What are your feelings about statues?
Huh?
I quite like them - especially those big ones you see in the middle of cities.
Some people don't like them though - they give them the creeps - they might even see
them move in the corner of their eye.
But that cant be true right?
That would be terrifying - would it?
My name is Danny Burke - and this is the top 10 Scary Statue Stories.
Starting off at number 10 we have Jesus.
This video comes from the Chapel of Saltillo in Mexico.
The camera person is filming a statue of Jesus which is inside a glass box.
As the camera zooms in - this happens - Jesus appears to open his eyes.
The camera then pans off to the right for a moment and after a few seconds, Jesus’
eyes close.
The clip blew up on social media with some people saying it was a miracle, others saying
there had to be an explanation for it but everyone was a little bit creeped out.
One investigator said the clip had been examined for weeks by 20 specialists who found no evidence
that it had been tampered with.
However there have been many videos uploaded online claiming to prove that it is a fake.
You should check it out … At number 9 now we have Snow White.
Not much is known about the clip youre about to see which kinda makes it creepier in a
way.
I can tell you that its from Mexico during the 90s.
The person filming appears to be visiting some sort of kids theme park or exhibition
that contains statues.
He walks up to the snow white one - apparently transfixed by how creepy it looks.
Well, it got a lot creepier when this happened.
Whaaat.
Obviously, the guy freaked out and ran away so we never got another look at snow white.
The whole thing is a mystery.
Perhaps thats why this clip has racked up over half a million views on YouTube …
At number 8 now we have The Ancient Egyptian.
Im sure youve all heard of the ancient egyptian curses right?
They say that removing artifcats from the tombs there will being terror and death to
those involved.
Well, staff at the Manchester Museum in England were a little bit nervous when they noticed
one of their statues appeared to have moved.
They installed a camera to watch it and this is what they saw.
One of their 3,800 year old statues, was slowly spinning round throughout the day as the museums
visitors streamed by.
They think the reason was that the visitors footsteps had caused minute vibrations that
nudged the statue out of place.
Other people still argue that this wouldnt be possible at it is a sign of some ancient
curse …
Coming in at number 7 we have the moving Buddha.
Booda if youre North American.
In 2013, reports started coming out from Malaysia that there were moving Buddhist statues.
Video was taken by the crowds who witnessed the event.
They say it shows one statue moving its lips and blinking - soon after, other statues started
to do the same - apparantley they were even moving their fingers although we don't get
to se that in the video.
Critics of this say it the video could have been manipulated, especially as it was such
poor quality.
However, the crowds of people there that day might have something to say about that.
What do you guys think?
Next up at number 6 we have The Floating Statue.
In the summer of 1985, 100 thousand people visited a statue of Mary in a small Irish
village.
The statue was nothing out of the ordinary until a few locals said they had seen it floating
in the air.
Then a few dozen showed up, then hundreds and finally thousands went to see the event.
When it all started, the local police sergeant was sceptical.
He went down there to check it out and sure enough, there it was floating.
He was convinced it must have been a hoax, something with wires.
He checked behind though and found nothing.
When he tried to move the statue it wouldnt budge.
Critics say there isnt enough evidence and that it could have been a trick of the light.
Interesting story either way … Coming in at number 5 we have Sai Baba.
He was an Indian spiritual master who is known to Indian Hindus and Muslims for his teachings
on shunning materialism and living a life of love and inner peace.
In 2016 a statue of him appeared to practice his teachings.
Whenever believers would put garlands of flowers on him to pay their respects, they would always
end up broken off from him.
The temple owners set up a camera and this is what they saw … critics say the explanation
is simple: gravity.
The garlands were simply slipping off the statue.
But believers still say you can clearly see the statues shoulder moving.
You guys have seen the clip now, what do you think?
Next up at number 4 we have Crying Mary.
In early 2017, in the town of Los Naranos in Argentina, a statue of the Virgin Mary
appeared to cry blood.
Here is the video showing the statue in question.
Some locals called it a miracle while others said it was some kid of punishment and they
were very scared.
Priest Ricardo Quiroga urged everyone to remain calm but said -if she cries again, we need
to do something at a high level in the church- … an investigation team was launched to
find out whether the phenomenon is a hoax or a potential miracle.
At number 3 now we have Jesus … 2.
Yeah Im gonna call this one Jesus 2.
In April 2017, a video from Mexico started circulating online of a statue of Jesus that
appeared to move during a service.
This happened in the state of Halisco during their Good Friday mass.
See what you think.
Did you catch that?
Here it is in slow motion.
Immediately, members of the church started saying it was a miracle.
However, even the priest stayed skeptical and said it could have been the ropes that
hold the statue up coming loose.
Coming in at number 2 we have Jinn.
A jinn is a supernatural creature in Arabic mythology - its where we get our word Genie
from.
They are said to be good, neutral or evil - just like humans.
Here we have a video uploaded in June 2017 that claims to show a Jinn posessing a hindu
statue through its eyes.
As you watch the clip, notice how the statues eyes appear to move - almost as if it was
watching the camera person or even the person watching this video!
One of the most creepy things about this video is that there is little explanation for who
filmed it or what happened to them when the video cut off.
Some critics claim it is an optical illusion while others agree with the uploader that
were seeing something demonic in the video …
And finally at number 1 we have The Cloak.
This clip comes from early 2016 in Vietnam.
Locals in Tapao noticed that a statue of Mary on top of a hill appeared to be moving.
Here you can see the clip with the subtitles of what they were saying.
They appear to be focused on her moving cloak.
It does APPEAR to move, thats for sure BUT - this is an incredibly grainy piece of footage.
Aside from the video, all we really have to go on is the adamant reactions of the people
who witnessed this and the verifying of other locals that it is in fact a known solid statue.
The debate around this video is part of the reason it has amassed over 700 thousand views
… what do you guys think?
And what do you think of the whole video in general?
What other scary stories do you want me to dig up for you?
You know Ill do it!
