What is The Dracula Experience in Whitby?

In 1885, the Russian schooner The Demeter was caught in a violent storm and wrecked on Tate Hill Sands in Whitby harbour. Strangely, every crew member was found dead - including the captain, who was tied to the helm. As the ship ran aground, witnesses saw a large black dog leap ashore and race up the 199 steps to Whitby Abbey. Legend holds that such a creature is one of the many forms a vampire can take. It was said that Count Dracula had arrived in England…
