Dealing with your family is one thing, but dealing with your significant other’s family can be a whole other can of worms. Sometimes there’s simply no rhyme or reason why you and your partner’s parents aren't gelling, but you probably don’t want to find out the way that one woman did, after capturing her boyfriend’s mom standing over her and telling her she wants to “unalive her” while she sleeps.
The 21-year-old TikToker said she only learned about her boyfriend’s mom's late night visits from an app on her phone.
TikToker Rosa Chicas, or @rosiduh, explained in a video from March 12 that she’d downloaded the app to hear herself snore but was alarmed by some other really strange noises she heard when she listened to the recording.
“I ended up hearing a voice saying it wants to unalive me and saying hateful things so I think it’s a ghost and put a camera in my room but it turns out it was my boyfriend’s mom coming into my room and saying those things while I slept while hovering over me,” Rosa, who refers to her boyfriend's mom as her mother-in-law, wrote in the video’s text overlay.
“To this day I still don’t know what I did to her that week,” she added in the comments.
Nearly 9 million people have watched Rosa’s video, and most of them were concerned.
"That’s not normal … I’m sorry you have to live like that lock your doors and get a knob that looks similar to the one on the door but with a key," one person advised.
"This scared me on such a deep level I’m actually tearing rn," another commenter confessed.
"No bc when I read the ending it creeped me out more than the so-called ghost," a third person responded.
Other people weren’t afraid to joke about this admittedly unfunny situation.
"Live, laugh, lock them doors," someone told her.
"Not her all Paranormal Activity hating on you," another commenter teased.
"This took a turn I didn’t anticipate," another person chimed in.
In a “story time” video, Rosa explained that this went down back in January.
She only posted about it recently, never imagining that it would blow up.
“Basically, my mother-in-law lives with me because she just got out of prison and she has nowhere to live right now because her baby-daddy — I don’t know, we don’t know where he’s at,” she explained.
Rosa said she doesn’t want to lock her doors at night because her boyfriend works nights and she doesn’t want to lock him out.
“They all live with me in my house,” she explained.
In a second part of her story, she explained that all of her MIL’s kids have been living with her for a few years while their mom was in jail.
“I know that if I were to confront her — I haven’t confronted her, and I haven’t told anybody,” she added, before explaining that she was worried that her MIL would take away her ability to see her boyfriend’s siblings.
“The youngest one, she’s 4 now, but whenever she came to live with us she was barely turning 2, so I have a really, really strong attachment to her,” she said.
She said that she initially got the snoring app after seeing an ad for it on TikTok.
“And I did hear myself snore but I started hearing this really weird voice whispering in my ear and it was saying hateful things like ‘You’re so ugly’ and ‘I hate you’ and curse words that I don’t want to say,” she recalled in part three of her series.
“Basically it was some really hurtful stuff. ‘That’s my daughter.’ ‘You’re never going to have her.’ This and that,” she added. “Obviously I know she’s not my frickin’ daughter.”
Rosa said this happened three nights in a row, and she really believed it was a ghost who was haunting her.
She said she had no idea that her MIL was secretly upset with her and said that she’d always been “so sweet” to her. “She still is to this day,” Rosa added.
But after seeing the video, the TikToker confessed that she’s no longer buying it and won’t even eat any of the food her MIL makes her.
She also said that when she first saw her MIL go into her room on the recording, she thought she was looking for something she lost.
“No, she started hovering over me and I didn’t have the sleep recording app on so I didn’t hear what she was saying that night but you could see her hovering over me,” she recalled.
Rosa didn’t want to tell anyone about her MIL's night visits because she’d only recently gotten out of prison and she really believes that the woman is upset about how close the TikToker is with her 4-year-old daughter.
“I don’t want to tell my boyfriend just because he’s kind of mean and I’m pretty sure he would kick her out,” she said. “I don’t want to do that to her. I don’t want to do that to the kids because they literally have nowhere else to go.”
“Honestly, it’s not like anything’s going to happen and if it does then it’s probably meant to be,” she continued.
“I genuinely do like her as a person,” she continued in another video. “Some people just kind of go through some things, and at least she’s not saying it to my face.”
One final anecdote, however, doesn't have us convinced that everything is OK.
“You know one time actually I do remember, she told me that if she would [makes killing gesture], she would do it while they were sleeping. So now that I think about it it’s a little weird,” she recalled. “But it’s OK. Nothing’s going to happen to me guys."
We think we speak for all of us when we say we sincerely hope so.
