Paisley Abbey

In Scotland is a church named Paisley Abbey (Picture I). This medieval church or cathedral is known for demonic creatures, what are very rare and some of them have given Ridley Scott the idea of the alien, what lurks in the ventilation system of starship “Nostromo”. There is a couple of pictures from the internet, where is very strange creatures, and at the second picture ( Picture II) is a creature, what seems like the lizard with scuba diving equipment. I mean that the creature might have the tube of breathing system on the column.



What we can think about this creature. Somebody claims that this is a picture of the alien, who came from outer space, but if we think carefully, we can also infer that this might be the picture of ancient scuba diving system. When we are talking about modern scuba diving equipment, where is a ventilation system, it is invented by Jacques Cousteau during WW2, but there were used pressure bottles before the string ventilation have been connected to that system. Elder systems have used the tube, where the diver closed the flow of the air by using tongue and then pulled the dioxide from the nose. And in elder times were used the skin of Catfish or Shark as the diving suit. And even in ancient Greece were used the animal vesicles to increase the time of diving.

So this statue might be portraying some medieval scuba diver. Another statue (Picture III) portraying fearful human, who lurks in some kind of tube. I don’t know what to say about this creature, and I must use my imagination. In my darkest imaginations, I have thought that maybe something was put in that poor person, and this person waits that some creature comes out. But maybe it is only the creature of fearing person, who sleeps in the sleeping bag, outside this chapel. Sometimes when I took those pictures, I think about the horrifying genetic experiments and witchcraft, what might be done behind those walls. In that time the witchcraft was quite common with the priests and noblemen.

And maybe that creature is made to warn the people, who took the part of those actions, that they would ever say anything about those actions or rituals. Maybe the priests of this cathedral were cooked poison or made other prohibited things. In medieval time the priests were above the law. Also, the Christianity was not similar than today. People were burned on the pyre because they kept Holy Bible below hippie. But at the same time noblemen were outside the control, and they pursued witchcraft like poison cooking and foretelling. The last one was prohibited, because if some nobleman said, that some person would die, would that be the killing order for his mercenaries.
