Rachael Gibbons (@blueskies5591) filmed herself getting to the bottom of the mystery in a video on TikTok.

“My house is 102 years old and has a milk door,” read the text.

A milk door is an old feature where a milk man would deliver fresh dairy while removing old milk bottles from the other side.

“I’ve always wanted to open it,” Rachael added.

She slipped on a pair of gloves, attempting to open the milk door to no avail.

“The previous owners sealed it shut,” she said. “But I’m determined.”

She shared her excitement on what could be hiding behind the well-sealed door.

“The anticipation,” she said. “What is inside?”

Finally, resorting to using a flat head screwdriver to pry the door open, she cracked the case.

“Moment of truth,” she said.

Opening the door, she realized it contained nothing but some old dirt that needed vacuuming.

“Oh, that’s it? That’s some bulls***,” she said.

She didn’t let the non-discovery get her down, asking viewers if they have ideas on how to spruce it up.

“Oh well,” she said. “What should I do with it?”

She also considered the possibility of simply closing the milk door back up again.

“I don’t know what I was expecting, honestly. Should I just seal it back up?” she said.

One viewer shard her idea for the feature in the comment section, writing: “Use [it] for packages.”
