The Hidden Lens: A Chilling Airbnb Escape

“You fool, this is just the beginning,” the host’s reply sneered, followed by menacing emojis—a knife, a skull, a wink. My wife, Emily, and I froze. We’d just fled our Airbnb after finding a hidden camera in the smoke detector. Panicked, we sped to a motel, calling the police en route. They later found more cameras throughout the cabin and a notebook listing guests—our names marked with “Plan B.” The host, Daniel Carter, had vanished. Months later, we’re still haunted, jumping at every noise, wondering if he’s watching. The police are searching, but the fear lingers: some horrors follow you long after you’ve escaped.
