Whilst renovating her family home in the States, one TikToker made an eerie discovery earlier this month that sent shivers down the spines of her followers.
That's because, in a chilling twist of fate, the woman accidentally uncovered a 'secret room' that she didn't know existed, which was hidden within the walls of the home she and her husband had lived in for four years.
Talk about creepy right?
Well, she has since provided her followers an update after she called the police to inspect the room.

While replacing the carpet in basement of their US home, Aurora Blazingstar - who shared her story on TikTok (@kids_up_in_here) - and her husband soon came across a sliding drywall pocket door, which opened to reveal a secret room.
In one of the now-viral series of videos she uploaded, she can be seen turning the camera to show a dark grey door with a weak metal hatch.
Another shows her husband opening the door to reveal a small, square room inside, complete with lighting and a drain in the floor.

"Oh, my God!" she can be heard exclaiming. "What the f**k? We have never seen this in our house and we have lived here for four years. This must be some kind of bomb shelter of something."
Despite Aurora and her husband's various suggestions, hundreds of users - who have seemingly been left horrified by the discovery - urged the mother to alert the authorities to the room - with some even suggesting that a crime could have taken place within the walls.
"It's 100% not a bunker, maybe a grow room but theres a real chance that 1 or more crimes were committed here and instead of calling the cops you're joking about it online," one hit out in the comments.

"100% call the cops," another went on.
A third added: "I would honestly contact police bc of that outside lock. You never know what cold cases are in the area."
While some agreed that the room may have been used as a bunker of some kind, others suggested that the space may have been used to store guns, and a few believed that it could have been used as a room to grow marijuana.

Luckily, the mother-of-two took on the advice of her followers, revealing in another follow-up clip that she eventually called her local police to check out the room.
"I did actually contact the police today," she told viewers. "The main reason being that the conspiracy theorists have been going very nuts."
Aurora continued: "I've had to delete a lot of comments, I've had to block a lot of people, so I just wanted my local police department to know in case someone found who I am and where I live."

She adds that a couple of 'curious' officers then showed up to her home, but declined to be part of her TikTok series.
Revealing the results of their chilling investigation, she thankfully explained: "They did not see any signs of crime."
She added that the authorities would not be pursuing the reasoning behind the room's existence: "They did not see anything that looked like DNA or evidence that needed to be collected.
"But they were really impressed with how the room was hidden, and thought it was really cool."
