Like a scary movie, her story begins with a mysterious breeze, Steve Overmyer of CBS2 reported Thursday.

“So I walk into my bathroom and … I feel cold air blowing on me,” the woman named Samantha said in a video. “You can see my hair blowing in the cold wind.”
The tension arose when she found the source.
“And the sky comes from the mirror … Let me show you what I found,” Samantha said.
More than 10 million people watched her journey, reminding her that a hole in a room behind a mirror was the plot of the 1992 movie “Candyman”.
“There’s a room there … I have to go in … What if someone lives there?” Samantha said as the videos continued.
Samantha has seen enough scary movies to explore the unknown unprepared. She wore a flash on her forehead, like a miner’s cap.
The plot thickened as she pushed through the hole.
“Oh my God,” she said.

The final video revealed that there was not just one room behind the mirror. There was a whole apartment.
Trash cans and even a water bottle inside suggested she might not be alone.
“OK, so there are signs of life,” Samantha said.
After walking out the front door, she was delighted to survive the experience.
“Made it alive!” she said.
Then it collapsed. The apartment next door is connected by a hole in the wall.
Samantha plans to fasten the mirror to the wall until the hole is ready.
“My landlord is getting a very fun call tomorrow,” she said.
