We thought we were just booking a simple Airbnb in Otranto, but the week turned into something else. The house was unsettling from the moment we arrived. All over the ground floor there were strange openings built into the floor, some of them dropping into deep stone shafts. One was filled with bottles, others just sat dark and empty, and they made the whole place feel uneasy. By the second day we found an extinguished cigarette left on a ledge that hadn’t been there before. At night the noises started, sounds we couldn’t explain that kept us awake and on edge.

In this episode we talk about the week we spent in what we started calling our ScareBNB. We share the details that made the stay so unnerving, how it felt to live in that house for days on end, and why this trip to Puglia became one of the strangest travel experiences we have ever had.
