Edinburgh train passenger finds bottle of 'holy water' after suitcase mix-up

An Edinburgh train passenger got more than she bargained for after realising she had taken the wrong case back to her home after a lengthy journey. One item in particular stood out amongst the rest.

Travelling from the capital to Aberdeen, Danielle Watson posted the comedic video of her looking through, what she mistook as her suitcase, on TikTok, going viral in the process. One of the weirdest inclusions in the mystery case was a clear spray bottle marked: 'Holy Water'. While it's unknown if Danielle sprayed the unknown substance, it certainly wouldn't be on everyone's list of travel items to remember.

Danielle posted a video on the popular social media app as she trawled through the case mistaking it for her own, and finding several unusual items, reports the Record. The case did include the usual necessities, including clothes, magazines etc, but the bottle of 'holy water' really put a surprised look in Danielle's face. There was also a book from the St Patrick Society.

Since being posted on Monday, June 20, the video has already gathered just under 30 thousand views. Danielle said: "Not what your expecting when you accidentally steal someone's case. I've just got home and I've unopened my case from the train going from Edinburgh to Aberdeen, actually London to Aberdeen and this isn't my case..."

Trying to see if any of the items in the rogue case could help trace the real owner, Danielle came across the bottle. After finding the more religious items, she said: "I'm going to hell, it's official."

Many have been asking for updates on the rest of the story. Steven Smith said: "Holy water rocked me, updates on the rest of this saga would be appreciated." Danielle has now let eager TikTok users know that the holy water has been returned and her case had been found!

One user commented: "Some nun is gonna get a big surprise." Another added: "Tell me you’re Irish without telling me you’re Irish - bottled holy water."
