A group of Airbnb guests have claimed that their joyful 50th high school reunion party at a rental property in Michigan turned into a “Halloween horror movie” when they were attacked by a “horde” of bats.
The distressed renters have filed a civil complaint against Airbnb for having “negligently allowed the bat-infested home to be advertised on the platform,” according to a press release from Marko Law representing the plaintiffs.
The lawsuit also names as defendants the owners of the bat-riddled property in the city of Alpena, nicknamed “The Castle,” and maintenance workers, accusing them of failing to ensure the residence was safe before it was put up for rent.
