Glasgow Residents Creeped Out by BLAIR WITCH Style Stick Statues Popping Up in Parks

Things are getting creepy in the UK–and we’re still only half-way to Halloween! We just told you about a creepy bloke roaming the streets of Norfolk in 17th Century plague doctor garb (link below). Now, we’re hearing about crazy Blair Witch-esque stick statues popping up in parks in and around Glasgow.

Glasgow Live reports:

One local noticed a serious of piles of sticks, stacked in a wigwam formation, in a patch of grass while walking through a quiet area of Linn Park near the White Cart Water. And they have joined other similar structures spotted over the past few days within Pollok Park and Queen’s Park over the past few days.

In The Blair Witch Project (1999), a trio of documentarians receives strange harbingers of terror to come in the form of effigies and symbols made out of sticks.

Can any Dread Central readers in Scotland tell us what the heck is going on? Let us know in the comments below or on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram! You can also carry on the convo with me personally on Twitter @josh_millican.
