A mysterious effigy has appeared in Birks

Maybe he couldn’t face the walk up Cardiac


A human effigy has appeared in Birks Grange Village.

The mannequin was hanging from a second floor window that belonged to the town house N3 in the village.

Hanging from the night before

The bizarre display materialised at some point during the night and was discovered the morning of November 6th.

Politics and International Relations fresher Diletta Alparone, who spotted the effigy said: “I saw it when I woke up, they must have done it in the night, I was too scared to ask the reason.

“It was very bizarre.”

The androgynous figure was wearing a charming t-shirt and jean combo and hanging roughly 5 metres off the ground, with its feet poking into the window below.

It is unknown whether the person who made the effigy was making a statement innocent or maybe a more politically loaded sentiment – perhaps the poor bastard just couldn’t face the walk up Cardiac Hill.
