A family’s beach vacation took a bizarre turn when the family checked into Airbnb and discovered an old photo of them hanging on the wall.
TikTok user Aubrey Birrell posted a video of her horrified reaction to an Airbnb in San Diego, California on July 2.
In the video, Birrell zooms in on a large beach canvas hanging in the hallway of an Airbnb, pointing out tiny figures in the water and identifying his father, sister and brother.
