DIA’s Greg the Gargoyle

Did you know there’s a talking gargoyle in the Denver International Airport (DIA)? It mysteriously appeared earlier this year and was soon making news.

The gargoyle’s name is Greg. Kind of a tame name for a grotesque statue in my opinion but okay. Greg the Gargoyle it is.

And his appearance wasn’t as mysterious as I’m trying to lead you to believe. He was there to help celebrate the airport’s 24th anniversary –and to help poke fun at all the conspiracy theories about the airport. (Although according to USA Today, one traveler asked Greg how old he is and Greg claimed to be 243.)

It’s How Old?

Pardon me while I get sidetracked here for a minute.

24 years?

I grew up in Denver. I’d since moved away by the time the new airport was under construction, but my family and my husband’s family still lived there. Up until my mom died 10 years ago, we’d head back at least once a year if not more.

I can’t believe DIA is already 24! I still think of it as the “new” airport. Not so new anymore…

The Den Files

I’ve never quite understood all the Illuminati conspiracy theories involving DIA, but I love how the airport is embracing them. Right there out in the open for everyone to see.

Check out these signs I spotted in the Great Hall where they’re doing some construction:

Are there other tunnels besides the ones for the trains between terminals?

My favorite pic because I didn’t realize when I snapped it that the guy was sitting just right. I was just trying to get a photo of Blucifer in the poster since I can’t ever get him when we’re at the airport.

Where’s Greg?

I thought the gargoyle was somewhere in main terminal before passengers go through security. He had been there based on news reports I’d seen when he was first introduced. I could tell by the photos.

I tried to find out online, but other than “there’s a talking Gargoyle in DIA,” I couldn’t find anything about exactly where to find him.

We found ourselves in Denver in July for my husband’s grandma’s funeral. He knew I really wanted to find this talking gargoyle –which he was now curious about himself. So he stopped and asked at an information booth.

In the Baggage Claim East area across from carousel 8 and to the right of door 515.

Note: Greg moves. Not just in the animated sense, but apparently they move him around –“they” being airport staff. Allegedly. Or maybe it’s another conspiracy of some kind?

What Does He Say?

I’d heard he was sassy so I was hoping for smart aleck remarks and jokes about the conspiracy theories, but we found it hard to get him to work.

Either that or he’d had a hard day and didn’t much feel like talking anymore. Or maybe he was camera shy. I don’t know. Maybe we needed to talk to him and ask questions instead of waving our hands in front of his podium.

Not sure. But all he said for us was, “Sir, sir, sir. Do you need help with your bags? Too bad. I’m stuck here!”

Here’s video of him in action –the little of it I was able to capture.
