Storage in this US home’s garage has captivated 5 million people

Chrissy Alfaro offers a warning before turning the door handle.

The real estate agent in Frisco, Texas, lets her phone record as she steps up to the door.

“Here we go, we’re going into the garage and we’re going to get a surprise,” Alfaro can be heard saying in a now viral video.

She pauses before opening the door.

Behind the door is something Alfaro claims to have never seen before – a series of doors.

Not just one or two, but enough to create an optical illusion.

“I have never in my life seen anything like this,” Alfaro says.

“What’s happening here? Why are there so many doors?”

As she pans the camera around she focuses in on the centre of the room to show a three-car garage.

Perplexed, Alfaro turns to face one of the doors. She cautiously turns the door handle.

“Nothing,” she says at the contents behind the door.

“Storage,” she says as she opens a second door, referring to a set of shelving.

“Somebody was really into compartmentalising,” she adds.

As she continues opening door after door, she becomes uneasy.

“I’m kind of scared that I’m going to open one of these and something…” she says.

Alfaro pauses, before peering into the doorway. The storage continues down the wall.

“OK, so this one goes all the way down,” she says.

“But why would you not just have a wall?”

After opening each of the doors, Alfaro believes the doors were added after the shelving was built.

“Okay, so we found nothing substantial, just a lot of storage. But how fricken crazy is it?” she says.

The video, which she posted to TikTok, has been viewed more than 5 million times and had almost 30,000 comments.

The majority of the comments believe Alfaro stumbled upon doorways to the “in-between”.

“Oh no, that’s liminal space for sure,” one person wrote.

“Yes, I’m absolutely sure I want to park my car in my home’s liminal space,” a second person wrote.

Then there were other thoughts.

“This feels like a weird horror movie scene,” one person wrote.

“Imagine breaking in and then trying to find a way out,” another person wrote.

“I wonder if it was someone who liked organisation but also lowkey hoarding and had an opportunity to buy 30 doors on Craiglist or something. Wild,” yet another wrote.
