This happened years ago when my two youngest boys were young, I want to say about the late 80's to early 90's. I used to have my flower garden in the front of my house looking kind of western. The old wagon wheels and cow skulls and stuff like that.

Well one day my boys had been out playing. We live really close to the cemetery. They, like any other boys, would like to go out and see what they could find. They came home that day so excited. They had found a skull for my garden. They came busting in the door, yelling and couldn't wait to show me what they had found for my garden. Well my eyes about popped out of my head and my mouth dropped open. They had brought home a human skull.

They sure didn't understand why I would not put it in my garden. The boys didn't know the difference, I guess. They thought old bones were old bones. Now here I sit with this human skull in my hands, not knowing what to do. I didn't feel right tossing it in the trash and I sure didn't want it out front in my garden. People walking by would have been in shock.

I finely ended up calling the police station and told them what my boys had brought home. Boy, if you want police at your house fast, call them and tell them your boys have just brought home a human skull. They came flying to my house. Then they took the head from me and told me we did the right thing by calling them. They also took my boys with them, so they could show them where they found it. I also run a police radio in my home, so I know that the coroner was called in right away. The skull was taken to Madison to be tested.

The last I heard, was it was very old and an adult. The city had been doing some digging near the end of the cemetery where the poor people were buried in unmarked graves. They didn't know that they had dug up any people. They said the rain could of also washed the dirt away from some of the graves. I have to say, that is a day I will never forget! I'm sure glad I didn't know anything about ghost back then. I have no idea what they ever did with the found skull. I sure hope they put it back where it belongs.
