Shawn Ryan’s Creepiest Airbnb Experience 😨

Shawn Ryan Show

Shawn Ryan describes a disturbing Airbnb experience at an old cabin where he and companions heard unexplained cowboy boot footsteps upstairs. Upon reviewing the recording, the footsteps were replaced by static, and inspection of reviews revealed a pattern of paranormal activity reports from previous guests.

Summary

Shawn Ryan recounts renting an old cabin in the woods for what appears to be a content evaluation with two other individuals. During filming, all three people distinctly heard the sound of cowboy boots walking on the floor above them. The video captures their synchronized reaction as they look up and at each other in alarm, prompting Ryan to declare they need to leave immediately. However, when reviewing the recording afterward, the footsteps are completely absent—replaced only by static audio. This discrepancy between what they heard in real-time and what the camera captured raises questions about the nature of the experience. Ryan then checks the Airbnb reviews and discovers a troubling pattern: approximately 30% of reviews contain warnings about paranormal activity, with guests reporting phenomena such as knocking sounds that are answered by knocking back from within the walls, and explicit warnings against visiting after dark. Ryan realizes he is not alone in his experience, and that this cabin appears to have a documented history of unexplained occurrences among multiple previous guests.

Transcript

[0:00] We were renting an old cabin in the woods, and in the middle of the camera recording, we could hear the footsteps of cowboy boots upstairs. The video shows me looking up, and then the two guys I was evaluating are also looking up and looking at me at the same time. I said, "We have to get out of here." We reviewed the recording, and instead of footsteps, all we could hear was static . We opened reviews on Airbnb, and, hell, 30% of the reviews were like, "Don't knock on the walls, they knock back ." "Don't come after [0:30] dark." He said, "Oh, [ __ ]." "So I'm not the only one who's faced this."
