Revelations in Northumberland: The Covent Garden Statue

Extracted from the Northumberland Gazette (well, not really):

The Museum of Lindisfarne has today revealed a magical statue that has been imported from Covent Garden, London*. The statue, which has baffled local scientists magically changes its position when a coin is placed in a nearby bucket. Admissions to the museum must be booked through Farmer Giles.

(*a town down south).

UPDATE
After just two days of display in the Lindisfarne Museum, the Covent Garden Statue that magically changes its pose when a coin is placed in a nearby bucket has been removed after mythical safety concerns. The first alarming sign was that the statue breathed, blinked, and ate pasties, "almost as if it were really a human" said the museum curator. The area of the museum has been closed pending an urgent scientific investigation.

UPDATE 2
The Covent Garden Statue is now believed to be 'possessed with a spirit' by many and a number of locals have thrown the statue in the River Wansbeck. Locals are claiming to have heard the statue's ghostly presence to scream and shout for help as it sank.
