New Orleans Gargoyle
👁️ Lurking on walls and rooftops around New Orleans is one of the strangest creatures we’ve ever come across. Most people who spot it call it a gargoyle, but it’s actually something far more disturbing known as a grotesque. Unlike true gargoyles that were built to move rainwater away from old buildings, grotesques were created purely to unsettle the people looking at them.
😨 Its twisted body looks almost human as it crawls across the brick holding up a decapitated screaming head like some kind of warning hanging over the streets of New Orleans. And the creepiest part is that people claim they’ve spotted this thing on different buildings across the city, almost like it moves when nobody’s watching.
🗯️ If you spot this creature anywhere else around New Orleans, let us know where you saw it.
