A couple of years ago, TikToker @tnmamabear5 met up with her friend in Asheville, North Carolina, for a day of fun. They planned to go horseback riding, tour the Biltmore Mansion, and go to a Leonardo da Vinci laser show at a museum.
But after touring the mansion, she felt that something fishy was going on there.
“I believe there is some kind of trafficking system going on at the Biltmore Mansion in Asheville, North Carolina, and I’m going to tell you why,” she said.
About halfway through the tour, she bumped into a man. Her intuition immediately told her to stay away from him. She got this feeling after he helped her and her friend take a picture.
As they kept exploring the mansion, they also looked through the photos and videos they took. This man was in every single one of them, and he was completely alone.
When they got done touring the mansion, they stood to the side and enjoyed the view of the land. Suddenly, the man appeared out of nowhere and asked if they wanted their picture taken again. They agreed, but gave each other weird looks because something seemed off with him.
Then, @tnmamabear5 offered to take this guy’s picture to return the favor. He paused for a second before agreeing and saying that he was with a couple of other people.
He asked if they wanted to walk with him, but they told him they would wait. He returned with two shorter men.
At this time, her friend had just answered a call from her husband, so @tnmamabear5 quickly snapped the photo for the men. She gave the phone back and turned to her friend.

When they both turned around, the men had already disappeared. They took the shuttle back to their car and headed to the laser show. It was really dark and spooky in there.
“My friend says that the only thing that would make this more spooky is if that man walked in at this time,” said @tnmamabear5. “His name was Elon. He told us his name was Elon.”
Eventually, they left the laser show. As they were walking out of the museum, they noticed a man looking at a painting with his back facing them.
There was a man in each of the rooms they were leaving, and they were all from the mansion. Thinking that they were being followed, the two friends rushed back to their car.
They briefly waited at the front of the building to see if the men would come out, but they did not. Then, they drove six minutes to a restaurant in a shopping center.
They parked the car, went into the restaurant to reserve their seats, and walked back to the parking lot. That’s when they ran into the men again.
TikToker @tnmamabear5 announced that they kept seeing the men everywhere they went, wanting to make them aware that they noticed.
The girls turned a corner, and @tnmamabear5 called her husband to tell him that they were definitely being followed.
They went back to the restaurant and asked the hostess if the three guys who came in right after them were eating there as well. She said that they were eating on the patio, even though it was January. The hostess got the girls a table in a secluded area. They spent a long time eating and chatting.
At one point, their server approached them and informed them that the men were still here. She got the strong feeling that she needed to call a sheriff to escort them.
TikToker @tnmamabear5 got up to use the bathroom before the sheriff arrived and locked eyes with a man who had been sitting behind her.
Her gut told her that he was involved. She and her friend watched the people in the restaurant closely, realizing that they were being followed by a whole group. The sheriff finally came to walk them out.
“Right before you cross the road to go down into the parking lot, the third man is standing right there at the edge of the road,” said @tnmamabear5.
“I know without a shadow of a doubt he would’ve tried to talk to us. We would’ve turned to talk to him, someone would’ve come out behind us, put something on our mouths, thrown us in a vehicle, and we’d be gone.”
If the sheriff hadn’t been there, they wouldn’t be here today. At the time, they were 42 years old, so they didn’t think this kind of thing would happen to them. But it is happening everywhere to all types of people, so always be aware of your surroundings.
