Guests dare to stay in a ‘haunted’ Airbnb that was once a former chapel and mental asylum

In a country as old as Britain, there are many places that claim to be ‘haunted’ because they were built on ruins centuries ago, during the time of the Romans.

But sometimes these buildings have a real story behind them.

It is this scary story that creates rumors of ghosts and hauntings.

This is certainly the case when it comes to the Church of Leicester.

This place was once an old chapel that was part of a mental asylum, which is probably why it attracts so many horror fans.

At present, the old 3,000 square foot chapel acts as a huge Airbnb with two bedrooms that can accommodate four people in total.



Leicester Church dates back to 1837

The origins of the church date back to 1837.

And thanks to this rich history, visitors sometimes feel like going on a ghost hunt.

The house still looks like a chapel from the outside, with a familiar red exterior and stained glass windows.

But inside are great rooms with all the amenities to help you enjoy your stay. It even has a home cinema room and a pool table.

The Airbnb has a large kitchen and even includes a home theater room and pool table, making it the perfect place for a trip with friends.
