Scary?

A statue of the pagan deity Cernnunos - who is worshipped in witchcraft - is causing disquiet at Hillsborough Forest Park.
Cernunnos was an ancient Celtic god who represented nature, flora and fauna, and fertility. He's seen as the protector of forests and leader of the hunt, representing life, animals, wealth, and sometimes the Underworld.
It is thought that because of a decision made by the Council of Toledo about the 6th century meant that the figure of a creature like Cernnunos would be how the devil was to be depicted – with the horns and cloven feet. So he became a picture of the devil.
The statue is part of a group of 10 set up as a sculpture trail in the park.
Some people find him to be a little scarey
What about you?
