Spooky incident
“Being Halloween makes this incident creepy and spooky, especially considering the other things we found in the house. There were thousands of things related to the occult: magazines, videos, crystals, amulets, all kinds of new-age and metaphysical stuff,” said Odice. The contractors had dumped the skulls, and the rest of the dead man’s paranormal and satanic-themed belongings at a Stamford recycling centre.
After noticing that the skulls appeared human, an attendant at the centre notified the police. Images of the skulls were sent to the state Medical Examiner’s Office, which later determined the skulls, one male and one female, to be human.
According to Stamford Police Lieutenant Diedrich Hohn, the department will know in two weeks the ages of the skulls and whether a criminal investigation is required. “It’s bizarre. If the skulls turn out to be 120 years old, obviously we don’t have a big crime here. But we have to make sure it is not a recent crime,” he said.
