When thousands gathered at the mentioned address then they realised that there was no event and they'd been fooled. 

Halloween 2024 was recently celebrated across the world on October 31 and it seems like the spirit of the festival is still in the air. Pakistan also took part in it this time and showed one of the best tricks to thousands of people in Dublin, Ireland. A Pakistan-hosted AI-generated website named My Spirit Halloween marketed a Macnas Halloween Parade and told readers that a costume party will be held from 7 pm to 9 pm in Dublin.

When thousands gathered at the mentioned address then they realised that there was no event and they'd been fooled.

As per Vice, the huge crowd that gathered there blocked the streets and the sidewalks of Dublin which forced the police to step in to disperse the crowd. A person from the crowd shared the scene on TikTok and told The Independent that the "Gardaí [Irish national police] were trying to clear the street.” The user added that there was a larger crowd out on the streets due to Diwali celebrations. He said, “It was funny. We are still smiling now.”

Authorities Debunk The Fake Party News

The situation was so bad that Gardaí had to take to X to post a message for people waiting on O’Connell Street to “disperse safely”.

A spokesperson said, “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. All those gathered on O’Connell Street in expectation of such a parade are asked to disperse safely.”

Political party Sinn Fein’s councillor, Janice Boylan, said, “Everyone is trying to have a fun and safe Halloween. Having a parade to go to sounded really good. I know an awful lot of people turned up. It’s a terrible pity.”
