a Airbnb customer claims to have made an unexpected discovery after finding an abandoned mall under his bedroom.
Claire Scheulin, who rented the Airbnb unit, posted an exploration of her findings on it TIC Tac channel.
She and a friend rummaged through the abandoned retail space, which she described as “a little scary.” His videos have been viewed over 7 million times.
In the footage, Ms Scheulin captures an empty promenade area that appeared to be long abandoned. However, a video showed that at least one mall – a cafe in the center of the establishment – still seemed to attract guests.
She said she would not share a link to the Airbnb where she was staying before she and her friend left.
Users understood that the mall was likely located in Florida and the building apparently had a number of apartments built on top of it that were still active.
They suggested the mall was the Oceanwalk Mall since closed in Hollywood Beach, Florida.
The Airbnb listing of apartments built above does not mention that there is access to the mall in the basement, but the account does show a photo of the entrance.
Another user who has stayed in the apartments confirmed that he also found the mall and called it “run down” and “sketchy”.
Many social media commentators have said the story reminded them of an urban internet legend called “The Backrooms”, about an office worker who is unwittingly transported into an empty and unavoidable maze of offices that just exist in Canada. -beyond our reality.
The abandoned mall isn’t the first time a TikTok user has discovered something unusual while staying at an Airbnb.
Another user claimed to have found a secret room behind an air vent in an Airbnb where he was staying.
In a video posted to TikTok, the user showed that behind an air vent is a dark, hidden room. He said he felt like he had been watched, although he could not provide any evidence to prove his suspicions.
He did not specifically disclose the location of the Airbnb, but did use a hashtag for Richmond, Virginia in his posts.
