This is absolutely absurd and preposterous: a statute whose “hands move and mutters prayers!
I can seen the hands move right before my friend was struck and killed by a train less but than 2 blocks away.They seemed to move in a downward motion as to signal warning.
sorry for your lost
when does this statue move?
I seen the statue that is on the hill in the quad blink and I kept looking back at it and it would look like it would move it’s eyes and blink
