Detroit Resident Shares Hellish Laundry Room Straight Out of a 'Saw' Film

A Detroit resident gave people a tour of his laundry room, an abandoned space adorned with graffiti and discarded furniture that left people comparing it to a living "nightmare."

Any tenant is lucky to have a washer and dryer in their apartment, but it seems few are going to more extreme lengths for clean clothes than Garrison.

The DJ filmed the hike he has to embark on to get to the appliances, saying: "I just wanted to show you my laundry room. I for real can't make this s*** up."

In a TikTok clip shared to the site at the end of last month, he unlocks a door explaining the machines are located in a separate building.

The first of many red flags come as Garrison descends a flight of stairs, with the door at the bottom scrawled in graffiti. There also doesn't appear to be traditional door handles—only metal hooks.

He pushes it open to reveal what looks like a cross between an abandoned property and a building site. Walls are unfinished with empty door frames, missing wall panels leave the metal frame exposed, and the ceiling is also shy of a few pieces.

The graffiti theme continues, with drawings of faces, scribbles, words, and shapes daubed all over the walls. And the floor isn't better, with grubby, cracked concrete in the building which has mushrooms growing out of it.

Walking down the corridor, he reveals the building's vastness as he films empty rooms flanking the walkway.

Discarded furniture and more graffiti are scattered in the cavernous spaces, while Garrison films another corridor coming off the main one, suggesting the place is even bigger than it first appears.

Finally, he reaches the utility room, which also houses the boiler, and its paltry two machines, one of which is covered in junk. There's also an ominous dark stain right outside the room.

Garrison narrated the tour, saying: "So I have to go outside of my apartment into the main building, downstairs, remember this is my laundry room. It's not in unit it's far from unit, in a spooky ass corridor where we literally have literally live mushrooms growing out of the f****** floor.

"We have a spooky room, and at night this is literally the only light you get, so don't come down here at night because one time I came down here, As Above So Below vibes.

"One time I came down here and there was a literal man standing at the end of the room looking out that window and you can legit see my apartment. Not that he was staring at my apartment or anything but like, f****** creepy. I don't need that.

"It's fun, like, you can paint the walls and stuff. And kind of like, do whatever you want. And here we are. Doesn't get much better, it's disgusting through and through."

He shockingly revealed it costs $725 to live there, calling it "very Detroit".

The harrowing footage has been viewed more than 2.6 million times, with people overwhelmingly calling on Garrison to move out as they compared the laundry room to a number of horror films.

Mario Calderon admitted: "I'd rather walk down to the river and wash my clothes on rocks."

Hampton Pennyworth joked: "Is Jigsaw a good landlord?"

Emmy reckoned: "That's American Horror Story's next filming location."

"I would literally just buy new clothes every week," Kassy wrote.

Heather pointed out: "Imagine walking through all of that just to find out it's being used."

While Missginadarling said: "If you get stabbed while doing your laundry, at least you can wash it right away."

Mirror suggested: "Imagine how cool that space would be if fixed up and turned into a community center. Multiple laundry units, people hanging out. Pool table. Idk."

Cyberexboyfriend added: "Doing laundry in Silent Hill."

While Mitchell Wiggs asked: "Which Saw movie was filmed here." And As if simply said: "I've been here in a nightmare."

In response, Garrison shared an apartment tour on Wednesday, revealing the loft-style home he shares with his dog. He explained he and his then-boyfriend "didn't think to check the laundry room until after."

"I've been getting so many comments like 'bestie move' and 'let's get you out of there' and truthfully I want to get out of here. But, hopefully by seeing my apartment you can understand why I'm still here," he said.

While the home is filled with plants and funky décor, Garrison also revealed there was no air conditioning and the roof leaked, adding "the bar was set extremely low" from the beginning.

He said: "There's been times where I've woken up after it's rained and there's just puddles of water on the couch. Right now I also have all my furniture moved forward, it's kind of like a little in-house waterfall where when it rains water will pour down that wall into the bucket I have put out but also onto the floor.

"There's no air conditioning in here so I sleep on this air mattress down here every single night because where I am standing I am hot but upstairs where my bed is is even hotter. I've complained about things like leaks and the heat to my landlord being like, why are you raising my rent when it's a nightmare to live here.

"And she said, you have a problem with it, you can move out. So this is what I'm dealing with, I'm trying to find something new because I feel disrespected as f***. But it's cute so I'm here, y'know."

Newsweek reached out to Garrison for comment.
