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. Clasped hands
Compared to some other gravestone markings out there, the clasped hands symbol isn’t particularly rare. But it can still be interpreted in a few different ways. It may be a simple goodbye to the deceased, or a message of solidarity beyond death. And, of course, it could well be a touching tribute to the love between a couple.
2. The conman
Balisok was a professional wrestler who was suspected of fraud. In an attempt to run from the law, he faked his own death and took on a new identity. Over a decade later, a man named Ricky A. Wetta was arrested for attempted murder and upon a fingerprint check, it was determined that he was indeed Jerry Balisok!
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.
