Hundreds of people gathered in Dublin on Thursday, October 31, to attend a Halloween Parade which had been advertised online but turned out to be fake.

According to Dublin Live, a website called My Spirit Halloween claimed a Halloween parade organised by the group Macnas was due to take place.

Macnas, an Irish theatre company, were not scheduled to hold a parade in Dublin, and had instead performed a Halloween-themed parade in Galway the weekend prior.
