A man has found a terrifying figure of the ‘Grim Reaper’ made of ice outside his home – and it’s giving Facebook users ‘nightmares’.
Ben Tucci, 67, previously made headlines two years ago after the creepy ice formation first appeared outside his house on Lake Erie in Dunnville, Ontario, Canada.
The figure was formed, he believes, by water from the lake’s waves falling over the lamp post outside his home, and freezing to create the haunting shapes.
The infamous ice shape has returned once again with this month’s frost – and it’s as creepy as ever.
“The image on the lamppost [this year] has more of a ghostly appearance than [the original] Grim Reaper,” Ben told What’sTheJam.com.

“I’m thinking the nickname for it might be ‘The Return of the Grim Reaper’ or ‘Bride of the Grim Reaper’.
“I was really excited to see a return of images again this winter.
“They come to visit in one form or other, every winter.”
Ben shared pictures of the latest haunting figure on Facebook, where viewers were stunned to see it’s return – comparing it to both the dementors and Voldemort in the Harry Potter series.
One person commented: “I would have ‘Noped’ right out of there!!”
“Man, that thing puts the eerie in Lake Erie,” another user quipped.
Someone else said: “Tooooo spooky! Yikes!”
“Wow. These are amazing & truly weird,” said another viewer.
Another person commented: “Well that’ll give me nightmares.”
“That is absolutely horrifying! Thank you for the nightmare fuel,” another user agreed.
Someone else guessed: “Old ship captain lost at sea.”
“I would move far, far away from that lamppost!” said another viewer.
After spotting it for the first time back in 2022, Ben said: “My initial reaction was one of awe.
“I couldn’t believe my eyes.
“On the first formation I thought this is Jack Frost, Old Man Winter, Father Christmas, or perhaps even the Grim Reaper.
“My immediate reaction of the “dejected” looking figure was of an eerie looking woman or a sea hag of sorts, leaving the property almost as if to be walking away from Jack Frost.”
