A Michigan real estate agent has detailed signs she’s come across that can help you spot a “secret room” in your home.

Lauren Rockel, a Grand Rapids-based real estate agent, admitted that “secret rooms are one of my favorite things when I show homes.”

He showed an example of a corner hidden behind a cabinet in a home’s bathroom that, disturbingly, also had a direct view of the inside of the shower.

“I was showing this house, I turned the corner and I noticed some hinges on the outside of this built-in cabinet,” Lauren explained in a TikTok video.

'Look how creepy this is!' she exclaimed over the voyeur-friendly setup.

However, to his disquiet, he realized that the “secret room” had a glass wall that looked directly into the shower.

The tempered glass block wall of the shower, as seen on the right, also turned out to be a window looking into the shower from the secret room.

‘So naturally I had to give it a little tug. And sure enough, it’s a secret room, which is probably a storage room, but it’s still a secret room nonetheless.

After the entrance, the room turned sharply to the left, leading directly to a glass wall.

‘But look how creepy this is!’ added the real estate agent.

He then demonstrated how someone in the hidden room could look directly into the shower through tempered glass cubes that also function as a panel enclosing the shower.

Viewers of the post shared a mix of interest and concern about the hidden space.

‘My reactions: “Oh, great!” … “Oh no,” one wrote, to which Lauren replied: “Absolutely the same.”

“It was so cold until the bathtub window opened,” a second agreed.

‘Um… that’s not a “secret room” from before the era of secret chambers,’ someone else suggested.

“I always thought there was someone hiding there watching me,” another admitted.

In a second example Lauren recently shared, she had found another hidden room that was also, interestingly, connected to a bathroom.

“I’m here to show another secret room, also in a bathroom,” he narrated, adding: “This one is much more secret than the last one I posted.”

She demonstrated how, in the medicine cabinet above a toilet, a small latch appeared on the bottom shelf, hidden in the corner.

“You open it up and here you have a little built-in storage above the toilet; there’s a little latch here,” he said.

‘What are you doing here latch?!

In a second example, Lauren revealed another secret room adjacent to the bathroom, with an even harder-to-find entrance.

The second room Lauren highlighted was much less creepy than the first example, as it was filled with paintings, books, and a cot.

Viewers once again took to the comments to speculate about the nature and strange location of the secret room next to the bathroom.

‘I gave it a little tug and look at that! Another secret room in a bathroom. Very strange!’

‘Are you not sure if there is some space behind this wall in the bathrooms quite regularly or something?’ Where there’s just nothing, so people are turning it into storage or secret rooms,” he speculated about the strange microtrend she had stumbled upon.

But there’s definitely someone lurking around here. I mean, there’s a cot, there’s books, there’s art.

‘There’s even a light on on the wall so you can sit here and relax and read in your bathroom.

“I think it’s really fun that there’s a built-in storage space that you have to crawl through and also climb on a toilet to get to it.

“You could be here to escape from the kid or something.”

Viewers again took to the comments to speculate on the uses of the room.

‘A creepily located panic room?’ one offered.

‘Secret reading corner! shhh!’ a second speculated.

“I feel like I’d probably fall into the toilet,” a third admitted, with Lauren confessing: “I almost fell out of the little stall when I got out of it.”
