The most terrible houses that are rented on Airbnb

Why stay in an ordinary apartment or house rented through the Airbnb service, if you can travel through time or spend the night in a historical place shrouded in mysterious legends? Fans of goosebumps on the back, brave enough to stay in an old hospital, a psychiatric hospital or a funeral hall, may find that the time of sleep coincides with an entertainment program in the form of ghostly guests or extraneous rustles.

Airbnb has compiled a list of the world's scariest rental homes, which also includes a haunted house in the Midwestern United States: if guests encounter paranormal activity there and are forced to flee, they will not be compensated for their accommodation.
