Spread
Samanthartsoe did not provide further updates for several hours, allowing her videos to spread elsewhere online as people speculated what may have happened. Her videos spread on Twitter thanks to reposts from user @cheymillz,[1][2] gaining 1.6 and 1.1 million views on the platform, respectively. The spread of the videos on Twitter led people to compare the saga to the film Candyman, in which the titular horror monster can be summoned by repeating his name in a mirror. User @Urbanzosf[3] tweeted, "Me watching that women climb through her apartment bathroom mirror on Tiktok knowing Candyman is on the other side," gaining over 1,300 retweets and 8,200 likes (shown below, left). User @jacobdavison_[4] tweeted, "Someone has clearly not watched CANDYMAN," gaining over 1,500 retweets and 8,600 likes (shown below, right).
On March 4th, @samanthartsoe posted parts 3 and 4 of her journey (shown below), which show her successfully entering the hole and exploring the area, discovering a "whole other apartment" that is covered in debris. She notes "signs of life" but does not find another person in the apartment. She ends the video by saying she is going to call her landlord and have the hole cemented over. The saga was covered by Dexerto,[5] Newsweek[6] and the New York Post.[7]
