With a human skull in the garden?

640 replies

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 Confused

Anyone had a similar experience?!

Never mind Ghost Hunters, get in the Winchester boys! If there's nothing spooky going on I'll happily keep Dean, er, "entertained" Wink

Who are the Winchester boys?

LMGTFY · 12/05/2016 13:22

Don't you have a selfie stick you could use to poke your camera round in that gap?

educatingarti · 12/05/2016 13:31

Wakeup I'm happy to take over responsibility for the brushy things (whispers - they are usually just ordinary paint brushes y'know).

Can I come to this party dig? I can bring toothpicks, fag filters and plasticine, I can rebuild the heads. Put a face to a name!

aSkullByAnyOtherName · 12/05/2016 14:48

Lud Of course - I never even thought about rebuilding! YS will appreciate that.

Still no news from the coppers. I'm pretty sure they've got nothing more pressing to attend to so I'm wondering why it's taking them so long...

It's sunny here in the Shire. In the movies, nothing really bad ever happens without a thunderstorm so I've been making preparations. I asked DD if she'd like to come on an adventure with me and she said she'd love to but did I remember that she's allergic to wind and cold aminals? 😳 Not sure how much help she's going to be either.

If you don't hear back from me within a day or two, please call the prime minister and ask him to send his SWAT team to YS's last resting place.

And no, I don't own a selfie stick

But you might own a smartphone with a videocamera with a light?

You need to order one of those drones from amazon. I'd send my DH over (he'd love that) but unfortunately we're a rather long way from the shire these days.

Thank you - I had to google to find out Supernatural is a fantasy TV series.

I think I'm beer on 19th century culture than 21st century...

EBearhug · 12/05/2016 15:37

beer -> better

SilverBirchWithout · 12/05/2016 15:45

OP, glad to see you have the first aid box sorted already.

Nutella and Mr Bump kit will mean you are prepared for the majority of situations.

SoupDragon · 12/05/2016 15:48

beer -> better

Is that a correction or a statement of fact?

Funko · 12/05/2016 16:40

Beer is indeed better... Than most things 😂🍺

OP... ?

aSkullByAnyOtherName · 12/05/2016 19:15

Apologies - got distracted making a hanging-in-the-garden-for-out-dig den out of a curtain. I am not naturally crafty so required a bit of concentration.

The area behind the bricks (see top photo) appears to be a thick wall of rubble. I obviously haven't spent much time in there because I found this (see middle photo) bricked up doorway with lots of hooks (see bottom photo) above it.

Any cellar experts?

Sorry, it rearranged them.

You get the gist.

I used the Nutella as a reward instead of sustenance.

SoupDragon · 12/05/2016 19:18

Is the bricked up doorway on the church side?

Natsku · 12/05/2016 19:19

Ooo judging by the hooks that is clearly where they hung the dead bodies.

IfTheCapFitsWearIt · 12/05/2016 19:19

Oh well done scull!

They are ror storing meat.

How big is your cellar?! Are the hooks at the other side of the door or this side?

SoupDragon · 12/05/2016 19:19

Maybe the hooks explain YS's hole in the head.

IfTheCapFitsWearIt · 12/05/2016 19:21

Duh... Ignore me they are this sideBlush

Fivetoomany · 12/05/2016 19:24

Obviously you need to knock through the bricked up doorway. I think it's quite silly that you didn't realise that while you was down there. Off you trot op. I expect an update in an hour or so Wink

HookedOnHooking · 12/05/2016 19:58

Opooph hooks are a bit sinister.

Funko · 12/05/2016 20:09

I'm still drawn to the cartoon face in rock lol 😂
That is soooo cool though. If be dying to explore

Funko · 12/05/2016 20:12

And ... More helpfully. It was bricked up from other side. Bet you could knock that down with ease or with help from couple of burley chaps pushing from this end
