Husband Notices There’s Something Not Right About The House His Wife Wants To Rent, Stops Her Before It’s Too Late

If you’ve watched a couple of horror movies, you surely can recognize some of the telltale signs that things are just not going to end well. And it’s more than frustrating when characters in scary films are completely oblivious to the key cues and situations that eventually lead to their demise. Unfortunately for this clueless woman, her senses were blinded by porcelain bathtubs and hardwood flooring.
Last May, Olivia A. Cole, a 37-year-old author from Louisville, Kentucky, shared her hilarious cautionary tale on Twitter where it went viral with over 30k likes and shares. The author recalled a story when she and her husband went house-hunting and ended up being shown around one particular “cute bungalow.” We all know what it’s like when you really like a place, you immediately begin to imagine where all your stuff will go, how nice the fireplace is and oh! We could make a little vegetable garden in the back yard! The negative aspects, like the fact that it may have been the scene of multiple heinous crimes, are conveniently overlooked.
Inside the house, it seemed like all the well-known horror tropes unfolded into many tiny red flags, but Cole pokes fun at herself for being “that white woman” from horror movies that is utterly unaware of the signs of “devil’s handiwork.” Her creative use of GIFs add to a very modern form of storytelling, and the tale unfolds in such a way as to keep you scrolling to the very end.
Scroll down below to read her full story and you will know what warning signs to look out for on your next house hunting quest!

Well that story went nowhere.
I suspect it was an old prison house and either the agent didn't tell them, or she was ignorant and didn't research info about the place she was offering to her clients. I'd rent the house for like, a month, just to find out where the goddamn door went.
The house I grew up in had several things that were odd. We had two doors that seemingly went nowhere. One was an old coal cellar locked off because cold drafts blew out of it. The other door was an old cellar-way door that hadn't been opened in 2 generations. A door in the back of a closet was an access door to service the dumb waiter. Another sliding panel in the parlor had a handle in it to open/close the heat damper. I suspect the odd doors etc in the house they were looking at have very simple explanations.
It's tempting, i'm curious as heck, but those stories usually end with a trail of blood to the *still* locked and bolted door and the text "And he/she was never seen again "

Ageed! I thought at least they researched and found out it was an 19th century insane asylum or something.
No, that was a very funny interlude...lighten-up people, damn....

Because those who saw it to the end can't tell stories anymore.
I wanna know where the doors go!!! 😞😲
I would have liked to see photo's of the mentioned creepy doors, rooms and windows! That would have made the story more exciting than the gifs.
There wouldnt be pictures to a MADE UP STORY
TO NARNIA // husband: you wish...
The most I got out of this story was that you're a white woman- because you repeated it 8,000 times. Point is?
She wanted to say that her husband is black but is too afraid to look kinda racist
somebody seems to have her brain washed that because she is white she is of course stupid
Rose, can you rephrase this please?
Was afraid to look kinda racist??? Who does that become the case though?? The fact that her husband is black, isn’t the main point of this. It’s the fact that her way of thinking was very white. Even she says so. There are things that black people do, that one can say “that’s a black person thing to do” that’s not you being viewed as a racist, but pointing out the fact that most black people do it, and not many white people do it. Soooo mentioning that her husband was black, didn’t seem relevant to what she is telling us. But that’s just me saying🤷🏾♀️
Such a white woman way of Thinking too
David, that may be the way you think but honestly, not everyone who thinks like you even goes there.
She just wanted to point it out (repeatedly) because it's always some dumbass white chick that gets killed in the horror movies (right after the token black kid). Now, I just want to point out that because 1) Yes, I am a white chick. I'm just not a dumbass. AND 2) The dumbass white chick is usually 17, so this author must be one of those "special" white chick dumbasses. PLEASE do not lump all us white chicks together. Some of us know to avoid the fucking creepy basement, especially when the light switch doesn't work.
Must also be blond Why mention their couleur. What's the point? Frankly don't understand this post.
Self deprecation at it's best.
actually no Samantha, it is ridiculous to keep pointing out race and it's annoying as h*ll she does it repeatedly trying to be funny and furthermore it now only okay to repeatedly mention white people. If I say black people like their chicken and waffles and kool aid and grape soda and watermelon it is also true and still offensive. Likewise, this is stupid bs
It's a horror movie trope... just like teenagers staying in a house in the woods.
Well, apparently you and all those people who upvoted your post have no sense of humor. Get over the white lady part, that's not even relevant to the hilarity of the story....unless you just hate white people.
