Woman Discovers Strange Red Liquid Dripping From Her Wall

A woman was horrified to see that the walls of her bathroom were dripping a weird red liquid that online users believed must be “blood,” with some suggesting that it must be the work of ghosts.

The liquid was spotted by 30-year-old Lexy Chidester as it appeared next to her bathroom cabinet and dripped over the nearby plug sockets.

The woman was initially unconcerned about the strange discovery, excusing it away as a stain left by her “messy” brother, but the next day she was more worried when the red mark increased in size, giving the impression that the wall was “bleeding.”

Lexy was perplexed by what she was seeing, so she posted a video of her wall on Instagram (@lexyraye), where it has received over 6.2 million views.

Commenters have now advised Lexy to leave the house as her home may be haunted.

One person said: “Time to move.”

Another said: “You need to leave, Satan is coming for you.”

After sharing the video, Lexy set out to figure out what was going on in her bathroom. She even bought a kit for an at-home mould test to make sure the red liquid wasn’t a danger to her health.

She said, “I filmed the video to get someone’s opinion on what it was, and what to do because I didn’t understand what it was. I spoke with a plumber who talked me through what I was looking for in the pipe system if it was a leak.

“I climbed into the attic and looked for similar coloured goo or wet areas. I got an at-home mould kit to test for mould. There was a discussion of cutting into the wall, but that was the absolute last resort! I am not a handy person to know how to fix leaks, cut into walls, and check house wiring.

“After talking with my family, and ruling out everything it couldn’t be using deductive reasoning, the only place really unexplored more closely was the cabinet itself. It was the only thing that made sense.

“There weren’t pipes in that wall, the wood wasn’t ‘bleeding’ that same liquid, there was no trace of it in the wood frame, the attic was dry, the cabinet was the only place that made sense. My brother got pliers and helped me pull the metal back to see if there was anything under where the metal sheets overlapped.”

Fortunately, the mystery was cleared up when a number of commenters on her Instagram video shared that they had encountered a similar problem with their walls and that rust was the issue, not blood.

According to Lexy, “It was explained to me that condensation mixed with years of rust and no ventilation – my bathroom doesn’t have a fan – can cause rust in cold metal to liquefy; something I did not know before all this!”
