Had a scary discovery while checking on the cottage after the storm and very grateful that nothing was taken and there was no damage, but still scary.

Omg I was legit scared the entire time!!!
Saaaame Lone.!! I was about to get a panic attack because of that.!! Don’t go again unless you have buddies with you! Stay save MaCenna
I watch too much true crime for this haha
Me toooooooooooo
I was ready to ATTACK someone for being at my house!
Yesss, I was waiting for her to run out!!
I love when dad goes “will be there in a minute” . Didn’t ask any questions, nothing. Go dad!!!! ❤️
Yes, go dad good man! she said she was scared and there was stuff that someone brought that it didn’t bring there. So dad knew enough to know something was off so he can’t let his daughter check it out.
Seriously that’s awesome!
Meanwhile mum is sympathizing with the squatter on the phone lol
I know right!! It was so cute
When you were on the phone with your mom about someone trying to find shelter, and Hearing you say, “that’s so sad” instead of “WTF!” and be angry about it, makes you a sooo much better person than most!
Yes, although so scary, mom telling her to go to the front of the house + dad dropping everything and heading over + her sweet reaction to someone needing shelter = such a loving family and totally warmed my heart!
Right! They all have such big hearts. Even though it sucks and feels very invasive she’s still so compassionate.
Amen!
Only Ma Cenna LOL
You could hear the concern in her mom's voice, too. What a horrible 5 days that person must have had, trying to find shelter.
me 90% of the video: MACENNA GET OUT OF THERE GIRLLLL
Yes! I was holding my breath!!!!
omg yes!!!
Same! 🤣🤣
Me too!
me too
when the video is titled "someone broke in" and then the faucets are all running, my first thought: "It's the Wet Bandits!!"
Lmao!!! I just spit all over my food reading your comment.
🤣🤣🤣 AKA Sticky Bandits 🏠🗽
Bahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣 love this!
Bahahahhaa
Feelt like we where in a scarry movie, but it was not fake with acctres. Feelt worried for you. Don't go and look for burglars yourself, pls.
ok. I have goosebumps. EEEKKKK
Like Blair Witch
Omg yes I was so happy her mom heard it too and that she called her dad.
Unless you have your gun. This is Texas there could be all types of varmints that need to be dealt with, especially snakes.
As someone still renovating her home as a single woman - if something feels off, don’t continue walking around your house. Get out and go wait in your car until you can get someone else in with you. Whoever it was 1000% heard you talking on the phone/camera and that prob startled them enough to leave but someone was def walking around your house. I kept looking in the background expecting to see someone walking behind you. Renovating older homes - security is a must especially if you’ll be over there alone a lot and squatters can happen especially after the huge storm you just had.
How do you know someone was definitely there?
@@DaniLore They might not have been there necessarily one McKenna was but someone was there. Especially with there being such severe storms in Texas that no one was expecting it is very certain that a homeless person was taking shelter in there
@@DaniLore i definitely heard footsteps inside the house i reckon they ran out once she went into the workshop
Even if there are squatters that doesn't mean they are dangerous
@@erinhallmakes777 you have to protect yourself just in case especially being a woman. I wouldn’t go in alone but yes you’re right, it’s very sad considering the Arctic like freeze on Texas
what's horrifying to me is how you found physical evidence of somebody staying in the shed, but also the fact that you hearing sounds in the house multiple times probably meant they were currently in the main house when you were filming. Probably got startled once they heard you talking so much so I'm glad at least their reaction was to attempt to escape back out rather than confront you about it.
And yeah, I do agree with your parents and feel like chances are they were somebody in need of shelter, especially after the huge storm and were possibly somewhat scared of you too, but even when I tell myself that's still incredibly scary to think about! I am so glad you are safe and that your parents were in driving distance and able to help!
What makes me nervous about this, is that those noises in the house were loud, even on camera. It made me wonder if they were in your house's attic while you were in the house, and that's why they weren't in the workshop when you looked. Crazy. Did you guys ever look in the house's attic? Glad you all are safe! This was scary to watch, I can't imagine being there during it.
No offence but you are literally that white girl in the horror movies that everybody keeps talking about.
* hears break-in noises *
"LoOk aT aLl ThE wiLd FloWeRS!1!"
😆
"LOOK AT ALL THE CUTE WILDFLOWERS?!" Yep, you weretrying to distract yourself to calm yourself down...I get that...BUT....I was yelling at the video saying, "Run Girl!!! Or those flowers could end up on YOUR Grave!!! For God's Sake!! Dont stop to smell or pick the flowers!!! ....It reminded meof something my kid sister would do in the midst of a dog attack lol! I wouldgrab her up and drag her to safety lol!
Hahaha! You are so right!
Absolutely. Thats what I just thought myself. I would have been gone after the first noise. In fact I would not have gone there by myself at all.
the fun comes in packages wrapped in many different colors...
random little clouds o' joy in this dark world, methinks.
When you heard something on the roof and went outside, the satellite dish scared the CRAP out of me!! My heart seriously dropped!
Omg I almost passed out. It scared me so bad lol
Omg MaCenna going “did you hear that” to us like we were there with her😂😩
I know! And when she was eating her fries and talking to us!!!❤️
I was so scared for her! Like get out of there right now! Screw the camera!!! 😆
omg i literally felt like you guys were there with me!!!! I was terrified and trying to figure it out all at the same time!
You know the scary thing, I heard the noise too. Also scared me too.
You are not crazy I heard the noise too and I got scare for you.
I love how she’s go from “I’m ready to attack if someone is in my property” to “LOOK AT THE WILD FLOWERS 😍🥰” In a millisecond. This is why I adore her.
I love how her dad quickly said “I’m on the way” I was scared watching this. I’m glad you’re okay. Please be careful ❤️
Everyone should be blessed with such amazing parents.
I thought he said "be there in a minute"
We love a dad who's immediately like "be right there!" when something happens.
I had a bad energy once you started showing the water drip. I felt so scared like I was there.Definitely heard foot steps not noise. Check the attic I don’t think it was the roof maybe the attic.
Literally me too!
I had a bad energy with the video in general....I'm so sensitive to this things and I think something is going on there...
Don’t check yourself, get someone else to.
She should check attic with someone, I've heard that it happens in old houses that someone just lives in the attic of house
Same omg you hear someone walking above her and then the "crash" sound could be them jumping off the roof.
For sure someone was there when you were there ! Please be careful! Trust your gut and do not go towards the noise!
Macenna is the girl you yell at in a horror movie saying “what are you doing?!?!?” Ahahah be careful girl! I’m glad you’re safe ❤️
Same 🤣🤣🤣
Yes!! I thought the same lol. And when she said "Hello" I was like oh my please go into your car and call your dad girl lol omg. She's so cute 😊
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂so true
I legit have major anxiety watching this. The sounds in the attic and stuff in the workshop. I wonder if someone is/was trying to steal your pipes/electrical.
I’m from az and I’ve never heard of someone stealing pipes and electrical stuff, but I was planning on moving to Texas and I’m curious to know if that’s a thing over there ??
Hahaha girl the same
I'm wondering if someone turned on the water in the house to see if it would run
@@jessicafigueroa822 it's a thing country wide but you see it the most with older homes. The metals in pipes and wiring can be sold for a lot of money.
@@jessicafigueroa822 yes it’s a thing. People go in your shed or drive through to steal what ever you have in it. Happen to my dad and to my mom
I loved that you thought of the person who probably was sheltering during the storm rather than getting angry, you are a sweet soul! That storm was such a monster, I can’t imagine being trapped outside in it. So glad you were safe & nothing bad happened at the house. Sending love from Houston!
Also It’s a good thing you were recording and talking to yourself, and on the phone because they might’ve thought more than one person was there and helped keep them from getting crazy.
You ARE the girl in the horror movie that’s just like “hello?? Is anyone there!?” I was seriously so terrified this whole video
yeah well that's pretty reasonable thing to do...only in movies there is someone waiting to slay you. :D In reality, someone in tough spot, not in best state of mind is probably squatting there - it sounds silly but talking works 99% of the time and ends in helping the person, instead of saying "it's so saaad" and making a video about it. If that's even what happened :)
When you were talking about how all of the facets were on I was like someone had to have been in there!! Like the person probably turned them all on because they had no idea you turned the water off. That was scary, especially all of the loud sounds
This actually makes me feel sorry for the intruder now... like her mom I imagine it was maybe someone looking for shelter from the storm, and they were maybe trying all the faucets looking for water to drink? That’s maybe why the bath was running as they maybe forced it too much and broke it?
Actually, I think maybe it was someone trying to help not realizing it was off. You are supposed to let them drip if you can't turn the water off. It was maybe the nicest thing they could have done.
That’s exactly what I was thinking😳😳😳
@@dawsonl7647 Well I mean you can feel sorry for them but they could be dangerous.
Maybe someone was living in those abandoned houses previously or had been there before you and your new neighbors. And they just came back to an old safe space to wait out the storm. Either way freaky moment. Definitely gave me anxiety and uncomfortable vibes watching. It really sounded like they were in your attic and decided to bail out a window or something after hearing you in the house. Lots of sounds going on above you in the video. I’d inspect the attic with your family present. Glad you’re safe lovely!
The fact that you went from “someone broke into my house” to “look at all my brass candle holders”
Haha well it was 2 days later and don’t spook easily I was ready to attack LOL
I’d mention to law enforcement just for the record. Now that the home is purchased.
Bless someone seeking shelter.
Go with your gut but next time wait in a locked car.
It made my heart melt when your dad didn’t hesitate and said he’s on his way!! Makes me miss my dad so much.
Same
MaCenna: "did you hear that?" *goes quiet*
Me: "Don't yell 'hello, is anyone there?'"
MaCenna: *goes outside* "look at the little wildflowers!"
Me: *relaxes thinking it's over*
***15 seconds later.***
MaCenna: *figuring out somethings not right in the murder barn*
Me: *watching on the edge of my seat* "Gurl, grab yourself a weapon." 👀
Next time, if you think you hear someone at the property while you're there call the cops ASAP and report a break-in and that you think they're still there.
@@riaheveleigh And for the love of god, stop TOUCHING EVERYTHING! You could be destroying evidence if there was an investigation that needed to take place. Also, "murder barn" is a perfect moniker, Riah Eve!
@@gothempress yeah, for sure. I actually had someone try to break into my apartment while I was home one night and I spent about an hour trying to figure out if I should call the cops so I called 311 who said I should’ve called 911 so I called 911 who said I should’ve called them the moment it happened so they couldn’t help me and sent me back to 311.
So then 311 took my info and had a cop come out the next morning and dust for prints on my door (I made sure to not touch my door or the door handle at all).
@@riaheveleigh I'm sorry you went through that. I've lived in bad neighborhoods a few times now and have had attempted breakins while I'm home and awake (due to being a perpetual night owl) But yeah that's one thing I learned is if something feels _that_ off, call the police first and get yourself to safety. Desperate people do desperate things and if a home invader feels cornered, there's no telling how they'll react. It's not an overreaction - it's personal preservation.
I was like "grab that thing behind you!!!" like a curtain rod or something
I would definitely contact the local police department and make sure they're aware that several neighbors on the street have had trespassing issues. They may be able to up their patrol of the area in the evening to see if there's a homeless person who needs shelter or possibly someone who has mental issues hanging around the area. Stay safe!
MaCenna: I’m actually kind of scared
Me: *on the verge of a heart attack*
Just from my experience. Don’t leave any supplies or tools. In a home while renovating
Call the police, inform them that you just bought the property so they lol check on it on their shift. Don’t go alone !!
Yes, around here tools are always stolen. It's a huge problem. Also home breakins are sky high, even during they day around here right now (according to Nextdoor.com), because the economy is doing so poorly. One night I walked into the kitchen at 3 am to get a drink of water and I looked down and watched a man walk from the street down our long driveway and look in our garage. When he didn't see anything in there to steal, he left. However it sounds like she has a whacko in the neighborhood. If she plans to demolish the shed, might not be a bad idea to do that soon. Then the guy won't try to come back and use it or want to hide there. They found a homeless man living in the basement of my three story apartment building before I moved in years ago. It happens but hopefully he can find a shelter in the area and stop bothering the neighbors.
felt like I was watching a horror movie
I was just about to post the same. So creepy
HONESTLY
Girl, run. Call the cops. And get Simplisafe to sponsor your property 😟😫
Makenna, please don’t investigate strange noises. Go home, boo. Stay safe.
Anyone else start watching this like a found footage horror movie as soon as she heard a noise?? I keep looking in the background for ghosts moving around 😂
Yeah, definitely. And you say to yourself: "don't look at her face, look at background and blind spots!" 😂
Uhhmm yes!! I too was looking in the background the whole time she was listening, while looking up...lol omg too funny!
Yes! There's was definitely a Blair Witch Project close up moment...
Totally!!! I still have anxiety from watching it lol
Me too!!
MaCenna is a genuine soul, she is one of those people that resonates kindness. I actually watch her because she is not only a great decorator but she is not fake, phony or pretentious. Her parents did really well raising her. I’m 57, I’m probably her moms age. If she was my daughter, I would be soooooo proud of her. I’m sure they are.
it was so scary when you heard something on the roof ( looked like a scary movie) 😟
I don’t know why the satellite dish scared me the way it did
SAME
Hahaha omg same! 😩😩
Omg same
I jumped.
I teared up when your dad said “be there in a minute” I’m scared for you while watching but the love of your family makes me heart happy.
Be careful. It is kinda concerning that they put things out methodically. Did you let the police know?
Watching it again, I felt like someone was there while you were there. Please go with people and make sure to check attic since I remember from your home tour video that it has entry from outside and all one need is stairs.
My heart was RACING when she went into the workshop! So glad you're okay!
Oh honey you all might have a spirit, it’ll probably love your energy and the fact the house is being loved again 🤗🙏🏻💕
Try never to turn the water on by yourself, someone needs to be in the house to let you know if there’s a major leak so you can turn it off quickly. A lot of damage can be done in a short amount of time with gushing water✨
Learning some important lessons here! Thx for sharing.
I literally had an upset stomach throughout the scary part. I was yelling “Call your parents!” Not like you could hear me, but it made me feel better, especially once you called them. You’re a brave woman.I would have been gone.🥴
Smart girls would have been gone!
Imagine someone was there just to find MaCenna saying "look at the pretty flowers" with a very high voice ^^
omfg hahahah
Bahahahha
The joy I have watching these now!! Reaction videos to these post pregnancy might be easier to do?! And subscribers would enjoy?
Just an advice : when you feel scared just don't stay in a closed area. Get outside where you can run away. I know you don't want to be scared in your own house but we don't know who was hiding in there. take care ♥
omg when you heard the door open/shut, my heart stopped 😟😟
MeCenna: “HELLO??”
Me: No girl... you run. They ain’t gonna say hey back. 😱 and if they did....
Right, they arent gonna say hello back....unless it is to pinpoint where YOU are....then the NEXT "hello" would be whispered in YOUR EAR!!! GET MOVING OUTTA THERE!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
McCenna! Love you girl, but NOOOOOOO!!!! Call the police. If someone is taking things from other houses and placing them methodically in other places to intimidate people they are playing a scary game with all of y'all. call the police now.
THAT PART. Like, that’s not normal behaviour, that’s either someone with malicious intent or mentally unstable and neither should be taken lightly.
I know how scary it is to have someone break into your house!! Someone broke into our new house after our FIRST night there (so our first morning). We were still home and he broke through a window in the basement. It was absolutely terrifying. I’m still working through it! But getting security cameras has made me feel a lot better. We use SimpliSafe and a SimpliSafe ad played during this video 😂 I hope you’re alright and that no further harm is done!❤️
OMG Macenna is literally the girl in every horror movie. I'm screaming at the the TV "DO NOT GO IN THERE!!!" Glad you're safe.
This was exactly like watching a scary movie! I was saying “get out of there....go go go” hahaha
I love how your mom went straight to compassion and empathy ♥️ stay safe sweet girl.
Thanks for making sure our girl MaCenna is safe and sound, Dad! #whenyourdaughtercalls #andespeciallyifshesscared #youdropeverythingandgo
Girl the only thing I kept thinking was "omg they bought a haunted house!!!" and then you mentioned the neighbors and... It just escalated to a whole haunted neighborhood 😂 stay safe don't go looking for trouble alone! When you yelled "hello?" I was so scared I thought someone would just start running out of the house...
As soon as the faucet was running I would've left. You are a brave girl!
I was so scared for you walking into the back area. Glad your getting security cameras. So excited to see the progress of everything 💗
Don’t go there alone, ever. EVER.
That must be why all your taps (faucets) were turned on and left on. Maybe whoever it was wanted some water and tried all the taps?! Very freaky though, glad you're OK. Hurry and get there Romeo! Your parents are the best! Greetings from Western Australia 😊
Omg you might be right!!! Cause I had the water off!
I would take the water meter tool with you when you aren’t there.
That's what I thought, too. I don't believe anyone sheltered there, but someone saw an empty property and needed water desperately. Loved how your mother instinctively assumed it was someone seeking relief from the storm. Hope you're feeling well emotionally, and the intruder (if they genuinely just needed water) is fine as well
@@xomacennavlogs Yes, that could be the explanation, MaCenna. Don't go there alone if you can help it
So glad you were safe. All I could hear when you showed us your brass collection was "look at this stuff. Isn't it neat. Wouldn't you think my collection's complete." 🤣
Your dad is my dad too. The best. Would literally drop whatever he’s doing for me. We’re lucky! Also, welcome to Texas! We are happy to have you 💕
My sister had purchased an old victorian in Sacramento. Apparently homeless people were taking shelter in there before she purchased it. One night they tried to come into the house. She yelled, "We live here now!" LOL! They never came back.
So sad, but so scary. Good thing they left without any trouble
Sacramento CA?
@@ansleylailany2004 yes
MaCenna, it’s only sad if someone was in there and they had good intentions. Otherwise it’s important to protect your property and yourself!
Well said! I'd like to think most individuals mean no one harm. Just trying to stay warm and dry. However, when confronted or startled, it's hard to predict how someone will react. Look forward to hearing if you guys called a family meeting and laid down some new ground rules for being over there. Good luck. Stay well and safe.
Don’t feel rushed to get the house done, the enjoyment is in the process 💗
I’m so so thankful you are okay. Your angles were with you!
Kingsley is just the cutest!!!
Scary! 😳 Be careful out there! Maybe someone was living in the abandoned neighborhood before the houses started selling.
This was my thought too. Could have been there before you, or just came back to an old safe space to wait out the storm.
I’d have been terrified especially being on your own best move call dad ! Always best however old you are thank god you ok xx
You took out the loft from the guest cottage- I think that is the best plan. Everything on one story makes it simpler, more accessible, less liability, and it can still sleep 4.
your dad did not hesitate so sweet 🥺
You telling the creepy story of a possible break in and Kinsley’s in the background grunting and playing. 😆 love ❤️ it!!
HAHHA she wasss!!!!!
So glad you are safe but got a bit scary for a minute. Glad you are putting up security camaras. Might add lights to the back yard too. If there is a next time, get in your car and lock the doors while you wait for your Dad. Huggs lady!
exactly! you don't walk around the shed going 'hello, is anyone there?' lol
I love you, showing a spot of weakness when starting a healthy diet, we all do it but hide it .
Your mom is adorable 🥺
It is scary and distressing, hopefully the person moved on and with the work you and your neighbours are doing should discourage any more of this. Love your candleholders collection, the tall twisted stems are called barley twist stems 🥰
why was I scared i was going to see someone in the background the entire time lolll spooky
Just want to say you’re a very lucky girl to have such loving & devoted parents. They drop everything and help you... love it. I enjoy your videos so much Your enthusiasm is contagious. Also I covet your dog.. K is the best !
I think you should sage smudge all the buildings on your property, post some "No Trespassing" signs, and hook up motion detector lights to go with those cameras you install. When you move into the finished home, get an additional dog.
Quick side note, those "wildflowers", look like goat heads and you may want to pull those if you don't want to get burs in your new house and on the bottom of your shoes, or your little ones' paws. Stay safe ^-^
What’s burs? And why is it bad? Just curious
@@jessicafigueroa822 because they are freaking painful lol! 😃 If you Google them, you'll be able to see how knarly those things are...they are also known as "stickers" if that's a better reference (I've also heard another name before but can't remember it now). I didn't see the typical yellow flowers though, so probably different species 🤷....? Looks like new homework for me (my neighbor has those and I have to pay attention and pull the strays in my yard before they go to seed 😂😭 Eeee-ouch!). Ps...if you hear "burr clover," those are like a saint in comparison.
@@jessicafigueroa822 spinas
Yeah, those are definitely what I call "puncture vines" and they're the worst weed because they grow those spiky ball thorns that hurt your feet and pop your bike tires. Good thing she's digging up the yard anyway, because otherwise I'd say rip out the whole thing and start over, because they're going to be everywhere in such a large, ignored property.
the speed of your dad dropping the call to come be there with you was too pure 🥺
Glad you called your dad to check out the workshop. Stay safe
That is so scary!! I’m glad you’re okay. Hopefully that person doesn’t come around ever again.
Oh I see. You’re gonna start making horror movies now.
Girl. My nerves were SHOT watching this. Lol
Situations like this reaffirm my conviction to be a complete coward whenever something is off 🙈
I would have called someone to come get me, shared my location, knocked on neighbors' doors, sprouted wings and flown home...🙊🙊🙊🙉
bless your mom's heart -- that her first reaction was that someone was probably just trying to take shelter and get warm
Girl run! Someone has been in there and is messing with you. I’ve heard all you’re hearing.
Get in the car, call DAD, MOM, POLICE!
Thank you for calling DAD! Call the POLICE!
It was never smelly before, they climbed in there and caused that damage.
We could hear the noises you heard as well.
Is it just me or was the squeking sound the same as when MaCenna was going in to the shed? I feel like the sounds were: 7:13 metallic sound (tools dragged over something or some things falling over?), later in 7:13, or 7:14 big bang (someone coming down from the roof or opening a door very hard?), 7:19 squeaky sound (someone going in to the backyard shed, probably grabbing their stuff from in there), 7:30 squeaky sound again (them coming out and running away). Is it just me? Listen to this part again and tell me I’m wrong?? And the fact that it happend when you walked away from the kitchen and dining room into the bathroom (further away from seeing them in the backyard?) OMG this was so scary
Omg, that makes sense!
At 6:35 / 6:36 you can hear a noise that sounds WAYYY too similar to a sneeze while she's talking 0.0
omg you are so brave!! i would have gotten so scared with all those noises and then the stuff in the shed, i would have just sped on out of there!
That scared me also. Yep get those cameras up. Take care, so glad your dad and mom are there in Texas with you.
Love seeing your Mom and Dad in your videos .
Boyyyyy was I scared , I kept saying “Don’t go in there get out 😩😩😩”! Lol
On the scary parts, I kept reminding myself that she was fine and safe since she posted this video 🙈 nerve-wracking! We love you please stay safe!
Ok this actually was actually scary!!! I’m watching like “get out, get out, get outttt!!!” I’m so glad you’re ok❤️
The fireplace on the cottage house plan is placed on the living room wall that is not shared with another room. All the heat generated by using the fireplace would be partially wasted. Maybe the plan needs to be revised to place the fireplace on the wall between the living room and the bedroom, which would need to be heated during the winter months, no?
Macenna I love you girl I’m feeling funky today too and I put on your vid to cheer me up and there is nothing more comforting than seeing you impulse buy a large fry from McDonald’s and talk about your frustrations like a normal human 😂 so relatable and real.
EDIT: I made this comment before watching the rest of the vid and just want to add so glad you’re safe!!
Large fries are a dollar on the McDonald's app
Thanks sis I appreciate you!
Reading this comment out of context made me LOL
This comment needs many more likes 🍟
Fries Before Guys!!
🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟
I was thinking the same thing, like who tf pays $3 for them??
the way the camera was angled it reminded me of "the blair witch project".
Cool on cleaning the brass. My grandmother used it to clean copper, it took the grime off as well. Cheers
You are so lucky to have such caring parents!
