Awhile back, I was called by the new owners of an old mansion on the bluffs of the Mississippi River to unravel the mysteries of the wiring in their home. I discovered a lot of creative wiring, but that's a whole seperate story.
The third day I was there, while uncovering the buried and paneled over original fuse center at the foot of the basement stairs, I became aware of a great caterwaller and rumpous up on the second floor.
I ran up the stairs to meet Mrs. Homeowner and daughter rushing down from the second. Seems that the son had finally prised open the one stuck drawer in the built in set of drawers in the secret room behind the moveable storage shelves in the second floor bath. The drawer was empty, but for a human skull. He had walked in on his mom and sister holding high the prize he had found. . .
They did not share his opinion and ran screaming to call the police.
The skull was without identifying marks. The police determined it used to be a thirty some female, and eventually returned it to the family. The son latched onto it an gave it its own wooden case.
