Escape To Margaritaville

Con el Tour The Northside aprenderá aspectos de la historia de Dublín y sus leyendas más escalofriantes. Entre estas destacan: La historia de Lord Norbury, conocido por ser el infame y sádico “Juez Colgante” que presidió el juicio de Robert Emmet, un patriota irlandés que lucho por la emancipación de Irlanda. Lord Norbury fue odiado por el pueblo irlandés en vida y en la muerte regresó para continuar un reinado de terror. La leyenda de Scaldbrother, el infame ladrón medieval cuyo tesoro enterrado aún puede yacer en un laberinto de túneles debajo de Smithfield. La fábula sobre el mendigo apuesto y deforme Billy Davis, o “Billy the Bowl”, aterrorizó las calles del suburbio Grangegorman en el siglo XVIII. Para los más valientes el tour les guía por Hendrick Street, donde en el pasado habían dos de las casas más embrujadas de Dublín. Entre estas dos casas Hendrick Street era hogar de más de seis fantasmas diferentes. En la década de 1960 estas casas fueron derribadas, pero ¿y los fantasmas? ¿Y qué hay del hospital embrujado? Los fantasmas de las enfermeras han sido vistos durante años por toda la manzana ¿Podrían ser la razón por la que las sillas de las oficinas del edificio adyacente giran por sí mismas? ¿O por lo que los juguetes electrónicos se encienden y apagan solos? Además, el tour se aventura en el parque Croppies Acre. Este lugar fue abandonado durante muchos años, y en el siglo XX fue utilizado como campo de fútbol. La parte sorprendente de este lugar es que durante la rebelión de 1798 el parque se utilizó como fosa común para los cientos de rebeldes ejecutados. ¡Los espíritus que viven en esta zona muchas veces intentar comunicarse! La atracción considerada como la más macabra de Irlanda es la Iglesia de Saint Michan, que sirvió de inspiración para el joven Bram Stoker, nativo de Clontraf y autor de Drácula. Otra parada del tour es la pared donde, en el siglo XX, hubo una aparición de la Virgen María. Miles de transeúntes afirman haber visto dicha imagen ¿Puedes?   Testimonios: “Fue uno de los mejores tours de fantasmas en los que he estado. Todo el grupo sintió que la temperatura bajada cuando salíamos de la Abadía de Saint Mary. Fue realmente extraño.” Alison, San Francisco, California “Me gustó que se tomaran el tema en serio. Los lugares del tour están realmente embrujados, y las personas sensibles del tour definitivamente parecían estar experimentando algo. Hendrick Street fue interesante.” Paul, Dallas, Texas “Lo que me gustó del Tour The Northside es cuán comunes son los lugares: tiendas, museos y parques que la gente usa todos los días sin darse cuenta de lo que sucedió allí. Nunca he sido realmente creyente, pero juro que vi a alguien caminando por el Croppies Acre, y en mis fotografías salen algunas cosas realmente raras.” Sarah, Edimburgo, Escocia “¡Muchas gracias! ¡Vivo en Hendrick Street, y después de su tour, creo que tendré que mudarme!” Ciaran, Dublín
