A woman on TikTok, Katie Santry, made a startling discovery while digging in her backyard, finding a rug buried two and a half feet below the surface. The incident quickly went viral, sparking speculation that the rug may contain human remains.

In a 22-part TikTok series that’s amassed over 10 million views, Santry shared her findings and the ongoing investigation at her home in Columbus, Ohio.

Upon discovering the rug, Santry contacted the police, but they were unable to provide resources without more information. She was hesitant to continue digging due to previous damage to her property, including a tree worth $1,000.

However, two days later, a separate group of authorities arrived with cadaver dogs, which alerted in the area of the rug—suggesting the presence of human remains.

Santry documented the scene, expressing shock as the area was taped off as a potential crime scene. Although the cadaver dogs’ reaction could be triggered by something as minor as a trace of blood, the investigation remains ongoing, with no definitive answers yet about what the rug contains.

The TikTok community has played a key role in pushing for action. One commenter said, “There’s obviously a body in that rolled-up carpet.” Another remarked on the potential implications for a missing person case, stating they wouldn’t be able to rest without knowing what was inside the rug.

Santry speculated on an eerie connection to her home, recounting unexplained events such as her office being mysteriously rearranged, a shattered laptop screen, and strange occurrences involving a “bloodgood” tree planted where the rug was buried.

She also revealed that her next-door neighbor passed away the same day she moved into her house, adding to the strange series of coincidences.

Santry reached out to the original owners of the house, including 95-year-old Myron Weil, who couldn’t recall anything unusual being buried in the yard. He speculated that the rug might have been mistaken for a burlap bag, joking that he hoped they found treasure instead.

Despite police reassurances, TikTok users have advised Santry to get legal representation, warning that investigations can take unexpected turns. While no official accusations have been made, many have urged her to protect herself, just in case the investigation leads to further developments.
