Women horrified to discover peepholes, hidden rooms and secret tunnels in Airbnb

Real Estate

Two young women have gone viral on TikTok after sharing an uneasy experience at a Portland, Oregon Airbnb where they had been staying.

Tierra Burris and Scarlet Wolf had booked a two-week stay at the rental before realizing some eerie quirks within.

To start things off, Burris claimed the owners had initially provided the wrong address and they could not locate the home.

“First thing … we get here, they did not give us the right address,” says Burris. “They gave us an address for a place that does not exist.”

They start the video inside the home, which has amassed almost 5 million views, and acknowledge that when they first walked in, they thought the house was “gorgeous, beautiful.”

But they notice no blinds on any of the windows. Burris says that they couldn’t even access the home through the front door, but rather through another that leads into one of the bedrooms.

“There was a key that she didn’t tell us about hidden outside,” Burris adds, saying that they located the other key near the back door in slabs of concrete.

“There is this little tiny little hole area down here where there was another key that accessed the door that we were not informed of.”

They then go back inside the house to show viewers the inside.

“Now, let’s go to object number one to bring to attention,” Burris says. “There are strange tunnels, holes and ways to this home.”

She then points to a number of hidden closets, peepholes and tunnels.

“This one specifically has a big open space large enough for [a] human beside the cabinet that goes into the bedroom.”

They then move upstairs where they identify several doors that do not close and had locks on the outside. Several closets were also shown to have secret tunnels within them.

As Burris and Wolf make their way down to the basement, they note that the home, which was recently renovated, does have some great features.

“The floors are original hardwood, there are beautiful shower heads and stuff.”

As they make their way into the basement, they notice the lights don’t work, and there are a few secret rooms and a tunnel.

“Object number one. This door leads to God knows where there used to be a lock on the outside. There’s just this little wood block that’s used to be turned quite regularly keeping it closed with an open vent above it.”

“And then there’s this man-size tunnel. A man-sized tunnel. Mind you we’re in Portland, Oregon right now where there’s an active serial killer on the loose.”

Burris is referring to Jesse Lee Calhoun of Portland, as a person of interest in the mystery deaths of four women who died in the area last month.

The women acknowledged they had no intentions of exploring the man-sized holes, tunnels or secret closets, adding they were paying a whopping $3,500 for their stay there.

Burris later made a separate video to say that they were given a full refund.

In response, many shared their concern.

“Newly renovated with tunnels? peep holes? hidden keys? locks on the outside and removed? glad you guys got out and are safe and were refunded,” one person commented.

“The second I found the other key I would have been out of there,” someone wrote.

But others were quick to point out that, though unusual, some of these are known features.

“I’d say that’s weird but most old colonial type houses have those small door holes for like workers working on ventilation and stuff,” one person responded.

“A lot of that is normal for old homes. maybe not the peephole but it’s probably for electrical cords to come through the back to be unseen,” another said.
