Weird stone statues in Aldias Keep?!

[TATW]

On the left side in the great hall with the ogres in aldias keep before the locked door, i found yesterday a stone figure. It had a pose like it would run away from the door.

The weird thing about it was, that the statue wasn't therethe last time i visited this place.

Because of unknown reasons i decided to destroy the statue. Maybe it was just my mind, but i had the feeling that the ambient sounds changed into a more scary style.

While i was looking for the second bonfire today in the keep, i approached again this weird place, but this time, i found three of these stone statues standing there.

So i used google to get an explanation.
The only thing i found was a reddit post from a user, who had the same experience like me:
https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkSouls2/comments/26luec/stone_statues_in_aldias_keep/

As you can see, most of the comments say, that these statues are just other players who got petrified there.

But the thing is, that my encounter was on excatly the same place, as well as that number increased by the same amount like in his game, which makes their explanation relatively unlikely.


Can anyone tell me whats going there?
