One summer, a lady contacted TikToker Manila (@manila.333) to make a cake for her son’s birthday party. She had gotten Manila’s information from someone else at a big event. She was also extremely wealthy and lived about 45 minutes away in the middle of nowhere.

When it was time for Manila to deliver the cake, she made the trip over to the woman’s house. It started to get dark as she was driving, but she kept going.

Finally, she reached the lady’s house. It was a large mansion. Manila was confused as to why such a wealthy woman would want to order a cake from a small baker like her.

But she was paying Manila a lot of money, so she didn’t question it too much. She walked up to the front door and rang the doorbell.

No one answered, so she went around to the backyard, thinking the event was there. However, the backyard was empty.

“At this point, I go back and sit in my car…and I’m starting to get a little creeped out,” said Manila. “I’m calling her; she’s not answering. It felt really eerie, and I’m by myself. I barely have reception.”

A light was on in one of the bedrooms, so she decided to try ringing the doorbell again. No one answered, but the door was unlocked.

She did not go into the house. Instead, she returned to her car and began to drive away with the cake. By then, it was far too late for cake to be served anyway.

Suddenly, she received a phone call from a private number. It was the woman, saying that they had changed the location of their event to a barn.

She apologized and offered to send someone to pick up the cake at the house. She had seen Manila on the cameras at the house. Manila hadn’t noticed any cameras on the property.

She was terrified but ended up going back to the house against her instincts. It was very dark out at that point. As she approached the house, she heard weird noises.

A man dressed in black and wearing a top hat was standing at the front door. He ran toward her car in a strange, inhuman way. Then, he stopped and stared at her.

Manila took off and drove to the nearest gas station. At first, she was reluctant to go in because she was worried that everyone in the area might be connected to each other. Once she saw other customers inside, she felt comfortable enough to enter.

She asked the attendant about the house. He told her that it was an abandoned mansion. No one had lived there for decades. Manila quickly bought some water and left. Luckily, she made it out of there safely.
