TikTok Creator Warns Against 'Haunted' Thrift Store Items in Viral Video
An online personality known as Tati 👻, operating under the handle @tatiscreepystories, recently shared a video detailing items she advises against purchasing from thrift stores due to perceived paranormal risks. The video, uploaded on July 10, 2025, from the US, has garnered significant attention, accumulating over 2.2 million views. In her segment, the content creator outlines three categories of items she believes carry negative energy or are potentially 'haunted.' These include old weapons or knives, which she suggests might be linked to past violence or trauma, potentially causing nightmares for new owners. She also cautioned against buying used wedding dresses, asserting that they could transfer the 'luck' or fate of the previous bride to the new wearer. Lastly, antique rocking chairs were highlighted as potential vessels for 'restless spirits,' often associated with grief or loneliness. The video presents these claims as personal beliefs and warnings, drawing on common folklore and supernatural narratives rather than verifiable evidence. While popular among audiences interested in paranormal topics, the content falls outside the scope of factual news reporting.
