A stone Buddha with a neck that grows
January 4th, 2009 by James
A video about how the neck of a stone Buddha mysteriously lengthened:
The odd incident involved the Stone Image of Buddha named Manji in the Nagano prefecture town of Shimosuwa. Over a period of several years, the Buddha’s neck gradually began to rise out of its stone body.
The Buddha who had practically no neck 5 years ago now had a 5-centimeter neck sprouting out of the rock. A team was brought in to investigate, and after using a crane to remove the head from its base, they found that the head had been forced up by muck and rainwater that accumulated in the statue’s neck hole. After some cleaning, it was returned to its original state.

Im guessing theres like a hive of cockroaches or rats inside there
Loved the ‘kowai!’ from the studio audience. ^^ Especially with the reason being so normal and scientific that most people can think of it for themselves.
