On Wednesday, a contractor working on a family s home project made a discovery more fit for a horror movie than a construction gig.
Robbie Kearney, a 32-year-old builder working in Heytesbury, Wiltshire, South West England, was hired by homeowners Matthew and Amelia Jackson to dig a soakaway hole for their patio drainage.
While digging, Kearney stumbled across a few piles of bones that were eventually revealed not to be the leftovers of someone s KFC meal but instead human remains. I found a few bones, which I assumed were animal bones, and went down a bit further and found some more bones, Kearney told local news outlet the Wiltshire Times. Then I went a bit deeper and found a skull. That s when I realized they were human remains.
