She Unknowingly Thrifted A Lamp With A Shade That Appears To Be Covered In Old Blood
A TikToker named Paige Nicole was recently thrift shopping for her home when she saw a cute antique lamp.
So, she bought it, took the lamp home, and plugged it in.
After the lamp was illuminated, though, Paige realized that the lamp came with two lampshades. So, she removed the top shade and discovered what looked like a ton of old blood spatter and stains on the one underneath. Yikes!
Paige immediately took to TikTok to share the creepy find, and the social media community was appalled. Countless users also begged her to test the stains for supposed blood.
“This is why I don’t buy anything from thrift stores!” commented one user.
“The gasp I just gasped,” wrote a second user.
“Cut a little piece off and put peroxide on it to see if it bubbles. If it does, I would take it to the police. That would be a lottttt of blood,” suggested a third user.
And Paige did end up creating a series of videos about the lampshade.

In her first update TikTok, she showed how the lampshade looks completely normal when not plugged in. Once illuminated, though, a ton of red stains appear.
Then, she tested one area of the shade with hydrogen peroxide. Once she applied the peroxide using a Q-tip, though, some of the splatter stains began to rub off onto the swab.
“I do not think that is good,” Paige said. She also asked the TikTok community what they thought about the peroxide test results.
And while no one could possibly provide Paige with a definitive answer, most continued to encourage her to bring the lampshade to authorities.
“That definitely looks like old blood,” commented one user.
“Call the cops, girl…” advised a second.
Eventually, Paige did get into contact with her local police last week and shared what happened in a final TikTok.
“After giving them all of the information, they do believe that it could be blood. But, they have decided not to follow up on it being that there is no way to place the lamp’s time period or location,” she began.
“It could be ten or fifteen years old. It could be from a garage, a shed, or a garage sale,” Paige continued.
“There is no way to tell where it came from. And with the amount of hands that have been on it, there is no way to place it.”
Nonetheless, the TikToker said that she does still plan to privately test the lampshade for blood. She simply wants to get some answers and “have peace of mind.”
