Ohio is being forced to close due to a loss
64
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:51.439
of their venue space after operating at the same location
65
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.360
since twenty seventeen. Two weeks before the start of this
66
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:57.319
Halloween season, their landlord's attorneys sent them a letter saying
67
00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:59.400
their lease will not be renewed and they only have
68
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.680
two months to dismantle their traction and vacate the premises.
69
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:06.080
The short notice has caused financial difficulties and emotional stress.
70
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:08.840
To David Barton, Ghuhle Brothers owner and creator, I don't
71
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.120
even know where to begins at Barton. We're losing hundreds
72
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.879
of thousands of dollars of investment because of this happening.
73
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:15.919
He said that with more notice about the end of
74
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:17.759
their lease. We could have been looking for a buyer
75
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.000
looking for a property. We could have started to move
76
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.480
and started divesting. While Barton hopes to rebuild and reopen someday,
77
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.399
he says that that will be financially difficult and finding
78
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.199
a new location that can house the sixteen thousand square
79
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:33.240
foot attraction could be a challenge. Hundreds of revelers in Dublin, Ireland,
80
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:36.120
lined up on October thirty first for a much anticipated
81
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:39.879
Helloween parade that didn't actually exist. After a post for
82
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.639
a Halloween parade went viral from a website called My
83
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.319
Spirit Halloween dot Com. Thousands of people flocked to O'Connell
84
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:50.120
Street in Dublin on a Halloween night, but found no barricades, security,
85
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:52.519
or any indication that a parade was going to occur.
86
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:56.079
Around eight pm, an hour after the events listed start time,
87
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:59.000
Dublin Police published a social media post stating that no
88
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:02.079
parade was scheduled and asked all revelers to disperse from
89
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:05.120
the area. The owner of My Spirit Halloween dot Com,
90
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.120
Nazi Ali, said that the parade listing was made in
91
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:10.360
airror and was one of their writers. Used a post
92
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.040
of a previous parade and was unaware that the event
93
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:15.560
was not taking place in twenty twenty four. We were
94
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.240
highly embarrassed and shamed and we were really sorry about
95
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:20.600
it that because of us, people wasted their time and money,
96
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:23.240
Ali said in a statement to press. The Dublin Police
97
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:25.439
released a statement saying that the event will not be
98
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:29.199
investigated as no criminal offenses were disclosed. They further advised
99
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.279

00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:36.600
