A woman described a disturbing encounter when her family discovered a man hidden behind a wall in their vacation rental. Therese had booked the property through Booking.com for a family celebration. Despite the house being listed as unoccupied by the owner, she felt uneasy upon arrival.
Upon meeting the landlord, who claimed he would not be staying, Therese sensed something amiss. Later, upon returning from the party, they noticed peculiar signs indicating the landlord’s presence. This prompted Therese to investigate further, leading to the unsettling discovery of a thin partition wall in the living room.
Behind the fragile wall, they heard a voice, causing immediate alarm. The family swiftly left and confronted the landlord, who denied any prior knowledge of the situation. Feeling traumatized, Therese likened the experience to a chilling documentary.
Expressing ongoing distress, Therese shared her reluctance to book holiday homes in the future, opting for hotels instead. Booking.com initiated an investigation into the incident, suspending the listing for further review to ensure safety and security standards are met.
