Regardless of age, being home alone can provoke a sense of unease. From the slightest creak of a floorboard to the gentle sway of a curtain in the breeze, the mind can easily conjure up fears, even when rationality suggests there’s no cause for concern.
A frightening figure is seen in a video of a TikTok dancer who was alone at home.
We find ourselves darting around, flicking on lights, cocooning ourselves in blankets, and reaching out to friends via FaceTime for reassurance.
Perhaps this resonates with you, but the sentiment is familiar to many.
One individual who can relate is TikTok user Reu, recognized as @reubix_cube on the platform. He recently shared an unsettling experience after posting a seemingly innocent video of himself dancing to Doja Cat’s ‘Say So’.
Reu expressed feeling ‘stomach sick’ after uploading the ‘spooky’ video, mentioning in the caption: “lmao i’m home alone so i learned a tiktok dance. lov u doja but what has my life come to?”
However, it wasn’t his dance moves that grabbed his followers’ attention. Rather, at approximately the four-second mark, they spotted a shadowy figure lurking in the background on his stairs.
As the Canadian TikToker moved and began swinging his arms, the figure seemed to peek its head around the corner, albeit briefly.
His followers quickly noticed, with one person expressing, “The AMOUNT OF ANXIETY I have from his video.”
Some individuals reacted strongly, with one exclaiming, “Did everyone notice that in the background??” Another expressed frustration, saying, “It’s 3am, and I definitely didn’t need that right now.”
One person described how their heart sank, stating, “When I tell you my heart DROPPED.”
However, some remained skeptical, suggesting that Reu orchestrated the entire incident for the sake of going viral. They pointed out how his movements seemed designed to draw attention to the figure, especially since he mentioned being home alone in the video’s caption.
One commenter remarked, “The fact that he mentioned he’s home alone makes me doubt the authenticity of the video,” while another added, “Honestly, I might have believed it if he hadn’t specifically mentioned he was home alone.”
Later, Reu posted several videos updating his followers on the situation. Initially, he expressed gratitude for their concern, stating, “I’m feeling a bit queasy in the stomach right now, and I was in and out of sleep all last night.”
Can you really blame him? I would have considered moving countries.
In a subsequent interview with UNILAD, the TikTok star explained that while he was initially concerned that the figure “could have been a person,” he and his family soon dismissed that possibility after thoroughly searching the entire house.
In a subsequent interview, he expressed, “There’s really nowhere for anyone to hide.” Despite being 22 years old at the time, he mentioned he wasn’t concerned about the possibility of something supernatural inhabiting his house, stating, “The notion of this being something supernatural doesn’t unsettle me as I’ve encountered many paranormal occurrences while residing here (which has been my lifelong home).
“Emphasizing further, he remarked, “Nothing has manifested itself as harmful or malevolent, so I harbor no concerns.” Responding to allegations of fabricating the entire incident for attention, Reu remarked to UNILAD, “If I were to fabricate a video merely for virality, I would have perfected the dance or at least presented myself in a more composed manner.”
