Vandals chopped the heads off dozens of statues at a cemetery in Cherry Hill, New Jersey — spooking visitors on Easter Sunday, according to a report.
“We saw one headless. And then we really look and there was like a sea of defaced grave sites — religious statues of Jesus and Mary,” graveyard-goer, Carmen Paternoste, told ABC 6.
A total of 29 statues — including sweet-faced baby angels and saints — were beheaded at Calvary Catholic Cemetery, the local station reported.
Their noggins were left scattered around the boneyard, in the grass and on the tops of gravestones.
In January, cops investigated the bizarre vandalism but the people who run the graveyard didn’t go public with the crime.
Visitors, some of whom left Easter baskets on the graves of loved ones Sunday, discovered the eerie sight after the weather got warmer.
The cemetery plans to repair the statues, which serve as grave markers, and families of the dead will be forced to foot the bill, the station reported.
“That’s awful. It’s such a desecration,” Paternoste fumed.
No arrests have been made.
