A woman took to TikTok to share the moment she discovered a secret room in her new house, a decision she later regrets.
In the video, which currently has 3.4 million views, she explains: "We bought this house a few months ago and we’ve been slowly cleaning out different cabinets and closets. I was working on this one and as you can see, the old lady that lived here saved everything."
She adds: "But I noticed that this moved and looking into it, I can see there’s a space back here. So my kids said I should tape it while moving it and see what’s back there."
The first thing Rooney comes across when she peeks into the hidden room is a sinister-looking doll, prompting her to gasp.

"There’s no one home right now so I don’t think this is such a good idea but I am dying to see what is back here," she says while recording her findings.
Rooney comes across all sorts of things including eerie-looking dolls, china, and old clothes.
Months later, she posts yet another video in the hidden room, captioned: "I think the secret room should have stayed hidden."
Rooney films several boxes comprised of items from the room. These include a box of china, watches, and old coins.
The woman then tells TikTok viewers that she plans to "lock this room back up" and leave it to "who it belongs to" - that is, the creepy dolls.
