringing back "hole digging". It makes me laugh remembering it.

He got high, and thought that the Mole Men were plotting against him, so he decided to launch a one-man war against our soon-to-be oppressors. Once he came down, he realised what had happened, and decided not to tell anyone out of embarrassment.

We've all been there.

Why?
There was no "emergency", and anyone who showed up should have just gone home when the guy said "nah, I like this hole, thanks bye".

If anyone is responsible, it's the person who called the cops, and just escalated the whole situation.
