Chicago resident’s ‘Conjuring’-like basement: Woman dodges wires in spooky shared space and refrains from touching the ‘green’ door

Some places have the ability to send chills down everyone's spine - that one dark corner that makes our skin crawl, be it a creaky attic, a shadowy garage, or maybe a basement nobody wants to talk about.

A Chicago woman's clip of her underground lair has folks double-checking their own locks and swearing off laundry forever.

And it’s definitely more than all things spooky!

Meet Emmy Manisone

Emmy Manisone, a Chicago TikToker, went mega-viral with over 7 million views for her raw tour of a "shared basement" she uses to dodge laundry costs. According to the New York Post article, she grabs a baseball bat for safety before heading down, wide-eyed and wary.

"You don’t know what a scary basement is until you’ve been in mine," Manisone says in the video, capturing the pitch-black, unfinished space that feels ripped from a slasher film.

The creepy tour of the pitch-black basement!

She creeps down dim stairs into concrete corridors littered with random junk - be it a toy tank, a lone car tyre against the wall, old furniture, and tangled exposed wires she dodges like traps in a video game. Pausing at corners to check for threats, even the video feels mysterious and chilling.

In the laundry nook, she frets, “And then I gotta do my laundry in hopes that no one’s behind me - and I gotta do it quick!” according to the Post's coverage of her clip.

The real kicker comes in the form of an ominous green door she won't touch. No clue what's behind it, just a big no!

She bolts upstairs, bat in tow, leaving viewers spooked.

Social media freaks out with horror and mystery!

Comments poured in, matching her vibe. “This would have sent me back upstairs,” one wrote, while another joked, “What is a bat gonna do to a demon?”

Another wrote, “the number of human-shaped inanimate objects,” and continued, “You need to gather 10 people and check out that door.” Some compared it straight to The Conjuring's basement, with one saying, “Respectfully, leave us on the top stair next time.”

Practical advice? “Just buy new clothes every week. It’s not even that serious.” The mix of laughs, chills, and real worry shows why it hit big - every renter knows that basement dread.
