Imagine moving into a home and discovering an entire hidden room you never knew existed. Sounds exciting, right? But what if that room was tucked away behind a cabinet, covered in eerie handprints, and labeled the ‘Love Shack’? Suddenly, not so exciting—more like terrifying.
That’s exactly what happened to one TikTok user, @bigbrah1, who shared her spine-chilling discovery with her followers. And let’s just say, their reactions were not calm.
A Secret Room With a Seriously Creepy Vibe
In a now-viral TikTok video, she reveals how she stumbled upon the hidden space in her basement bathroom. To access it, she had to open a cabinet above the toilet—behind it, a small door led to a dimly lit crawl space. But it wasn’t just the fact that it existed that had people on edge—it was what was inside.

The walls were painted pink and green, covered in dozens of handprints and footprints. A mural on one wall ominously labeled the space the ‘Love Shack’, alongside childlike drawings of a car labeled ‘Love Bug’ and other doodles. To make things even weirder, the door locked from the inside—which raised a lot of questions.
Her caption for the video? A simple but unsettling: “What do I do?”
The Internet’s Verdict: MOVE OUT. NOW.
Viewers wasted no time offering their thoughts, and most of them involved running far, far away.
- “CALL THE POLICE!”
- “Nope. Move out. Burn the whole house down.”
- “Y’all know what a Love Shack is, right?!”

Others tried to take a less panicked approach, suggesting it could have been an innocent secret hangout for kids or teens. One user joked: “This was probably just a hideout for some sisters who liked the song ‘Love Shack.’”
But many weren’t convinced. “Tell the police, just in case it’s linked to something…,” one person wrote, while another said: “This whole thing makes me uncomfortable.”
So, What’s the Deal With the ‘Love Shack’?
In follow-up videos, the TikToker answered viewers’ biggest questions. She explained that her family had known about the room, but only recently cleared it out, revealing the creepy artwork underneath.
And no, she has no plans to call the police. As she put it:
“Girl, what the hell you want me to tell them?! ‘Hello, there’s a Love Shack in my house?’”

While she insists the space was likely meant for kids, she still finds it unsettling and doesn’t like going down there.
Now, the room has been repainted and repurposed as a storage space, and she demonstrated how she and her family access it—by stepping onto the toilet and climbing through the cabinet. Despite its new, practical use, most viewers agree: That hidden room still gives off major horror movie vibes.
Would you stay in a house with a secret room like this? Or would you grab your stuff and never look back? Let us know what you’d do!
