A couple discovered a secret room in their house after living there for years, sparking social media theories on its previous use. TikTok user Aurora Blazingstar shared a video of her husband pushing a portion of a wall to reveal the hidden room in their basement. The couple had never seen the room in the four years they had lived there. The room was discovered while removing carpet, revealing a sliding drywall pocket door.
The mysterious room contained a working light switch, wires hanging on the wall, a drain, and rust patches on the floor. Blazingstar considered calling the police or bringing in a canine to investigate the questionable spots on the ground. The couple speculated that the room may have been used as a bomb shelter, panic room, or gun safe by the previous homeowner and builder.
Blazingstar’s husband, a physician, believed the room was intended as a panic room due to its design. The couple eventually called the local police to investigate the room, but no evidence of a crime was found. They joked about using the space as a guest room for Blazingstar’s mother. The original video of the discovery went viral, garnering over 1.3 million views on TikTok.
The couple also revealed another hidden room in their home, which served as their children’s playroom and was located upstairs behind a wall mirror. Despite their reassurances that no crime had taken place in the secret rooms, social media users continued to speculate on their previous use. Some suggested that the basement room appeared to be a murder room due to the lock on the outside and the presence of a floor drain.
In follow-up videos, the couple showed their children exploring the hidden room, with the older daughter stepping onto the rusted flooring and the younger son carrying a cross. Despite the eerie nature of the hidden rooms, the homeowners were fascinated by the ingenuity of the builder in concealing them. The local police confirmed that they did not find any evidence of a crime in the secret rooms, but were impressed by the hidden nature of the spaces.
