Skull found. |
The powerful storm knocked over many tress but underneath one historic oak tree a human skeleton was found.
Katie Carbo was the one who alerted the police after she spotted the skull in the roots of the fallen oak.
The skull was positioned upside down with its mouth open, still connected to the spine and rib cage. Investigators headed to the scene at the New Haven Green, a 16-acre park.
Some believe the skeleton is likely that of a victim of smallpox or yellow fever who may have been buried between 1799 and 1821.
New Haven Green park was once a cemetery that was moved to Green Street Cemetery,but it appears that only the headstones were moved and the bodies remained at the original relocation.
The now blown over Oak tree was planted in 1909 in honor of President Abraham Lincoln.
Another scary sight caused by hurricane Sandy took place in Maryland, when coffins were raised out of their graves. The force of the water caused the coffins to raise making for scary scene on Halloween.
