A woman from the US has made some haunting discoveries after she decided to visit an abandoned funeral home with her boyfriend. The pair went viral on TikTok.
Gaby, 25, who is well known online for exploring abandoned buildings, visited an old funeral home, including an embalming room where dead bodies would be prepared.
In the chilling room where deceased bodies would lie, Gaby found a number of horrific objects, including a bloodied bucket, which was used to catch the bodily fluids of the dead.
"It felt especially chilling to see the porcelain embalming table in the centre of the room knowing how many deceased individuals once laid upon it", Gaby said.
"Additionally, a cabinet in the room contained an assortment of items used in preparing the bodies for viewing. This included bottles of embalming fluid, make-up for the bodies, clothing, and even eye caps which are used to keep the eyes of the deceased closed".
She added: "Exploring this funeral home was something I had really been looking forward to for a very long time.
The video, which has racked up more than 145,000 views and 19,000 likes, left many viewers "nauseous" by what remained of the old funeral home.
A woman from the US has made some haunting discoveries after she decided to visit an abandoned funeral home with her boyfriend – with the pair going viral on TikTok.
Gaby, 25, who is well known online for exploring abandoned buildings, visited an old funeral home, including an embalming room where dead bodies would be prepared.
In the chilling room where deceased bodies would lie, Gaby found a number of horrific objects, including a bloodied bucket, which was used to catch the bodily fluids of the dead.
"It felt especially chilling to see the porcelain embalming table in the centre of the room knowing how many deceased individuals once laid upon it." Gaby, whose video has racked up over 145,000 views, told NeedToKnow.Online.
"Additionally, a cabinet in the room contained an assortment of items used in preparing the bodies for viewing.
"This included bottles of embalming fluid, makeup for the bodies, clothing, and even eye caps which are used to keep the eyes of the deceased closed.
"We started our exploration by making our way through the funeral parlour and chapel where services for the deceased would be held.
"Interestingly, the seats were still arranged and set up to face a display casket at the front of the room.
"I had never seen an abandoned casket before and this one looked particularly eerie, with a thick coating of dust and the top slightly ajar enough just to peer inside."
Gaby and her boyfriend Sonny, 26, also came across a small apartment which was sat above the funeral home.
The once-loved home was filled with personal belongings such as photographs, clothing, and knick knacks - Gaby thinks it was once owned by the funeral home director.
She said: "While sifting through the upstairs apartment we found what could very likely be the funeral director's walker in their kitchen, sitting in silence as a reminder of their past presence.
"I felt pure excitement while looking around this location.
"Exploring this funeral home was something I had really been looking forward to for a very long time.
"I was quickly mesmerised by all the supplies left behind, in particular the embalming fluids and tools left in the embalming room."
Gaby posted her haunting discoveries on Tikok and her video soon started to spread.
In the video - which is captioned "the fact that embalming fluid bottles were still here…" - you see a montage of eery clips from Gaby's visit.
Accompanied by a haunting backing track, you first see an image of the embalming table, with a text box which reads "we found the embalming room while exploring an abandoned funeral home".
This is then followed by numerous clips of her findings, including a video of the embalming bucket swinging from side to side.
You then see pictures of a cupboard which was still full of embalming products, Gaby wrote "this cabinet was full of so many products which were once used by the mortician, now it all rots away"
The video, which has racked up more than 145,000 views and 19,000 likes, left many viewers "nauseous" by what remained of the old funeral home.
One person said: "This is actually really cool but makes me nauseous."
"Yeah if that's blood in the fluid bucket and not rust, that looks a bit too fresh" another one wrote.
Someone else said: "The bucket, they didn’t even clean it out."
"I’d die if i was in there," added another user.
One viewer wrote: "You prolly have some spirits attached to you now."
"Imagine the smell from the bucket" said someone else.
Gaby added: "I was most surprised by the fact that the embalming room was still intact and contained an embalming table, as many abandoned funeral homes have their embalming tables removed prior to abandonment.
"It was also unexpected that the table was made of porcelain since this is typically only seen in more dated funeral homes."
