Woman expects to see Alps in NC after watching fake TikTok video

The video has more than 5 million views.

"It sounded like a Disney movie, right? Like a little town out of Disney movie," said Olivia Garcia.

Garcia and her family were in the Carolinas to check out the recent snow. When she saw the video on TikTok, she convinced her family to make a stop.

"I was like, 'Oh wait, can we make a pit stop in this place called Gastonia, because I just saw this TikTok and it looks so pretty,'" she said.

Garcia isn't surrounded by mountains in Florida and was thrilled at the opportunity to see them.

"And then all of a sudden we get there and it's just rundown gas stations," she said. "Like we had to go the bathroom and there was no bathroom that worked in any of the gas stations. I made us drive an hour out of the way because of this TikTok."

Garcia's video chronicling her reaction in actual Gastonia has thousands of views.

The man behind the original post is Zachary Keesee, a North Carolina native whose fake location videos have gotten him a lot of views.

He said the "Gastonia" video is really one from his trip to Switzerland.

Keesee said he gets millions of views.

Even Gastonia's mayor caught on, saying, "While Gastonia is certainly not Switzerland, we're glad people are learning more about our great city. We're glad to see so many people having fun with Zachary Keesee's post, and hopefully Ms. Garcia will come back to see all the great things our city has to offer. In fact, if they want to contact me, I'd love to give them a personal tour and show them what makes our city tick."

Garcia responded, saying, "I am sure there are pretty parts, so I will 100% go back." She said she is not upset, but it's important to not believe everything you see online.

Keesee apologized to Garcia and said he still needs to visit Gastonia.

"I've never stopped in the city and, you know, I think it's time to pay a visit," he said.
