A woman has been told to call the police after making a seriously creepy discovery in a hidden crawl space within her home.

The unnamed woman has been sharing details of her home renovation with her followers on TikTok, and initially, everything seemed pretty unremarkable.

The user had shared footage of the time capsule decoration in the home, which is in the UK and was built in 1966, and which appeared not to have been modernised for many decades.

However, her followers were left seriously freaked out after she discovered a secret crawl space while gutting the home - and what was inside it had some urging her to phone the police.

In one video, the woman revealed that in an upstairs spare bedroom, there was a door with another door hidden directly behind it, behind which lay a curtain.

When she pulled the curtain away, she revealed that there was eaves storage under the roof, but added that she'd discovered yet another room hidden further in.

The woman was forced to crawl her way through with a torch to reach it, showing there was a row of bricks with a large space behind it, at the back of which she could see a battered silver suitcase wedged in the corner.

She ended up finding another access hatch hidden in one of the built-in wardrobes in another bedroom giving her a way to get into another part of the eaves storage.

This still didn't get her any closer to the case, however, as all she found within it was another cupboard that had been boarded up and sealed.

When her partner got home, the pair explored the cupboard together, which thankfully opened up to reveal the silver suitcase hidden beneath it.

The couple noticed that the case was a vintage Rimowa - which means they'll probably make a decent bit of money selling it on eBay - and that it was "light, so we didn't think there was a dead body" inside it.

Upon opening it, the couple found yet another Rimowa case stored inside it - but things got even more spooky when their dog came up to investigate and looked pretty on edge when it got near the case.

The inner pocket of the large case contained random detritus from past travels, including a pencil and a sweet, but the inner case held something far more freaky.

The pair opened it up to reveal a perfectly preserved old-fashioned doll, which had been strapped into the case using the luggage straps within it.

The dog was seen looking concerned as it stood near the "very disturbing" doll, and the woman admitted she "didn't know how to feel" about the creepy find.

Her followers definitely did know how to feel about it though, commenting: "1000% gonna have to call the police, seen too many thrillers."

Others added: "No no that doll is in there for a reason" and: "Sell the house.. that was double protected for a reason."

One pointed out: "The dog could feel the energy before they even opened it," while another added: "Na they locked it in there for a reason, we only just got into 2024 pleaseeeee put it back."

Many were concerned at the lengths someone had gone to to hide the doll in such an inaccessible part of the eaves, adding: "Why was it strapped in a case in a case through a door through a door through a boarded up wall?!", while another added: "I've seen this before It's the beginning of a horror movie."

Perhaps not unexpectedly, odd things started happening in the home as the woman added: "Since finding this disturbing doll, we have noticed a few strange things occurring.

"The electrics for instance, directly below where the doll was found, have started to flicker. Also, the thermostat has been making some questionable noises."

She did caveat that the strange occurrences may be just a coincidence as she couldn't find any more information on the doll when she tried to search it online.

However, some pointed out that it was a doll that would be placed over a spare toilet paper roll in the 1970s, so she revealed that it had "found a new home" in the property's old-fashioned pink bathroom for the time being, until the couple decides what they are going to do with it.

Personally, I'd be putting that right back where I found it and putting the house back on the market, but each to their own I guess...
