With a human skull in the garden?

[Slippersandacuppa]

Because I've never been in this situation before.

We've been tidying up the garden and have piles of rubble all over the place. One of our rickety old fences borders a graveyard (very old belonging to ancient church) and I'm assuming the skull sort of drifted under our fence and has been near the top of the soil for a while. I hope.

I've googled but can't seem to find much info. I'll be contacting the parish council on Monday but wondered if it warrants a call to 101 (or whatever it is) to register it just in case it's not a graveyard wanderer

Anyone had a similar experience?!

UNBOARD THE CELLAR! We're all behind you. Metaphorically

Hoping OP has disappeared to the cellar to unboard the tunnel and take photos/videos of what she finds.

Chanting: Do it, do it, do it!!

Ok, the tunnel has to be unboarded.

Unboard the tunnel Skull

It'll be fine!

I'm really gutted now that I live in a modern house with no graveyards/cellars/mysterious places nearby :( No exciting discoveries for me.

You horrible lot. You'd send me down there without backup??

Natsku I used to live in a modern house with no graveyards or excitement and I'm beginning to miss it.

I've taken a photo

Ooo could you get torch and pear over the top of it? Looks like there's a gap.

Get a sledgehammer, your insured right?

I'll swap houses with you then, I'll unbrick that cellar! (Just a big enough hole for me to crawl through so I don't make the house tumble down)
In exchange you'll get a modern house with excellent insulation and its own sauna You'll have to put up with random children ringing your doorbell every half an hour though asking if your kids are home to play with.

So you'd have no house - but we'd know what was there. That's clearly more important.

Considers plan to buy a house with a cellar and block part of it off for no reason just to stump future MNers

You only need to take out one block so you can fit a camera through. It'll be fine.

I once dangled my digital camera through a hole in the roof of the underground bunker in my garden to see what it was. (Metal air raid shelter with bunk bed frames in it apparently)

FFS. The bed frames were metal, not the bunker. That's chiselled out of solid chalk and brick lined)

I assume you then opened up the entrance to the air raid shelter and turned it into a mini rave room SoupDragon because if you didn't....

Could you not send over the gap, a small child attached to a rope?

Do get them to put on a cycle helmet first. Because safety is important

Absolutely no way I wouldn't have investigated what was behind that wall by now. You owe it to us to get a torch and camera in there asap!

Well, I did dig up the brick built steps leading down into unit, yes. Then I put my back out and couldn't clear out the rubble. Now I think it has bastarding foxes living in it and I'm too scared to go down there :o

Into it

Fucking autocorrect.

I really must mow the lawn...

That is very cool Soup Is that what's left of the small child you sent down to investigate?

I will endeavour to take a photo for you all. Coz I'm nice like that.

I think it must be. At least there is a child I haven't seen for a good few years now I think about it...

Not realy, I'm not that shit a parent. DS2 keeps saying he is going to clear it out "this summer". This year I may force him to do it. I want to build a log cabin over the top so it has a cellar :o when the children were small, I planned to build pirates ship decking over it with a trap door leading into the dungeon. It never happened andnow they are all too old.

In my defence, that is the far far end of the lawn that I rarely get to before I'm bored with mowing. One year the grass was taller than the cat, and he's not a small cat. I would have taken a long range photo but then everyone would see that the sheer drop down to the underworld has a slide over the top and that I am a shit, lax parent (no SmallDragons ever fell off it!).

I could perhaps send an intrepid teen into the Underworld at the weekend. It was quit small and unremarkable down there when I looked several years ago.

I'll pay your teen handsomely if he/she comes to check out what lurks within.

Look how I found DD after I'd read your last comment set of instructions. She's only four so I'm assuming she doesn't have her own MN account.

Oops

How does she know obviously

He accepts payment in cold hard cash or copious amounts of pizza :o he's usually quite amenable to the strange things I ask him to do...

Nice to see you have provided your child with adequate protection :) or at least it makes it looks like you've had a go - depending what's there and what happens, it might be woefully inadequate.
