Here are 9 of the creepiest backyard discoveries.
These findings will make you take a second look at your backyard!
Number 9: A 16th Century Cement berry When you think of creepy discoveries, one
automatically thinks of a lords.
Finding the regains of a that person is creepy enough, since it's provoked several superstitious
beliefs across the world.
There are even movies with that topic as their main conflict.
That is because the that are not to be disturbed.
Still, it is very unlikely to come across a lords in the privacy of your own back yard...or,
is it?
If coming across one lords is bad enough, imagine 13 copses!
When a local man from New Orleans, Louisiana decided to dig in his backyard for a swimming
pool, he ended up discovering what appeared to be at the moment historic cement berry
that dates back to the 1700s.The workers unearthed 13 caskets with human regains.
However, it was not the first time bodies have been discovered underground in that particular
area – in 1984, 36 copses were found when an apartment complex was being built.
Number 8: A Fall loud Shelter The human race has faced near annihilation
more than once, mostly by our own mistakes.
The past century was full of events that could’ve changed the course of history in the blink
of an eye.
Because of that, many people around the world have developed different inventions and strategies
to cope with a possible apocalypse, and sometimes, those inventions end up lost in time.
A family from Neenah, Wisconsin always had the feeling that there was a large metal object
hidden in the ground in their backyard, however they never dared to dig it out.
One day, they decided to do some digging and uncovered a large metal hatch.
Curiosity stroke, and as they opened it to reveal its content, a series of Cold wore-era
artifacts were found.
A ladder led down into a bunker, which enclosed items from the past including clothing, medical
supplies, tools, flashlights, batteries – it was a fall loud shelter that provided a safe
place for any catastrophic surreal event during the past century.
Whoever built that shelter feared that at any moment the fate of humanity could be determined
by the push of a button.
Still, who knows how many secret lairs still lay beneath our very feet?
Back then, people really believed the end of the world could happen at any minute.
But that’s in the past, right?
Number 7: The Cheetah Wild animals are to be expected in your house
every now and then, and those encounters are mostly limited to the endemic species of the
area.
In other words, if you're in a certain area, you would only expect animals from that specific
habitat to cross your path.
However, there have been a few cases of animals who were probably lost and quite far away
from home.
While Julie-Ann Taylor of Hamerton, Cambridgeshire, was getting some housework done, she was interrupted
by her nine-year-old son.
He claimed, hysterically, that there was a Cheetah in their backyard.
The woman, skeptical, dismissed the boy’s claims.
It wasn't until he looked out of the kitchen window while washing the dishes that she realized
her young boy was not fooling around.
A 6-foot savannah predator who had escaped from a local sanctuary was looking for shelter
in their own backyard.
The keepers soon arrived and took care of the giant feline.
With the ability to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in three seconds, the chances of
meeting a Cheetah in your backyard and living to tell the tale are quite low.
The odds of encountering a savannah predator in the UK is, of course, minimal.
However, if your kid gives you a heads up, make sure to listen to him or her, for it
may be the last thing you'll ever hear.
Number 6: The Whale lords No one expects to find a lords in their backyard.
Still, when was the last time you stopped to have a good look at a rock?
While it may seem foolish, you might be surprised of the treasures one can find by taking a
closer look.
Gary Johnson, a local man from California noticed a large rock sticking out of the ground
near his backyard back in 1978.
Considering the “phone like texture” the rock appeared to have, Johnson called in the
experts to give it a look.
He was told it had no value.
The stone remained untouched for another 35 years until February 2014.
While Johnson was watching the news, a huge fossil of a 12-million-year-old sperm whale
was found not far from where he found the “stone”.
This time, Johnson found a paleontologist at the Natural History Museum to help him
evaluate the “stone”.
This time, luck was in his favor.
The paleontologist estimated the “stone” to be the 14-16 million years old fossil of
a very rare whale.
Many people are not as fortunate as Gary Johnson, and the copses that they uncover are not from
an ancient creature.
So, next time you stumble across a giant rock, take a closer look, and you might be surprised.
Hopefully you get as lucky as Gary Johnson and, if you where to find any phones, they
are not from another person.
It might be creepy, but stumbling into a lords on your backyard might not be as bad luck
as we thought it is.
Number 5: $175,000 of Marie Luana People chose weird places to stash their drops.
Most of the times, it is quite easy to predict.
However, there are a few very clever fellas who, in order to protect their property, find
the most unusual places to use as a safe box.
In 2012, a Los Angeles local ordered a few solar panels to be installed in his home.
As he was searching his backyard for power outlets, he looked under his hot tub.
To his surprise, he found several small packages of what appeared to be a green herb.
Confused and afraid, he called the police.
The LAPD confirmed that the content of the packages was indeed Marie Luana, and the total
amount that it was worth summed up to $175,000 USD.
Creeped out and worried about the origin of the Marie Luana and that its owners might
want it back, he left a note on his front door saying “We found it, and called the
police.
They confiscated it and are now watching the place.
Sorry”.
For that amount of money, whoever hid the Marie Luana there should have expected a jacuzzi
failure sooner or later.
Have you checked your backyard lately?
When you least expect it, you could get involved in a drop related lime.
Number 4: A Classic Ferrari When people steal things, the place where
they hide whatever they stole must be strategically thought through.
However, either the time or the pressure factor may push people to take unusual measures to
secure their pickings.
Throughout the ages, a very common place to hide precious belongings has been in holes
in the ground.
However, those places are usually used for small objects, such as jewelry and cash.
That was not the case for two kids in Los Angeles, who, while digging for fun at their
backyard, came across Dino 246 GTS Ferrari.
Apparently, the car had been stolen and buried in some sort of an insurance scam.
Although none of the neighbors noticed the burying at the time, apparently the thieves,
whose job was to destroy the car, fell so in love with it that they’d rather bury
it, for later retrieval.
The thieves never came back, and the car was lost under the thick layers of dirt.
Who knows, you might be sitting on top some solid evidence for a fraud case right now.
Number 3: The Actress On average, 90,000 people are missing at any
given time in the United States.
Whether it’s an accident, or by their own will, a large amount of missing people suffers
from a mental disorder.
And celebrities are no exception.
But the fact that it is common, does not mean it ceases to be very, very creepy.
Back in 1996, Canadian actress Margot Kidder had been going through a hard period of her
life.
After being reported missing for three days, she was found at a family’s backyard in
Glendale, California.
Apparently, Kidder was found frightened and paranoid.
Her dirty clothes and missing teeth suggested that she had developed a mental problem.
The idea of finding an unstable person panicking in your backyard is chilling.
She was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and placed under treatment where eventually she
made a full recovery.
It’s creepy enough to think that a stranger is on your backyard, but when it’s Superman’s
girlfriend, you might want to call the police right away.
You might not want to make her boyfriend angry.
Number 2: The Mysterious Gem HP Lovecraft wrote a story about a stage object
that came crashing down from space and into the ground of a small town in Arkham, Massachusetts.
That story doesn’t propose that good things are to happen when an alien object comes rocketing
into your home.
Fortunately, that is only a story.
Or, at least, that is what we thought.
While looking for worms to take on an upcoming fishing trip, two sisters from a town in Canada
stumbled upon a curious, mysterious object.
In the ground, they found something with very peculiar characteristics: transparent and
shiny, with a bluish tint.
At first, they thought that it was some sort of precious stone, or even part of a meteorite.
However, professor Phil McCausland, who is an expert in earth sciences, disagreed, claiming
that the visible layer of the object should have been much darker if it really was part
of a meteorite, due to the friction it produces while entering the Earth’s atmosphere.
Later on, a gem expert, Gary Winkler, was summoned to the small town in Canada and was
asked to analyze the object.
He concluded firmly that it was definitely not a gem of any known kind, at least here
on Earth.
He also proposed that the object was not of natural origins, and that a person might have
deliberately buried it.
No matter the origin of the mysterious object, the sisters were going to keep it.
Hopefully they do not have the same fate as Gardner’s wife.
Number 1: The Massive Alligator Florida is no stranger to creatures found
in backyards.
It is common to find different kinds of animals lurking around the vicinity, which makes the
locals be extra aware of their surroundings.
For many of them, bumping into an animal is quite normal.
However, an alligator taking a dip in the family’s swimming pool is a whole other
story.
Ready to celebrate Memorial Day, the family proceeded to the backyard for some swimming
pool fun.
Fortunately, they took a second look into the pool before jumping in, only to find a
massive lizard lurking at the bottom.
The 8-foot reptile was swimming in circles, as if waiting the right moment to attrackt.
The family called the Sheriff´s Office and after struggling against the massive beast,
they successfully transported the creature to a nearby farm.
Alligators can grow up to 14 feet in length, and are known for eating humans alive.
After performing the so-called “Beth Roll”, a hunting maneuver used by the alligators
to either escape from predators or break their prey’s phones, it is very unlikely that
you will just walk away from that encounter.
So, considering the odds, make sure to check the bottom of the pool next time you go visit
any friends or family at the Orange State.
