Searching for your Boo?

Scotland’s dating scene is being haunted by the spread of ghosting with two thirds of Gen Z Scots (16 to 24 year-olds) having experienced the phenomenon, according to new research by IRN-BRU, but there's no better time than Halloween to vanquish this horror.

To rid the nation's ghosts this October, we have summoned Dan Harry, as our very own 'Ghost BRU-ster' to host the ultimate BRU-themed dating night - and only those who have been on the receiving end of someone cutting off all contact with no explanation are invited.

Dan Harry said: "Heartache shouldn't haunt anyone's Halloween so I'm reaching out to spirited singles who have been ghosted to guide them to resurrect their love lives. Together with IRN-BRU we want to hear your ghost(ed) stories to get the chance to exorcise those dating demons and maybe even find a kindred spirit.

Bringing a BRU-nique twist to Halloween, IRN-BRU is teaming up with Glasgow’s El Perro Negro to host the ultimate Halloween party for ghosted daters. The restaurant will be transformed into an enchanting dating night like no other, with tricks and treats, including an IRN-BRU inspired menu and cocktail selection. IRN-BRU pulled pork sliders will be served up alongside veggie deep fried haggis with BRU sauce and Ghost BRU-ster Dan will also be on hand to play cupid in an enchanting venue which will be fizzing with eerie surprises.

To share your ghost(ed) stories, and be in with a chance of winning a spot at the event singletons should visit IRN-BRU’s Instagram or TikTok channels.
