Author Olivia A. Cole was very close to being apart of a real life horror movie, and because of it created the greatest Twitter tale of all time. Cole took to Twitter to share her hauntingly captivating story or as she calls it “HGTV by Stephen King” about being the stereotypical white woman in horror movies that buys the creepy house in the woods oblivious to it’s horrific nature.
“So I may have done the whitest thing imaginable today. I never thought I would be this white woman..” she tweets.

My husband and I just moved to Louisville and we hate our apartment. So we've been checking out new places to rent. Today we had a showing.

We really want more space so have been checking out rental homes. Today we saw this cute older house. A bungalow. I was all pic.twitter.com/w8N5hBgH8N

It rained last night so the outside is a little gloomy. Older house. Wet stone. My husband is like "Eh it's a little creepy." pic.twitter.com/iHHpG7NCYq

I'm all "No! it's just rainy! It's cute!" So the agent starts giving us the tour.
First thing we notice is this weird grate thing inside.
— Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) May 11, 2017
I say "we." No. My *husband* noticed. I was admiring the crown moulding and he was like "Um, what is this?" *points*
— Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) May 11, 2017
Agent: "Oh that's just the return vent for the AC."
Me: "Oh okay!"
Husband: "Why does it look like the bars to a dungeon?"
Agent: pic.twitter.com/peolDuk2lK

We move along in the tour. We check out the kitchen. It's tiny and I cook a lot, so even I was like, "hmm." Husband notices something.
— Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) May 11, 2017
"What are these scratches on the window?"
Agent: "Oh, I think it's tough to open so probably a little wear and tear."
Me: "Oh okay!"
Him: pic.twitter.com/DJOgLCTKgi

We check out the upstairs. Perfect room for a nursery. Master bedroom is smallish, but nice big closet. Me right now: pic.twitter.com/Em1NQ2msmW
— Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) May 11, 2017
Husband *inspecting closet*: "Um…what is this little door inside the closet?"
Agent: "What little door? Oh. I didn't notice that." pic.twitter.com/PIk60dCYMY
— Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) May 11, 2017
Husband opens the door. It's a tiny dark room.
Husband looks at me, whispers: "It looks like that shit from Get Out, Olivia."
Me by now: pic.twitter.com/9c32VsbTNv
— Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) May 11, 2017
Agent: "Let's check out the basement next, shall we?"
Me: "Okay!"
Husband: "I mean…"
We go to the basement.
— Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) May 11, 2017
It's very clean and not super dark. Lots of shelving. Couple chairs.
And a door in the very back.
It has three padlocks & a sliding lock.
— Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) May 11, 2017
Husband immediately: "What does that door go to?"
Agent quickly: "Oh, I don't think it goes anywhere. We don't have a key."
Me: Ok!
Him: pic.twitter.com/4x4ISH3DXb
— Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) May 11, 2017
Agent: "I think it goes to the backyard."
Husband: "Why is it locked? With like 10 locks?"
Agent: pic.twitter.com/jZQJgi0vQM
— Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) May 11, 2017
Agent: "Let's check out the backyard, shall we?"
Me: "Okay!"
Husband: "Lord Jesus."
— Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) May 11, 2017
We go to the backyard. It's so cute. Rosebushes. Hostas and shit. Firepit.
Me, forgetting about the door locked to keep the Devil out: pic.twitter.com/bZrS4DmeAh
— Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) May 11, 2017
There's a latticework thingy that hides the underside of the house. I see a door.
Me: See? There's the door! It just goes to the backyard!
— Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) May 11, 2017
Husband: You realize that door is on the opposite side of the basement. (points at blank wall) That's where the locked door should be.
Me: pic.twitter.com/tn7X9Y6xqF
— Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) May 11, 2017
And he was right. The door I was looking at had a window into the basement. The place where the Devil-locked door should have been was empty
— Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) May 11, 2017
Agent: "We take online applications as well as paper. <goes over the details.>
Me: "Uh…okay."
Husband: pic.twitter.com/NVBYrVxoep
— Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) May 11, 2017
We get in the car. Drive away down the gray empty street. I say,
"So…what did you think?"
Husband: pic.twitter.com/nYzI0VFRpl

All of us have seen the movie where the white woman is making dumb ass decisions & ignoring EVERY SIGN OF THE DEVIL'S HANDIWORK.
— Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) May 11, 2017
Well, everyone. Today. Today I was that white woman.
The devil almost got me for some goddamn rosebushes and a built-in china cabinet.
— Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) May 11, 2017
I was almost signing a 12 month lease with The Conjuring bc my white ass got taken in by some original hardwood floors & a porcelain tub
— Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) May 11, 2017
Considering lighting sage in case the Devil saw my dumb ass swooning over a screened-in verandah and decided to follow me home.
— Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) May 11, 2017
Pray for me. But more importantly….pray for my husband for marrying my dumb ass.
Fin.
— Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) May 11, 2017
Note: A white woman replied to this thread and said "Well, a porcelain tub? Now I get it!"
See. We cannot be trusted. HGTV by Stephen King

@RantingOwl Y'all really can't be. I'm shocked he stayed through the whole tour with you. All of this read like #GetOut
— Johnetta Elzie (@Nettaaaaaaaa) May 11, 2017
@Nettaaaaaaaa Get Out meets The Conjuring. I'm over here chatting with the cryptic agent and he's looking for an escape route
— Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) May 11, 2017
Crazy, right? The story brought on countless reactions and major story plot points that you might not have noticed like figuring out that her husband was Black.
@RantingOwl This is too funny, I have one question, & I'm not being sarcastic, but is your husband black? Because his suspicion game is on point. pic.twitter.com/l2wfAxBsJI

@CarrieCnh12 lol yes he is. The only thing that saved us
— Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) May 11, 2017
