    when I was working on a house in oldham putting in new sewer pipes, in the garden for a down stairs loo we found body parts loads of hands arms legs feet
    when we went under the floor we found hundreds more and was told that the loft was full of them
    the previous house owner was told not to put them out with the household rubbish as it was causing problem at the local land fill site
    so he found other ways to get rid of them

    also found when digging a pond in my dads back garden a telephone from the 40's cooker, stone sink,
    a shoe , railings , old 4 inch cast iron water main pipe . sledge hammer end, old glass bottles with a pointed bottom and marble in the top ?, old tire

    also found lots of strange things when I worked on the M40&M60 motorways
    the m60 near denton went through an old land fill site that was in use from 1800's to 1940
    it was used as a MOD test firing range through the war we found buried house hand granades shells unused bullets .the first thing that was found was a live hand granade which the foreman took in his landrover on the front seat to local police station . there was no one on the front counter,so he just left it on the counter and walked out !! then he came into the cabin at lunch time holding a live shell about 24inch long.then said he was going to polish it and take it home and put it next to the fire !!! we had to wait hours for bomb disposal to remove it,so we could have lunch

    the house in oldham he made prosthetic limbs used the old ones as templates for the new ones he made

      Can't believe no ones mentioned that Jacob lived in WALL. Right on the boarder of Stormhold.
