The Gargoyle was the enigmatic leader of the Castle, a cult that operated out of Northwest Arkansas for most of the 1990s. The Gargoyle's origin is subject to speculation, as very little can be confrmed about them. The Gargoyle was interviewed on tape in the late 90s and that person appears shockingly young should we assume they are the same Gargoyle who was initiating their first followers in the late 60s. I have decided to share my theores as to who, or what The Gargoyle really was
They were active long before settling in the foothills of the Ozarks. The Castle managed to keep a low profile for an indeterminate amount of time. Testimonies allude to the first members joining sometime in the late 60s. They moved all across North America for the next 20 years, members joining from all walks of life, slowly, but steadily. There is an initiation process for joingng the Castle proper. It involved ingesting a liquid known as the "Tonic" that was allegedly a family reipe of the Gargoyle's. The initiate would fast for three days, drnking nothing but Tonic. At the end of the 3rd day they would take a small black supplement known as a "seed". A former peer believes that the tonic was merely alcohol, and the seed some type of hallucinogen, and at one point in my life I wouldv'e been very inclined to agree. After all, there is evidence that the Castle were brewing their own backwoods gin, and the only former member ever documented could never properly recall his time spent within the Castle. Wouldn't it then make sense that members of this cult, like so many, used the influence of drugs and alcohol to not only keep members close and dependent, but contrive some esoteric spirituality? Sure. It would make some sense. But it would fail to account for very insidious loose ends that inherently defy such an explanation. archival footage
