Pakistan-based website pranks thousands for ‘non-existent’ Halloween parade in Dublin, owner apologises

Days after the Halloween parade prank at Dublin’s O’Connell Street went wrong, Pakistan-based website creator – that advertised a non-existent Halloween parade – has publicly apologised to everyone, stating ‘it was a mistake’.

The Pakistan-based website in its statement said that they had no intention of pranking people who gathered in excitement and it was a misunderstanding which resulted in the rapid spread of misinformation leading up to October 31.
