Hotel Owner Finds Image of E.T. in a Log; Spielberg Shows Up Shortly Thereafter
We’ve got a really strange story for you today, as you probably gathered from the above headline. It’s not uncommon for people to find images of Christ in things like burnt toast and stains on the sidewalk, though one man’s recent discovery quite frankly puts all the Jesus nonsense to shame.
While chopping up a log to warm guests at the Uig Hotel on the Isle of Skye off the Scottish coast, owner Billy Harley was shocked to discover the image of loveable alien E.T. within the piece of wood. He nicknamed the log “E-Tree,” and the story only gets more unusual from there.
Not long after making the discovery, E.T. director Steven Spielberg showed up on the Isle of Skye to shoot Roald Dahl adaptation The BFG, and believe it or not, filming took place right behind the Uig Hotel. It was as if Spielberg was drawn towards the locale by the ghost of his most beloved creation.
“Filming took place in the Fairy Glenn directly behind the Uig Hotel,” said Harley. “We heard a strange rustling, and I phoned home. My wife did a quick Google and found the news that our forest is going to be in a Spielberg movie. I went up to have a look, but by the time I got there, they were gone, so I missed out on a close encounter. I hope I’ll be able to buy Mr. Spielberg a pint next time he’s here. I’ll be right here.”
”The Isle of Skye is a magnet for filmmakers all over the world,” the hotel owner continued. ”We had a crew filming Prometheus a few years back and now this. It’s weird that all these films about monsters and aliens are made here. We’re quite a friendly island really.”
