A strange discovery in her own backyard has led Katie Santry, a 34-year-old resident of Columbus, Ohio, on a wild ride of viral fame. It all started when she and her boyfriend were working on their lawn, digging to install a new fence. That's when they unearthed a mysterious rug buried just beneath the surface. The couple was intrigued, but they didn't give it much thought at the time and simply set it aside.
However, a few days later, Santry noticed that her computer screen was broken and her desk was in disarray. Her boyfriend and their children claimed they had not been in the sunroom where the computer was located, and the doors were shut. This left Santry puzzled and frustrated, so she turned to TikTok for some suggestions on who could be behind the strange occurrences.
In one of her videos, Santry asked her followers, "Is there a dead body in that rug? Or is it the ghost of the rug's past?" She also mentioned that her next-door neighbor had passed away on the same day that she bought her home last October. These coincidental events fueled speculation and sparked the interest of many online users who were captivated by Santry's storytelling.
As Santry continued to document her experiences on TikTok, her videos gained millions of views. One of her most viewed posts was when she held a piece of a tree over the buried rug, jokingly suggesting that it could be a "bloodgood tree" planted on top of a dead body. Her quirky sense of humor and the mysterious nature of the buried rug captured the attention of many.
Despite her growing online fame, Santry's main goal was to uncover the truth behind the buried rug. With the help of her husband and her TikTok followers, they attempted to dig it out. However, the dry dirt and obstacles in their yard made it challenging. As Santry described, "We were just kind of messing with it and realizing this is just the tip of the iceberg. The rug looks like old-school shag carpet, and we didn't even know which direction to dig. Plus, we had trees and bushes in the way."
As her content went viral, police took notice and showed up at her doorstep. Santry was initially reluctant to involve law enforcement, but her husband convinced her to call for help. The officers arrived and assessed the situation, but they determined it was not worth the resources to dig out the rug.
However, with the mounting theories and speculations from her TikTok followers, Santry decided to livestream the police investigation. Yellow crime tape was placed around her yard, and officers began digging and testing the rug for human and animal remains. The results came back negative, but authorities did not rule out the possibility of blood being present on the rug.
Santry's dogs also added to the mystery when they were seen sitting over the hole where the rug was buried. Santry asked one of the officers if this meant something, to which they replied, "Usually." This furthered her suspicions and kept her followers on the edge of their seats.
After hours of digging and testing, police concluded that there was no body buried in Santry's yard. They suggested that the rug may have blood on it but assured her that there was no need for further testing. Despite not finding a body, Santry's story continues to intrigue and entertain many online. She remains open to the possibility that the rug may have a dark history, but for now, the mystery remains unsolved.
