Cryptic Tombstone 'Messages' That Hint At Grim Backstories
A few select phrases can create a horror story that sends shivers down the spines of even the bravest souls. Place these words on a gravestone, and the result is an absolute creep-fest! The chilling messages on these tombstones reveal dark and bizarre mysteries that have become the stuff of legends. Are you brave enough to handle these eerie epitaphs?
1. Baby monster
Sadly, society has not always been accepting of people who are perceived as "different." While there is a chance that "Monster" may have been a family name, it's more likely that this baby was given this nickname due to a severe deformity. What's really disturbing is the fact that even after five months, these parents never named their child.
2. The performer
Located in Old Trapper's Lodge in California, this gravestone tells the tragic tale of a sideshow performer known as Ironfoot Eva. While it is unknown whether the story about her getting gunned down on her wedding day is authentic or not, the monument still does a great job at pulling travelers' heartstrings and serving as an unforgettable piece of art.
3. The Beast
While this woman's obituary said that she died of natural causes, her epitaph has raised suspicions, especially because her husband apparently had a criminal past. Because Gray's area of Salt Lake City was home to many people who practiced the occult, there is a possibility that they had something to do with her death and were the cause of this chilling reference to the "Beast."
4. An eternal memory
This haunting tomb can be found in the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. Belgian sculptor Adolphe Wansart created this sculpture in honor of French actor and musician Fernand Arbelot. It is believed that the head that is being held up represents Arbelot's wife, as the performer stated that he wished to gaze upon her face for all of eternity.
