To think there is a grave in my garden?

[IsItATomb]

NC for this as the pics are outing.

Moved in to my house in April and it has what I thought is a really ugly raised bed in the garden. Now the summer has arrived I've realised it gets no sunshine on it at all so isn't a raised bed after all.

DD and I were pottering our there this afternoon and we came across this plaque on the raised bed.

WTF.

Is it a coincidence or is it a grave?!

Also placemarking hides ghoulishly

At cemeteries you have to pay for the plaque and so on to be there so perhaps they did what some people do and put it in the their garden

Oh gosh I'd be out there digging until I knew! I can't believe it's legal to bury someone in your garden!

@IsItATomb if you're wanting previous pics of the house, try looking on Zoopla. If it's been up for sale and listed on Zoopla previously you can view old listings. Long shot though, not sure if it's something an estate agent would photograph!

The last thing I'd do is dig! Arghhhhhhh

Nope nope.

You shouldn’t be allowed to bury dead people in your garden. That should not be a thing.

I've just remembered that just after we got the keys DD said that there is a man who lives in our house called Harold and he has a dog.

I'll be asking the neighbours if they know anything.

The plot thickens...

I've looked on Zoopla. The only pics that are in there are the ones from when I brought it. It's not listed as being for sale before I brought it.

It's very possible that she was the only owner before me, I believe the house was built in the 80s

Now that’s a good update OP

When will excavation be starting?

Perhaps a little memorial for a loved pet, cat or dog etc. I referred to my pets as my boys.

I told you. I know films that have ghost men and ghost dogs in too. THICKENING.

If the plot is thickening, doesn't that mean something is on his way up and out?

Perhaps it’s so big because there’s more than one dead body?

I'll mention to DD about this Harold and see what she says.

She doesn't know what the plaque says I didn't explain what it is to her because she's only 3 and is asking a lot about death lately (her goldfish has recently departed)

Move house. Tomorrow. Not worth the risk

I'd be outside digging if that was my garden. I need to know the outcome of this I'm so intrigued

@MitziK I think you're on to something. OP needs garlic, silver gussets and Holy water...

I'm going to make a start tomorrow when DD is at nursery.

I'd have started digging already.

WTF why did bullets get changed to gussets? What did I type to get that?!

Snap OP. Good work.

Unashamedly place marking ❤️

I also think it's incredibly sad

What happened with the other thread with the woman who found a skull in her garden?

I did know you could bury people at home but thought you had to agree to live there for a certain amount of time? Like you couldn’t bury your DH in a six month tenancy house!

We dug up a large dogs skeleton in our garden
