    one of the companies OP mentioned :

    http://www.hauntedhappenings.co.uk/

    You have to say, there's a business opportunity there as far as Ireland is concerned.

    Im not sure, the mark up is way too low.Unless you have your own location that is. If your taking 10 people at a time a charing say ... 75 quid per head your breaking even considering this is the price of some locations.

    Some people have tried this and committed themselvesto dates in a location. In the case of one group I met three people turned up on the night out of 15 leaving the organisers well out of pocket. Then there is tax to be taken into account if your running them legit. So a fair wack of what the company makes and then your personal take is eaten into.

    However there are ways around all of this but the return is too small to waste time trying to make it work.

    Wicklow works because it has its own location and a marketing budget.

    im sure though theres plenty of pubs, hotels, BBs and castles across the country that would gladly create their own set of ghost stories to get in organised groups of punters.
