“No parade for Halloween”
Hundreds of Dublin residents turned out for a Halloween parade. There was only one problem — the parade didn’t happen.
Large crowds gathered in the centre of the Irish capital last Thursday night after a fake website promoted an event on O’Connell Street to mark October 31.
Furious bus and tram drivers were unable to get through the hundreds of locals waiting for the parade.
Eventually, the police had to be called to get a handle on the situation.
The Irish police later posted on X: ‘Please be advised that contrary to information being circulated online, no Halloween parade is scheduled to take place in Dublin City Centre this evening or tonight.’
They asked all the onlookers on O’Connell Street to go home.
The problem started at a website called My Spirit Halloween, which features an AI-generated list of events in the Dublin area.
