If only these floors could talk.
A homeowner sent viewers figuratively heading for the hills after making a bone-chilling discovery under the floor of her 250-year-old domicile.
“I can’t believe what I found,” the content creator exclaimed in the caption of the eerie video, which boasts over 9 million views on TikTok.
The woman, who goes by @hauntedamelia on the platform, explained that she noticed that one of the floorboards rattled when she walked on it because nothing was holding it in place.
But when the TikTokker peeked beneath the plank to see where she could nail it down, she discovered some unique objects protruding from the dirt below.
One of them was an Edward VII 1904 penny — a cool but fairly common cent-piece that was minted during the British monarch’s reign from 1901-1910.
But then she noticed a peculiar rectangular object “wedged underneath” some older floorboards.
The footage shows the domestic archaeologist brushing the soot off the mystery object like Indiana Jones exhuming a long-lost artifact.
After a prolonged period of dusting and yanking, she finally manages to wrench the “filthy” item free, revealing that it’s an ornate book with robust, gold-colored pages.
“How long do you reckon it has been there?” pondered Amelia, who regularly shares videos of her macabre finds for her 43,000 TikTok followers. “It’s definitely a book, but they’re not actual pages — they’re really thick.”
The contents of the spooky tome initially appeared innocuous enough, comprising a collection of “old portraits,” the Brit explained in the clip.
But things took a “creepy turn” the deeper she went into the book.
Amelia said she was shocked to find what looked like a “very old” photo of her house while the rest of the album was filled with photos of empty rooms shrouded in dark shadows.
As of yet, the story behind this “unsettling” photo compendium seems unclear, but TikTok viewers warned her to leave it be lest she inadvertently resurrect a malevolent entity.
“PUT IT BACK,” commanded one viewer, while another claimed that this is “how most horror movies begin.”
Meanwhile, other viewers compared it to the Necronomicon from the “Evil Dead Franchise” and the grimoire, a magician’s manual for invoking demons and the spirits of the dead.
Despite their words of warning, Amelia said she vows to search the area for “more hidden items.”
“I can’t help but think what else is buried under the floorboards,” she intoned.
