Is anyone following the buried rug story on tiktok?

Why all the hours of standing around? How long does it take to get a investigative team out there? 6 dudes standing around joking and laughing. Nice job if you can get it.

Well you can't just write that without giving any other details!

I actually just told the story in the UAP/NHI thread thats also in Off Topic.

Not this poster but I found it annoying that they didn't just copy and paste. So here it is:

Ok - I apologize if this goes long. When I was in college I interned for my cousin who owned a CPA firm. After college I had planned on moving to Austin. My cousin had purchased her grandmothers house about 50 miles from Austin and offered to let me stay in it rent free until I found a job and my own place. It helped her out because she lived in Houston and had no one to watch over her place while she wasn’t there. The house was craftsman style and was probably built around 1910.

Anyway, my gf and I moved in on Sunday. That following morning at 3:00 am our bed started shaking like crazy. Its almost like someone had their foot on the edge of the bed were just shaking the shit out of it. I reached back and put my hand on my gf and she was completely still and asleep. This was something that would happen almost every night.

Another thing that would happen are items that I had at hand would instantly go missing. For instance, I was working on my car in the garage, I’d set a wrench down for a second, reach back down for it and its completely gone. I’d look under the car, in the car, around the car until I’d get frustrated and get something else I could use. Then, when I’d go back, the wrench would be right where I left it. This is just one example but its like something was actively standing right near me, f’ing with me and it happened regularly.

I hadn’t mentioned any of this to my gf because I was leaving when it was still dark to drive into Austin for work and I didn’t want to freak her out. On Wednesday night she was pretty upset and told me that we needed to talk. She said that the bed had been shaking at night and when she’d come home during the day all of the lights, TV, fans, etc would be on and at full volume. She said that she turns everything off when she leaves and we’re the only people with a key. I told her I noticed the bed shaking too and it freaked me out a little.

The next morning I was up early getting ready for work and I saw somebody walk by the open bathroom door right in front of me. I assumed it was her messing with me because of the conversation we had the night before. So I was going to catch her and scare her. I chased her through the bedroom, living room, dining room, kitchen - where she knocked over the trash can, through the utility room and back to our bedroom where she was still sound asleep. Not sure what I was chasing but they were fast because I ran full throttle and they were just exiting every room as I was entering it. Then they just disappeared.

So around 9 that night we started talking about it again and got freaked out. We moved out that night and in with my parents until I got an apartment.

I never told my cousin why we moved out. About 3 months later she came into Austin to take us to dinner and she said “Ok - I’ll tell you about the shit I’ve seen in my house if you tell me what you saw”. Lol.

Her home office is in a sunroom on the back of the house. She came to her office one morning and found things have been moved, and her screen on her Mac was shattered. Originally she posted blaming her family for doing it, but no one had done it, there was proof no one had been in there since the night before and so she joked maybe it was a ghost/haunted. Since they had already dug in the yard to start where the fence would be and found the rug, she joked oh, maybe it’s a ghost from whoever’s in the rug – just being flippant.

Also, she said her son often says he see skeletons in the closet but joked that’s also a thing little kids say.

I’m having a hard time believing that that occurred the way she said it did. And it was either completely made up or it was done by the hands of a living human.

As for the rug part, I am glued to my sub Reddit, hoping for an update.

It takes a while to excavate a few feet down over an area that large.

The house is not a new build. And the previous owners were the only owners.

Yes, I mean that part is obviously a coincidence. Could’ve been a loud bang/rumble outside that made something drop on the computer, etc..

I've been following since yesterday afternoon when a friend texted me that I needed to hop on her live.

Insane! And one dog's handler said that her dog was spending a lot of time on/around the deck area, too. So I bet they are going to rip that up to check.

I am not surprised. Lots of older people literally have buried skeletons. My cousin's grandpa had dementia and told some wild stories toward the end. "Oh, those are just nonsense stories!" is what his grandma said, but I don't think so. His grandpa was super racist. The n-word was part of his everyday vocab. He thought it was hilarious that he named his solid black dog the n-word so he could shout things like "here n-word, come here boy!" My grandparents both died before I was born and this cousin was born 2 weeks before me, so we grew up very close. Because of that, I often spent lots of time with him and his grandparents, especially during the summers. One of his stories was about how "in the good ol' days, if you was having a bad day, you could drink a sixer or two and then go blow off steam by finding the first sorry POS n-word to cross your pass and beat the hell of 'em." That's not a dementia story. That's a confession.

Just came across this thread which bled me to the People article and then to TikTok.

Quite the unraveling mystery. Can anyone explain why she rubs cream on her face while she is talking and she has her shirt on inside out and backwards. The story was interesting but I don’t get why she was washing her face while she talked.

I guess you’re not familiar with TikTok? Ha ha just kidding but seriously a lot of people do content while they’re getting ready. She often shows which product she’s using. It’s a way to make content while you’re getting ready at the same time and try to get commissions from the product you’re using. Also, her shirt was on inside out and backwards because she had to get dressed in the dark as she barely had any sleep and didn’t want to wake up her family, she discusses all of this in the videos I recognize not everyone has time to watch!

Cream rubbing is tiktok GRWM culture. (Get Ready With Me).

She got dressed in the dark and hasn't slept, thus the shirt issues.
