There are plenty of people out there who, for some ungodly reason, pay lots of money to be scared.
Well, here’s an experience you can get that is far less expensive and more realistic. And it’s still scary. Well, for most people anyway.
A man in New York City has turned his seemingly innocent project of videotaping rats in the city to be able to tell the health department where they are now has a thriving tourism business. Instead of checking out all that New York City has to offer, people will actually pay this man to take them on a nighttime tour of where the rats are.
The man began humbly enough by simply posting his videos on TikTok. His goal was just to alert New York City health officials as to where the problem was, so they could exterminate the rats.
Then, curiously, more fans began to watch the videos and the live streams.
He quickly capitalized on the idea and the eagerness of some tourists to see something different. This is definitely different.
And, of course, there are the now-mythic tales of some New York City rats being as large as puppies. The only question is how you explain that one to friends and family back home.
“Hey, did you see the Statue of Liberty or see any celebrities?”
“No, but I saw 11 rats one night!”
To each their own. But of course, New York isn't the only place with some weird attraction offerings. Plenty of people love the odd and off the wall things to do when traveling.
