A family walked into their suite at Great Wolf Lodge. After taking just a few steps through the door, their toddler started to scream. The family questioned whether she sensed something terrifying.
In a video with over 5.4 million views, TikToker Alexander (@dessabooalexander) turns on her camera to do a room tour of their spacious room at the indoor amusement park. Then, her toddler starts to cry and tries to run out of the room.
“Oh, she don’t like this room,” she remarks. “Wasn’t expecting that!”
The TikToker continues to walk around the hotel room, showing off multiple beds, a loft, and a fireplace. Her child continues to cry in the background.
“Is there something in here? We rebuke it!” the TikToker exclaims.
The caption reads, “Our loft at great wolf lodge. My 2 year old sensed something in that room immediately.”
Is Great Wolf Lodge Haunted?
Many commenters referenced a creepy story about an “adjoining room” at Great Wolf Lodge, suggesting that the TikToker’s child sensed something similar.
The story originated on the r/paranormal subreddit, with a mom recounting a scary experience she had with her family at the resort. She says both of her young children reported seeing a shadowy figure in their room. The story has since circulated on several TikTok accounts, with some using clips from Alexander’s video to stitch.
In another video, the TikToker reacts to the comparisons between her toddler’s reaction and the adjoining room story. She says TikTok is taking it “too far,” even though she believes her daughter may have sensed something paranormal.
“We did not go through this. We did not even have an adjoining room,” she says.
In a comment, she explained that she inquired about switching rooms, but the resort was fully booked.
“Nothing abnormal happened, we stayed out of the room as much as possible and I did lots of praying,” she writes. “Couldn’t switch rooms because they were booked so we stayed so our kids could enjoy the activities.”
What Is Discernment?
Some commenters point out that the TikToker’s toddler may have a spiritual gift called “discernment.”
This is the belief that certain people may be able to see paranormal entities more easily than others. While Christian circles typically call the ability “discernment,” other religions or spiritual practices may refer to it as “mediumship” or “clairvoyance.”
Some people who have discernment say they feel a heightened intuition or “gut feeling” about situations they find themselves in. Members of the r/truechristian subreddit explain what it’s like to have the gift.
“Discernment is just being able to tell what is and isn’t from God,” one explained.
“Well, it can be hard to explain, but, personally, I’ve experienced the capability to determine if there was a demonic presence with me in the room,” a second claimed.
A third commenter wrote, “It feels like ‘Am I the only one who is seeing this?’ And often it seems like that is the case.”
Would You Stay In The Room?
In the comments of the viral TikTok, viewers share how they would have responded to the toddler’s terrified reaction at Great Wolf Lodge.
“Me running to the front desk to switch our room….,” one said.
Another wrote, “She didnt sense it she SAW IT!!! Talking about its nothing. Get her out that room.”
“If my baby not comfortable I’m not comfortable,” a third added.
However, others joked about the supposed paranormal entity in the room.
A commenter joked, “Wait… She can see me?!!!”
“The ghost after she screamed in his face before he could say anything,” a second commented with a reaction picture of a girl looking unamused.
“Baby girl must’ve seen the great wolf herself,” another quipped.
