Many people have very specific fears that lead them to take extra precautions to feel safe. One common example is the fear of finding something inside the toilet. That’s exactly the fear a Texas woman described in a video she shared, explaining that she always checks inside the toilet before using it. That habit turned out to be a good one, because her fear quickly became a reality. In the video, she flipped the camera to reveal a terrifying sight inside the toilet bowl. What appeared to be a strange creature was sitting at the bottom. Clearly shaken, she asked, “What the hell is that?” As she zoomed in closer, the situation became even more unsettling. The mysterious creature appeared to have eyes, and what looked like whiskers could be seen as well, making the discovery even more disturbing.
Thankfully, the Texas woman later shared an update. “Scarred for life officially,” she said at the start of the follow-up video. She went on to explain that she initially tried to remove the creature herself, but quickly realized she couldn’t do it alone. That’s when her niece’s boyfriend came over to help. According to the woman, he shut off the water and put on gloves before carefully pulling the object out of the toilet. What began as a terrifying mystery soon turned into a sad discovery. The strange creature was actually an adult squirrel. Sadly, it had already died, likely due to the water in the toilet. Afterward, people speculated that the squirrel may have entered through a vent or pipe connected to the bathroom. In a third update, the woman said she wished she could have saved it. On a more positive note, she added that she plans to have someone inspect her home to find out how the squirrel got inside so that nothing like this happens again.
People Reacting to the Texas Woman’s Terrifying Discovery
A lot of people were just as terrified as the Texas woman after they saw her initial video. Since it wasn’t identifiable at first, one person commented on the details they could already see as they said, “It has whiskers??? I thought it was a turtle or something until I saw those.” Another person guessed what it was and wrote, “It’s definitely a nutria on its back, but still.” Well, that was a wrong guess. Others left comments saying that this particular video made it clear that there is no such thing as an irrational fear. “Babe your fear isn’t irrational,” one person wrote. Someone else said, “This video proves that there is nothing weird or irrational about your fear…”
One TikTok user also found it weird that the Texas woman remained calm while filming. “You are much calmer than i would have been. I would have called the fire department in 2.5 seconds,” they wrote. That definitely deserves some praise. When she revealed it was a dead squirrel, many people felt sad. “Poor little guy got stuck and drowned. That’s really sad, but also scary,” one person wrote. Another person said, “That poor squirrel. Man. It drowned. Life is brutal.” Someone else added with crying emojis, “He could see the way out but just couldn’t get there.” Hopefully, it didn’t suffer for a long time.
