Wow

So scary... 😂🕷️🎃🧛😂😂😂

[@fermintenava5911]

Calling Dippel the inspiration for Frankenstein is stretching it a little. Shelley visited the region before writing the story, but it's uncertain whether she got near enough to the castle to hear the legend at all.

Unless he faked it somehow, Andreas is one large dude! 😲

[@CanonCrestLP]

He didn't fake it. He is really that tall 😅

[@ninidemmi8149]

I saw him on Saturday, he is really that tall! Uuuunrreal!!

[@Mostrichkugel]

Die haben doch nicht alle Tassen im Schrank.

[@ArumWaharatri]

Not scary at all compared to southeast asian ghosts
