Anyone following the buried rug story on TikTok?

[1confused1]

I’ve been totally invested

[pixy0stix]

Wasn't there something a few years back about someone finding a buried locked box or something that was big enough for a body? Social media went crazy, police were called, and the box was empty?

It's entertaining how we all want a body to be found and all the hype leads to nothing.

I thought there were something about suitcases, but I thought it was here or HIH lol

I remember someone here/the old place digging up an old suitcase wrapped in duct tape; there was a dead dog in there.

Yes! This is what I was thinking about.

It’s interesting the dogs both smelled something, maybe a bloody rug??

[picksthemusic]

Remember my backyard suitcase? That was fun.

ETA: Yes, there was a dead dog in it from the previous owners.

YES. Thank you lol

Omg the algorithm is working overtime because I just saw this on my FB feed lol

Burying crap in your yard was a common practice, usually for construction debris. We have unearthed clay pots, bottles and cans, and carpet remnants.

[fangoriagurkel]

Maybe we should all start burying empty rugs and suitcases to continue the trend?

I was wondering the same or if there had once been a body on the rug that they were picking up.

This is giving Geraldo Rivera opening Al Capone’s vault live with millions watching to find….nothing.

LOL we just had to fill some holes in my in-laws yard and used broken clay pots. We jokes about archeologists finding it in 5,000 years and wondering if it was part of some religious ritual.

See, I think this is weird. Weren't those dogs specifically cadaver dogs? Wouldn't that mean they only hit if they detect decomposition?

I’m a true crime junkie and I’m wracking my brain trying to remember how it works with the dogs. I know there are dogs that detect former presence of a cadaver on a surface, like Casey Anthony’s trunk. I don’t know if some are trained to know the difference between that scent and an actual present body. I would think yes?

We have a broken Halloween skeleton that we’re putting the wall of our addition.

Coming from someone who had their shower torn down to the studs this week... please make sure it is obvious it is a fake. I wouldn't want someone to lose thousands if their contractor walked off a job. Or someone could have a heart attack.

Geraldo taught us this decades ago. I remember watching him opening Al Capone's secret vault on live tv as a kid fully expecting to see a room filled to the ceiling with gold bars and gemstones and Scrouge McDuck sitting on top cackling away. Talk about letdown.

Yea I don’t understand why anyone thinks this is a good idea. You are potentially putting a future homeowner through a ton of unnecessary stress and even expense.

Not to mention the waste of resources and time if it goes as far as the police investigating.


For the rug, I wonder if it could be something as innocuous as a family member keeled over and died of natural causes on the rug, and the family couldn't take looking at the rug where said family member died, so they buried it so they'd never have to look at it/think about it again.

Good point... I might have one of these stained rugs and need to be more careful when we get rid of it.

I’m shocked ! Shocked I tell ya!

[Bad Dingo]

I don't have tik tok, I found out via threads and then immediately went to the reddit page. I'm disappointed there wasn't anything, I wanted someone who'd been waiting to find out what happened to a loved one to get closer.

I don't know anything about cadaver dogs, but it definitely seems weird that they both signaled something being there.

I'm so sorry - I know how that is. Hopefully you have a wonderful shower once the work is done! We love ours now.
