DUBLIN: Thousands of people gathered in Ireland for a Halloween parade that never existed. According to the news of the American agency Vice, after the announcement of the Halloween Day Parade by a website, people dressed in different costumes gathered on a main road of the city in connection with the Halloween festival in Dublin, the capital of Ireland.
The people who gathered to participate in the parade kept waiting for the start of the parade, but with the passage of time, their wait became longer.
Owing to the large number of people gathering, the surrounding roads were also blocked after which the police had to be mobilised and the people gathered for the parade were removed from there.
The police announced that there was no parade scheduled in Dublin, adding to the surprise of those gathered for the parade. According to US media, the parade was announced by an artificial intelligence website called 'My Spirit Halloween' hosted in Pakistan. The website announced that the Halloween Day Parade would be held on Thursday evening from 7pm to 9pm. Although the reason for this false declaration by the website has not been revealed, many people believe that the website's purpose was to earn money from advertisements.
