This chick climbed through a hole hidden behind her bathroom mirror and what she found is beyond creepy.

American TikToker Samantha Hartsoe - loved for her quirky adventures and self-deprecating content - shared the chilling experiencewith her 863K followers.

"I'm in my New York City apartment, and it's cold. So I walk into my bathroom, right here I feel cold air blowing on me. There's not a vent or anything."

She then feels the bathroom door frame and discovers there's cold air blowing through the door handle hole in the frame.

So what does she do? She tapes it up saying, "I don't know why there's cold air coming through here but we're not having it."

But even after taping up the hole, cold air continues to create a draft through her bathroom.

"I stand here, and look, look at that! You can see my hair blowing in the cold wind."

"The air is coming from the mirror, and I realize the mirror moves."

Turns out the mirror comes off the wall, and behind it is a giant hole in the plaster which seemingly leads to an entire abandoned room.

"Let me show you what I found. There's a room back there," she says.

Her roommate speculates, "Yo, what if someone's living in there right now?".

Despite it looking dark, cold and creepy AF, Samantha dons a facemask, flashlight and hammer (for protection, obviously) and climbs through the hole in the wall.

What she discovers on the other side is mindboggling.

There's a WHOLE OTHER APARTMENT back there!

Not just one little random room, but a whole 3 or so bedroom apartment.

Samantha boldly explores the hidden residence, claiming that it's "freezing" and there seems to "signs of life".

She then wraps up the video by arriving safely back in her own home.

While there was little explanation behind the mysterious flat, the TikTok sensation certainly poked fun at the absurdity.

harry potter 20th anniverary reunion return to hogwarts australia

Harry Potter fans have been treated to a special sneak peek of the 20th Anniversary Reunion, with the official trailer being released for "Return to Hogwarts" before its release on New Years Day.

The two minute trailer gives fans an invitation to join Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and other beloved cast members as they reflect on the journey of the iconic franchise.

The trailer begins with Daniel Radcliffe, and Emma Watson returning to the set with Radcliffe narrating, "Think of a powerful memory. Make it the happiest you can remember."

Emma Watson greets her fellow cast members and reflects, "It feels like no time has passed, and loads of time has passed."

As we see a montage of cast members at the reunion, Rupert Grint says, "I think this is the perfect time to sit down with everyone and reminisce."

Sitting down and talking to the camera, Daniel Radcliffe explains he thought the end of the franchise meant the most meaningful thing in his life would come to an end, but that wasn't the case. He says, "The thing that scared me the most was the implication that the most meaningful thing in our life was done. And theres something something so joyous about seeing everyone, and be like, "It wasn't though."

We then see Helene Bonham Carter, who plays Bellatrix and she explains one of her highlights of filming. She says, "One of the highlights of my part was when I had to pretend to be Hermione pretending to be Bellatrix. I've still got the teeth actually."

Voldemort actor Ralph Fiennes, then explains what happened when his sister found out about his casting, "My sister has children who were then around 10, 11, 12, and I said, "Martha, I don't know about this Voldemort." "What? You're being asked to play Voldemort?!" "You've got to do it!"

Seeing the three main characters seated together, fans see how close the cast have become during the journey. Radcliffe says, "I wouldn't be the person I am without so many people here."

"It's a very heartwarming thing, cause I've watched you grow up and I've seen kind of every stage of your life," adds Grint.

Watson continues, "When things get really dark, and times are really hard, there's something about Harry Potter that makes life richer. It's a strong bond that we'll always have.

Grint finishes thoughtfully, "We're family. We will always be part of each other's life."

Harry Potter alumni joining the special tribute include Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane, Ralph Fiennes, Jason Isaacs, Gary Oldman, Tom Felton, James Phelps, Oliver Phelps, Mark Williams, Bonnie Wright, Alfred Enoch, Ian Hart, Toby Jones, Matthew Lewis, Evanna Lynch, producer David Heyman and filmmakers Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuarón, Mike Newell and David Yates.

In Australia, Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts will be available on Foxtel, launching 1st January.

In the lead up to Christmas, RSPCA's chief vet is urging pet owners to be cautious of this extremely dangerous treat.

We're deep in the festive season, and if you love your fur baby as much as we love ours than you'll no doubt be spoiling them with a stocking of treats.

However, when purchasing your pooch's gift be sure to proceed with caution.

A widely popular dog snack - that's available all year round but particularly popular around Christmas - is being deemed as 'extremely dangerous' by one of Australia's most respected vets.

Dr Liz Arnett, Chief veterinarian for RSPCA NSW, spoke to 7 News about the well liked dog treat that should be given with caution.

Sure, you already knew that snacks like chocolate and raisins aren't good for your dog, but did you know that rawhides also pose a threat to your pet?

Rawhide dog chews are one of the most popular types of dog treat. They are made from the dried skin of cattle hides which are then crafted into snacks of varying sizes and shapes.

While rawhides can be a great natural treat to keep your pup busy and entertained, Dr Arnett is urging pet owners to avoid opting for the cheap varieties.

“The low quality ones are filled with chemicals and can fall apart very easily inside a dog’s stomach and cause major problems.“

Not only can rawhide chews pose serious choking hazards by causing an obstruction in your dog's digestive system, but are also linked to gastrointestinal problems including vomiting, diarrhea or constipation.

When picking a present for your pooch this year, Dr Liz Arnett is encouraging us to be mindful of this.

“You want to choose things that are easily durable, and yes they may be a bit more expensive but they are going to keep your dog entertained for much longer compared to ones that just fall apart."

A post from a concerned Aussie pet owner, whose dog almost lost his life to rawhide treats, shares a note of caution to fellow dog owners.

"We nearly lost our 2 year old pooch due to him having a very large blockage in his stomach."

"Rawhide is not digestible so can build up in the stomach and also cause damage to the intestine."

"If we hadn’t taken him to the emergency vets on Sunday where they operated straight away it could have been a very different outcome."

Charlie is now on the mend but may have to have another operation as he has damage to his intestine."

The couple spent close to $2,000 to save their dog, but are aware that not everyone would have the finances to do the same.

"The vets bill came to 1600 which luckily we could pay and claim back on our insurance but not everyone could afford this."

According to RSPCA's Knowledge Base, "if you want to feed treats, veterinary researchers advise to use:

  • a small portion of commercial dog food; or
  • an appropriate and safe morsel of human food; or
  • home-made treats prepared under veterinary advice

If you are using commercial treats, then it would be wise to limit these to occasional use, for example, a small treat once or twice a week."

She's discovered a secret on Kmart shelves that one commenter described as "Pandora at Kmart" and left another saying "How has Pandora not sued"!

Check out the major discovery here at only $15.

It turns out that the "Hidden Secrets" range of Jewellery contains "Crystals from Swarovski".

This could be the ultimate way to get out of Christmas gifts on the cheap this year with the receiver being none the wiser.

As she says in the one-minute-long video "The fact they have Swarovski in it, that's brilliant".

TikTok user Max even commented with, "wow, they are so gorgeous I have to look next time, my daughter would love these bracelets".

Good on you for sharing it with everyone "goodtimes_noodlesalad". We can't wait to see what you find out next.
