Since launching in 2016, TikTok has grown to over 100 million users, giving rise to a whole new crop of social media influencers and trends. One of the latest fads highlights peculiar items TikTokers have stumbled upon in their homes. From sinister secret rooms to mysterious razor blades, read on for the most bizarre finds of the bunch.

1. An Abandoned Shower

In the process of renovating their newly bought house, one TikTok couple knocked down a wall and discovered a whole neglected shower. In their two-part video tour, they reveal that the seller had informed them that the long-forgotten area had been closed off due to a leaky drain pipe. The upside? Renovating the space into a full bathroom could help boost their home's value by 5.7% (or about $9,000), according to one Opendoor study.

2. A Hidden Room Behind The Bathroom Mirror

When a TikToker found a hidden room in her New York apartment, she went viral. Thousands of people viewed her four-part video saga, which documented her discovery of a creepy hidden space behind her bathroom mirror. In one of the clips she explains that she came across the strange nook after feeling a stream of cold air blowing into the room, despite it not having a window or a vent. Upon closer inspection, she discovers that the draft is coming from behind the wall mirror. She removes the built-in, only to reveal an eerie disused space riddled with electrical wires and chipped paint.

In the 1950s, most homes featured a small section built into the bathroom's medicine cabinet where you could dispose of your used shaving razors. Several TikTokers (including the one below) have consequently unearthed rusty blades inside their bathroom mirrors. Yikes!
