Real estate agent details the signs that could help you spot a 'SECRET ROOM' in your home

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

Lauren Rockel, a realtor based in Grand Rapids, admitted that 'secret rooms are one of my absolute favorite things to find when I'm showing homes.'

She showcased an example of a hidden nook behind a cabinet in a house's bathroom - which, unsettlingly, also came with a direct view of the inside of the shower.

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

Lauren Rockel, a realtor in Grand Rapids, Michigan, revealed a 'secret room' she'd found in a house, with the hidden entrance behind a bathroom cabinet

After identifying visible hinges on the outside of a cabinet, Lauren discovered the entrance to the room - which she speculated might have been used for storage

To her unease, however, she realized the 'secret room' had a glass wall that looked directly at the inside of the shower

The tempered-glass block wall of the shower - as seen on the right - turned out to double as a window looking into the shower from the secret room

Lauren admitted that discovering secret rooms in her listings was one of her favorite things

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

After the entrance, the room veered sharply to the left - leading straight to a glass wall. 

'But look at how creepy this is!' the realtor added. 

She then demonstrated how someone in the hidden room could look directly into the shower through tempered-glass cubes that double as a panel enclosing the shower.

Viewers of the post shared a mix of interest and unease at the concealed space.

'My reactions: "Oh, cool!" … "Oh, no,"' one wrote, to which Lauren responded, 'Absolute same.'

'It was so cool until the window to the tub,' a second agreed. 

'Um... that's not a "secret room" that's from before secret camera era,' someone else suggested. 

Viewers shared a mix of reactions to the hidden room that, with its window looking into the shower, seemed to double as a voyeur's paradise

'I'd always think someone was hiding in there watching me,' another admitted. 

In a second example Lauren recently shared, she'd found yet another hidden room also, strangely enough, linked to a bathroom.

'I'm here to show yet another secret room, also in a bathroom,' she narrated, adding, 'This one is a lot more secret than the last I posted.'

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

'You open it up and here's this little built-in storage above the toilet - there's a little latch here,' she pointed out.

'What are you doing here latch?!

In a second example, Lauren revealed yet another bathroom-adjacent secret room - with an even harder-to-find entryway 

The realtor demonstrated how a latch on the bottom shelf was the instrumental clue that tipped her off as to the secret room's existence

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

Viewers again took to the comments to speculate on the nature and odd bathroom-adjacent placement of the secret room

'I gave it a little pull, and look at that! Another secret room in a bathroom. Very strange!'

'Not sure if there's just some space behind this wall in bathrooms pretty regularly or something? Where there's just like nothing there, so people are turning it into storage or secret rooms,' she speculated of the odd micro-trend she'd stumbled upon.

'But someone's definitely hanging out in here. I mean, there's a cot, there's books, there's art.

'There's even a light up on the wall so you can like sit back here and cozy up and read in your bathroom.

'I do think it's really fun that there's like this built-in storage that you have to crawl through and also climb on top of a toilet to get to.

'You could be hanging out in here to escape the kid or something.' 

Viewers again took to the comments to speculate about the room's uses.

'Creeepily placed panic room?' one offered.

'Secret reading nook! shhhh!' a second speculated.

'I feel like I would fall into the toilet for sure,' a third admitted - with Lauren confessing, 'I almost fell out of the lil cubby hole getting out of it.'
