06-03-2024 - On This Day in Insane History

On June 3rd, 2024 in the small village of Skoobarp, Spain, the townspeople woke to a most unusual sight. During the night, the statue of town founder Bartholomew Skoobar had seemingly come to life and embarked on a jaunt through the cobblestone streets. According to eyewitnesses, the large stone figure, usually stationary in the town square, was spotted ambling past windows around 3 AM, waving its carved arm at anyone who happened to be looking out.

By morning, the statue had made its way through the entire village and returned to its rightful place in the square, not a stone out of place. When questioned by local authorities, the stone Skoobar remained silently stoic. Though baffled, the villagers decided not to question their good fortune, merely saying a prayer of thanks to their enigmatic founder for bringing them an evening of wonder and mystery. To this day, no one knows how or why the statue marched that night, but ten years later the entire village would swear that upon its anniversary, they spotted the statue's lips curled ever so slightly in a wistful smile.
