This Woman Discovered ‘Signs Of Life’ Behind Her Bathroom Mirror

A New York City resident was absolutely stunned when she stumbled upon a secret apartment tucked away behind her bathroom mirror. 

Samantha Hartsoe, 26, was going about her day in her three-bedroom apartment on Roosevelt Island when she felt a sudden chill in her bathroom. She soon discovered the source of the draft which emanated from behind the bathroom mirror! She documented the mystery on TikTok. 

When Samantha Hartsoe and her two roommates moved the mirror away from the wall, they were shocked to find a gaping hole in the wall it was affixed to. They initially assumed it was just a space for electrical cables, but upon further inspection, they got a spine-tingling surprise. 

Peering through the hole in the wall, they were taken aback by the sight of an empty room on the other side. It was like something out of the Oscar-winning movie Parasite – the idea that someone may be living mere inches away on the other side of the wall was deeply unsettling. 

Samantha Hartsoe was determined to find out what was behind the wall in her apartment. Ignoring her roommate’s protests, she forged ahead with a makeshift head-torch and a hammer in hand. 

Samantha Hartsoe was astonished when she stepped inside the adjacent apartment she had just uncovered. The rooms were stripped bare, with a discarded toilet, other debris and bags of trash strewn about. 

When Samantha Hartsoe began exploring the abandoned property, she was prepared for the worst. But after a thorough investigation of the two floors, she was relieved to find no one hidden inside. But the secret apartment she had discovered left the building’s management utterly nonplussed.
