Bram Stoker set parts of Dracula in Whitby after a holiday there — the town's team are now in the first round of the FA Cup
In the seaside town that inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula, strange goings-on are nothing new. Every Halloween sees Whitby invaded by hundreds of goths walking the streets dressed as everything from vampires to skeletons. Then there’s the holiday resort’s reputation for ghostly apparitions, including St Hilda roaming Whitby Abbey. The Abbey is moody but picturesque, with ruins that stand high above the harbour.
As I was getting off, the conductor comes over the PA system and says, ‘We’d all like to wish Whitby Town well tonight in the FA Cup’. He’d clocked me earlier in the journey.” Whitby’s distinctive blue, white and red kit is modelled on Sampdoria, but there’s no hidden link between the Yorkshire coast and the Italian Riviera. “We changed in 1993,” explains Paul Connolly, responsible for an impressive media output that includes the Blucerchiati fanzine.
