Washington Birthday Getaway Turns Terrifying After Women Find Hidden Room in ‘Haunted Airbnb’
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON — What started as a fun birthday getaway quickly turned into a real-life horror movie for a group of Washington women after they discovered a hidden room beneath their Airbnb, prompting sleepless nights, strange noises, and eerie suspicions about the property’s owner.
The story — shared on TikTok by user @Trh614 — has gone viral, amassing tens of thousands of views as viewers watch the women’s frightening “Haunted Airbnb” discovery unfold in real time.
‘It Was Scary to Sleep’: A Weekend Turns Creepy
The woman behind the video said she and her friends had rented an Airbnb for a weekend birthday celebration. The home, located far from town with no cell service, already felt unsettling.
“It was creepy,” she recalled. “The whole place gave me bad vibes.”
After settling in, the group noticed a large hatch in the floor — something none of them had expected. At first, they thought it might be a crawl space. But the hatch was far too big — large enough to span most of the dining room floor.
“After a few drinks, we got brave enough to open it,” the woman said.
When they lifted the hatch, they found what appeared to be an entire staircase leading into a basement or hidden room, complete with a light switch. The eerie discovery left the group shaken.
They immediately covered the hatch with the dining table before heading to bed.
“It was scary to sleep,” she added, noting that two of her friends reported vivid nightmares that night.

Airbnb Reviews Reveal Disturbing Details
The following morning, curiosity led the group to check the home’s Airbnb reviews — and that’s when the trip’s spooky vibe took a darker turn.
While most comments were positive, one review claimed the property owner lived in the garage behind the house and was known to “walk around the property at night.”
The chilling discovery added to the group’s unease, especially after they began hearing strange noises and noticing objects out of place inside the home.
“We were done after that,” the woman said. “We packed our things and got out immediately.”
Internet Reacts to the Creepy Airbnb Discovery
TikTok users flooded the comments with reactions ranging from humor to genuine fear. Some joked that the situation sounded straight out of a Netflix thriller, while others warned viewers to always check Airbnb reviews carefully before booking remote properties.
“This is literally the start of every horror movie,” one commenter wrote.
Another added, “No cell service, weird vibes, a hidden room… girl that’s a ghost story waiting to happen.”
Others speculated that the basement might have been used for storage or past tenants, but most agreed the setup — and timing — felt unnerving.
A Birthday They’ll Never Forget
The group said they haven’t returned to the property since, though the experience left a lasting impression.
While it remains unclear whether anything truly paranormal occurred, the women’s “haunted Airbnb” story has captivated social media users across the country — proving that sometimes, the scariest stories aren’t movies at all, but vacations gone wrong.
