If you’re looking to move, house visits to possible homes are inevitable. This couple from Louisville, Kentucky visited a potential home, but the husband quickly noticed that something was terribly wrong with the house. His wife Olivia Cole didn’t want to listen to him at first, but we’re guessing she’s very glad that she eventually did.
The 37-year-old Olivia is a professional author, and she decided to use her talented writing skills to share her funny story about this house visit.
This house would fit right into a budget horror movie.
Even though this all sounds very serious, Olivia has written down her story in a hilarious manner over a couple of tweets. With over 30,000 likes and 20,000 retweets, Olivia definitely managed to receive a bit of Twitter fame.
Olivia thought they were going to visit a ‘cute bungalow’, and she cautiously fell in love with the place. That is until her husband started noticing some weird things…
“Join me for this story”, Olivia writes in her first tweet. “My husband and I just moved to Louisville and we hate our apartment. So we’ve been checking out new places to rent. Today we had a showing.”
“We really want more space so have been checking out rental homes. Today we saw this cute older house. A bungalow.”
Her husband can’t help but notice that the place looks a bit creepy, but Olivia herself thought it was cute.
“It rained last night so the outside is a little gloomy. Older house. Wet stone. My husband is like “Eh it’s a little creepy.”
“I’m all “No! it’s just rainy! It’s cute!” So the agent starts giving us the tour.”
Then the couple spots weird object number one, or rather, Olivia’s husband spots it.
“First thing we notice is this weird grate thing inside.”
“I say “we.” No. My *husband* noticed. I was admiring the crown moulding and he was like “Um, what is this?” *points*”
The real estate agent assured him that it was just a part of the air conditioning system, but the man wasn’t convinced.
Agent: “Oh that’s just the return vent for the AC.”
Me: “Oh okay!”
Husband: “Why does it look like the bars to a dungeon?”
As you can see in the screenshot above, Olivia likes to entertain her Twitter followers with fitting pictures and GIFs, which only add to the funny story.
“We move along in the tour. We check out the kitchen. It’s tiny and I cook a lot, so even I was like, “hmm.” Husband notices something.”
“What are these scratches on the window?”
Agent: “Oh, I think it’s tough to open so probably a little wear and tear.”
Me: “Oh okay!”
As you can expect, the husband is still completely unconvinced and is starting to think they stepped into the demon’s lair.
Olivia isn’t having any of her husband’s stubbornness, and still thinks it’s a potential home for them.
“We check out the upstairs. Perfect room for a nursery. Master bedroom is smallish, but nice big closet.”
This story sounds like it’s the script of a comedy horror movie as the man once again finds something fishy.
Husband *inspecting closet*: “Um…what is this little door inside the closet?”
Agent: “What little door? Oh. I didn’t notice that.”
The man already started thinking what kind of horrifying things he’d find on the other side of the room.
“Husband opens the door. It’s a tiny dark room.”
Husband looks at me, whispers: “It looks like that s*** from Get Out, Olivia.”
If you’ve seen the movie, you can definitely see where this is heading. The couple proceeds to the basement, but the husband remains vigilant.
Agent: “Let’s check out the basement next, shall we?”
Me: “Okay!”
Husband: “I mean…”
“We go to the basement.”
When they find a strange door with multiple locks, it appears to be the final straw for Olivia’s husband.
“It’s very clean and not super dark. Lots of shelving. Couple chairs. And a door in the very back. It has three padlocks & a sliding lock.”
Husband immediately: “What does that door go to?”
Agent quickly: “Oh, I don’t think it goes anywhere. We don’t have a key.”
Me: Ok!
Agent: “I think it goes to the backyard.”
Husband: “Why is it locked? With like 10 locks?”
Apparently, the agent is flabbergasted and doesn’t know what to say. The agent then quickly diverts the attention to the backyard.
Agent: “Let’s check out the backyard, shall we?”
Me: “Okay!”
Husband: “Lord Jesus.”
It seems that Olivia is finally realizing that this house probably isn’t as cute and friendly as she first thought.
“We go to the backyard. It’s so cute. Rosebushes. Hostas and [stuff]. Firepit.”
“There’s a latticework thingy that hides the underside of the house. I see a door. Me: See? There’s the door! It just goes to the backyard!”
“Husband: You realize that door is on the opposite side of the basement. (points at blank wall) That’s where the locked door should be.”
When she realizes that it wasn’t the location of the locked door, she started to side with her husband, and the whole thing is just absolutely hilarious.
“And he was right. The door I was looking at had a window into the basement. The place where the Devil-locked door should have been was empty”
The agent was trying to convince them to get the place, but we’re pretty sure that the couple is happy they didn’t.
Agent: “We take online applications as well as paper. <goes over the details.>
Me: “Uh…okay.”
“We get in the car. Drive away down the gray empty street. I say,”
“‘So…what did you think?'”
It’s safe to say that her husband wasn’t convinced. After she realized that his concerns were valid, she decided to hilariously rant about their funny home encounter on Twitter.
“All of us have seen the movie where the white woman is making dumb a** decisions & ignoring EVERY SIGN OF THE DEVIL’S HANDIWORK.”
“Well, everyone. Today. Today I was that white woman.”
“The devil almost got me for some rosebushes and a built-in china cabinet.”
“I was almost signing a 12 month lease with The Conjuring bc my white a** got taken in by some original hardwood floors & a porcelain tub”
The woman is even taking precautions now!
“Considering lighting sage in case the Devil saw my dumb a** swooning over a screened-in verandah and decided to follow me home.”
“Pray for me. But more importantly….pray for my husband for marrying my dumb a**.”
“Fin.”
However, this story does have a happy ending.
The two lovebirds managed to find a new place that wasn’t haunted and has already moved in to their new cosy home.
“Moved into our new place today,” she wrote in a follow-up tweet.
“It doesn’t appear to be haunted.”
“If I start tweeting about loving Satan soon tho, you know what happened.”
