People have sent me this picture
before but it's the first time I heard the story behind it. I find the picture
and image very interesting. Take a look at the toes, very unusual!
I received the below
information from a viewer
The above photo (claimed to be a creature in a rock crevice) is a photo of a
carving in Cheddar Showcaves & Gorge in Somerset, England. The REAL story
behind it is that a man ("John," 33, Bournemouth UK) went to Saudi
Arabia on a business trip. He met a man who said he had seen a flash of light in
a dark cave and snapped a picture, and this is the picture that came out. John
obtained a copy of the picture (the locals said it was a djinn, or evil spirit)
and brought it back to England in search of a buyer. It turns out that the
"djinn" is part of Cheddar Showcaves, a tourist attraction which
contains an attraction called "Crystal Quest." Crystal Quest is a dark
cave full of Tolkeinesque carvings, intermittently lit by strobe. Cheddar Gorge
officials confirmed this and noted that many people had taken pictures of
strange things in the cave, after seeing a flash of light and pointing their
camera at it. You can still see this statue there. This picture was debunked in
Fortean Times "Strange Days #1," 1996, pp.27-28, from which the above
information is taken.
