Did anyone see the 'moving' St. Andrew figure, which is located on South Street above the town hall? There was a crowd gathered around 14:45 looking up at it because apparently the arms on it had moved.

I asked a couple of people standing around and they were waiting on it to 'move again'.

Was this a wind-up stunt for TV or did it really move?

Fine, mock it if you will, but the very fact that so many people were staring at this thing right through the day freaked me out!

Frankly this is just fucking weird. I SWEAR i saw the arms on that thing change position--they didn't actually move but they were up at first then I looked back and they were down. I am so fucking freaked out this morning, it puts a shiver down my spine just thinking about it.I never even post on the sinner normally but I thought someone might know what the fuck is going on here.

I was coming out of WH Smith heading to Buchanan for a 10am lecture, past Pizza Express. Must've been at least 15-20 people standing looking at it. One of them was a friend of mine who said she'd heard someone had seen it actually move yesterday and had freaked out. No way is this a TV wind up, it's been going on for 2 days now and I believe my friend. I don't even know how you would motorize a thing like that if you were going to fake it.

jesus christ, so much for going back to bed after my lecture. I am staying the fuck away from South Street for the rest of this week.

I saw his arms move down and back at like half 10 this morning... it was really freaky. I totally didnt believe it when we stopped to see what was going on and then it actually just moved, apparently its moved a few times

Someone was out earlier on with a big professional camcorder.

apparently it moved again at 3pm today!

I think it's something that have to be seen to be believed

by **Dave** on Tue Mar 14, 2006 4:03 pm

It was insane! I didn't believe it but on my way down south street today there was a group of people staring at the symbol and suddenly its arms just moved, fast but I definately saw it along with about 30 bystanders, someone should film it!

by **Garnet** on Tue Mar 14, 2006 4:53 pm

There was someone filming, apparently they are from some tv documentary on haunted places - well that's what i got told, and I did see people standing outside today at about 2.30pm. The star did seem to move. What's the story behind that star?

Please, for the love of God, will somebody call these people:

It would make my week.

The 'star' is in fact a figure of St Andrew on the cross.

He is said to have suffered crucifixion at Patras (Patrae) in Achaea, on a cross of the form called Crux decussata (X-shaped cross) and commonly known as "St Andrew's cross".

[img]http://www.fwepiscopal.org/st.andrew.breckenridge/images/SaintAndrew2.jpeg[/img]

According to tradition his relics were removed from Patras to Constantinople, and thence to St Andrews, in the hope that they would never be found if they were hidden in the most God-awful, windy, rainy little place in Europe. This is how the town got its name.

About the middle of the 10th century, Andrew became the patron saint of Scotland. There are several legends which state that the relics of Andrew were brought under supernatural guidance from Constantinople to the place where the modern St Andrews stands.

So as you can see, there was some freaky supernatural shit going down right from the start, if you believe the little story.

Besides, it wouldn't be the first thing in St Andrews to be claimed to be haunted.

Bloody Hell. Could not believe my eyes.

by **groovy** on Tue Mar 14, 2006 6:47 pm

This is a hoax.

Due to the fact that only unregistered users have claimed to have seen any sort of movement or crowd.

Anyone care to provide evidence? proof that this happened?

Surely somebody must have a picture of the crowd gathered if not the statue 'moving'
