This is just...strange, macabre, creepy.
Airbnb has a unique Halloween getaway that may sound like it will be crowded. Travelers can spend the night with about 6 million other former Parisians if you're lucky enough to run Airbnb's contest.
The home rental website is giving two people, the winner and one guest, to legally stay in the catacombs that snake below the streets of Paris.
The reservation will be for, what else, but on Halloween night, and offers a tour, bed, dinner, a private concert and breakfast.
A storyteller will also weave tales from the crypts before you head off to sleep, the listing said.
Officials said that Airbnb paid about $400,000 to privatize the tunnels, The Guardian reported.
During the 18th century, remains from cemeteries were transferred to the tunnels because of public health concerns.
The tunnels measure about 1.2 miles.
Film crews and fashion shows have used the catacombs in years past, The Guardian reported.
It has also hosted about 500,000 visitors a year.
If you want a chance to compete, those interested have to enter the contest before midnight on Oct. 20, telling Airbnb why you should be chosen in 100 words or less.
