A Minneapolis man couldn’t figure out what the mystery liquid running down his apartment wall was — but it turns out it was blood from a deceased upstairs neighbour.

Tenant Evin Schultz, under the Twitter handle @piggyazalea, took to the social media platform to share disturbing video footage of the discovery on Feb. 5 in a post that’s since gone viral.

The footage scans the wall starting at the ceiling, showing drops of a dark-red liquid.

“This is, like, Paranormal Activity-type s—t. This is, like, The Shining,” Schultz can be heard saying in the video. “Where is this coming from? Because I don’t know. Nor does the maintenance man who came in now.”

The Twitter user went on to add that he doesn’t know what happened to the tenant above him other than that the person reportedly “died in his sleep.”

“His body decomposed and somehow managed to seep into our apartment,” the tweet read. “We’ve head [sic] leaking in our bathroom so when we saw this we called maintenance immediately.”

In another tweet, @daddyallenjoel added that no one could determine what the cause of the liquid was until someone checked on the unit above and the body was discovered. The deceased tenant’s apartment is currently blocked off, he added in another tweet.

Global News reached out to both tenants but didn’t hear back by the time of publication.
