A woman felt a cold chill entering her heated NYC apartment when she made a startling discovery. Samantha Hartsoe in her TikTok, recording her adventure in finding out the source of air from inside her house. Her investigations lead her to a hole behind her bathroom mirror. The hole leads to an empty two-storey apartment.
In a series of TikTok videos, Hartsoe first notices a cold feels in her bathroom, strong enough to blow wisps around her hair. Then she looks behind her mirror, revealing the concealed apartment. “You’re on the other side of the dimension!” her friend joked when she tries to enter the hidden apartment.
She went through the whole, armed with a hammer and makeshift headlamp. She found trash, an uninstalled toilet, and an empty water bottle.
“I was kind of expecting there to be somebody, especially with the water bottle being there. And that definitely put me on edge,” she said.
It is said that the management office will investigate. The presence of the apartment remains shrouded in mystery. Even her building managers do not fully understand.
For now, she is steering clear of her bathroom as much as possible. However, the extra space is something most New York City apartments residents wish for.
“I think everybody in New York has such small apartments, you don’t know what you’re going to find. And everyone’s hoping for more space,” added Hartsoe.
