From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If you were an American Horror Story fan scouring Airbnb for potential places to stay on your next trip last week, you could have been in for one hell of a treat: the show's famous Murder House was available to rent.
The LA-based mansion - the setting for the horror anthology's first season - was listed on the site for $1,450 a night (that's £1,023). Variety states the building can accommodate over 16 people with its nine bedrooms and four bathrooms.
The listing was reported to have read: “One of the most important estates ever built in Los Angeles, The Alfred Rosenheim Mansion was declared a historical monument and cultural landmark. built in 1908, this stunning architectural masterpiece boasts original features throughout."
It failed to mention the mansion has also appeared on numerous TV shows. Besides American Horror Story, it has also featured in The Twilight Zone, The X-Files and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
The first season of American Horror Story followed the Harmon family - led by Connie Britton and Dylan McDermott - who move into the house unaware it's inhabited by the ghosts of those who have previously been killed there.
Murder House made a one-scene appearance in the show's latest season, Hotel - one of the only few times the show has revealed each standalone season exists within the same universe.
The listing has since been removed but you can see photos of the mansion here.
We hope whoever's renting it doesn't run into Rubber Man.
