It was a portal to a sordid past.
An Argentinian man was renovating his home when he discovered a hidden room that he believed held a horrifying secret — it was once used by a woman who experienced abuse at the hands of her husband.
The homeowner, Crix Aliz, detailed these devastating claims in a series of viral videos posted to his TikTok channel.
'What she wanted was justice, to be heard and to stop being trapped,' Aliz told Jam Press of the late woman's spirit.
Aliz, who frequently uploads videos on so-called occult activity, purchased the property after his dad overheard a conversation about an abandoned house hitting the market in Cordoba.
4 'When I opened it (the door), I found myself in a scene frozen in time,' said Aliz while discussing the find.

Despite being highly 'affordable,' the home was a fixer-upper, so the content creator got to work renovating the place.
One day, while 'removing a thick vine in the garden,' the homeowner said he 'discovered a door that looked like it had come from another time.'
'It was half-hidden as if someone had wanted it to remain a secret,' recalled Aliz, who opened it to discover 'a scene frozen in time.'

Inside were 'loads of old objects,' including dusty books, worn chairs, analog cameras and an old projector, which seemed 'part of a world someone had tried to hide,' per the TikTokker.
While the space seemed spooky enough on its own, the plot thickened after Aliz discovered a small passageway that connected it directly to the living room of the house.

It reportedly harbored furniture from the previous owners, notably a piano, 'which would start playing on its own,' the TikTokker alleged. He's even shared alleged videos of the ghostly instrument playing alone like something out of the 'Amityville Horror.'
'At first, I was incredibly scared, but over time, I decided to face what was happening, and I wanted to understand it,' said Aliz, who felt that these so-called phantom keys were trying to tell him something.

'One day, I placed letters of the alphabet on the piano keys and let that presence speak, and it did,' the ghost hunter declared. 'It spelled out a single word — diary.'
Intrigued, Aliz enlisted a psychic who reportedly helped him find a diary belonging to a woman named Adelina, whereupon he started to probe her tragic past.
'Adelina was a woman who experienced profound suffering,' he said. 'With the help of a medium, we began to understand that she wanted us to find her diary and for her story to be known.
According to Aliz, the woman had reportedly been locked in the room by her husband after he discovered that she 'was expecting a child with her piano teacher.'
'He isolated her from the world,' lamented the crestfallen man, who works as a merchant. 'What she wanted was justice, to be heard and to stop being trapped.'
Hoping to close the book on the sad saga, the alleged ghost whisperer then traveled to the cemetery where, according to records left behind in the room, she was laid to rest.
Aliz claims he was able to give Adelina some much-needed resolution. Since conducting his spectral investigation, he claims that 'been no more late-night sounds coming from the piano' and that 'the house felt at peace.'
