In this episode, Mason takes the reins and explores the eerie and controversial Blue Mustang, the 32-foot-tall, red-eyed, blue horse sculpture at Denver International Airport. Nicknamed Blucifer, this statue has sparked urban legends and conspiracy theories, especially after its creator, Luis Jiménez, tragically died when a piece of it fell on him. We dive into the history, artistic significance, and the myths surrounding this infamous landmark.
