Haunted Tourism Coverage Widens

Earlier reports said Norwegian Air named Edinburgh’s South Bridge Vaults Europe’s most frightening tourist attraction. Subsequent coverage has focused more broadly on a surge of interest in local ghost lore and spooky heritage across Britain — from Whitby Abbey, Cornwall’s phantom ships and Dunwich’s lost port to Pluckley and Ballygally Castle — reported by outlets including the BBC, Express, Independent and Irish Times. Eyewitness accounts and guided‑tour anecdotes, including unexplained injuries and filmmaker encounters, are highlighted to give contemporary immediacy to the tales. That folklore is being monetized through commercial haunted attractions and seasonal events, and studies and local reporting note strong demand for haunted‑house experiences. Cultural coverage and archival features trace Halloween’s evolution and show how media, museums and audio programming keep public interest in spooky tourism alive.
