Haunted Rug Mystery Goes Viral, Woman Gains 2 Million TikTok Followers Overnight

The internet, specifically TikTok, has been sitting on pins and needles for the past week after Katie Santry who lives in Columbus Ohio posted a video saying she thought her house was haunted.

It all started when she found her computer shattered.

She explains that no one in her family ever goes in her office, and things were all out of place on her desk.

A few days later, her stepson says he woke up, and his phone was on 3%, which was strange because he remembered it being 100% changed before he went to bed.

Paranormal experts say that this is a common occurrence whenever your dwelling is haunted. It certainly didn't help these suspicions when she discovered a rug buried in her backyard while digging to build a fence.

She quickly realizes that this is a large rug around 6 feet long and won't be able to dig this up without some help. Katie started this Rug Saga with 6,000 followers and has now surpassed 2 Million followers.

Other TikTok users immediately started telling her to call the police and report it, and she did. They told her that she would need an excavator to dig the rug up if cadaver dogs 'hit' the spot when they brought them out.

Both dogs sat precisely where the rug was buried. Santry went live on TikTok, where she and 100,000 watched this unfold.

On October 4th, the police and investigators arrived to dig up the rug after a week of chaos and amassing millions of followers online who were all invested.

"They have recovered the hole and this has been the most absurd, insane experience of my life. What did they find? No, they didn't find a body, they found a mother effing rug with some rubber. The question remains of why the dogs sat. I don't know. Both dogs, not just one two. I don't know. The other question that remains is who broke my laptop."

So that is then? No body so surely everyone will move on with their lives and forget about the rug. Nope. TikTok is now flooded with different theories and people asking the same question, 'Why did two different cadaver dogs mark the spot?'

We may never know.

"I'm so confused," she continues. "There's no body, there's no body. Honestly, let's praise the Lord there's no body. I can stay in my house ... everyone knows where I live but at least it's not haunted."

"But the mystery of the effing rug has been solved, and there is no body, And they are doing a fine job of putting my stuff back up."
