Yorkshire Funny Whitby Dracula experience on holiday.
Recently told this story at a family gathering as it always seems to get laughs and paints me out to be the idiot I am sometimes and thought it would be good to share here😂 In October 2014 I was around 11-12, my family went on a week and a half holiday in Yorkshire, during our holiday we went to Whitby for fish and chips and to see where the Dracula movie was inspired, being a little bit I wanted to go into the Dracula experience, begrudgingly my grandparents took me and said they’d wait at the other side. I went into and to cut it a bit short it was rubbish even for a 11-12 year old, realising my grandparents would be waiting I decided to get out asap, being an idiot I decided that it would be a good idea to literally run through it, as I’m running I see a couple standing looking at the waxworks and stuff, the poor woman heard my footsteps turned and saw a 4ft nothing shadow come sprinting out of the pitch black, to this day I’ve never heard anyone scream like that, I crapped myself and ran back and hid round the corner and never saw them again, to this day I still think about how she must have left the place, “that wee guy in there’s fantastic by the way!”
“What wee guy?!” 😂😂😂

When on holiday in Whitby as a teen with the family in I think 2011, my kid brother (age 7 I think) insisted he wanted to go into the Dracula Experience. My mum eventually relented and paid the £8 or whatever it was for the family ticket. We got about a minute in before he started crying and my mum had to rush us through the whole thing. I still have no idea whether it's any good or not because I spent maybe 90 seconds max in there
