London Dungeon - with real skeletons

[CatInASuit]

It seems that one of the skeletons hanging in the London Dungeon has turned out to be more than a prop to scare people, but an actual skeleton.

It looks liks it has been hanging in one of the exhibitions for several years and no-one had noticed. They only had someone in to check whn they realised they needed certification to display bones and wanted their stock checked to make sure they were not real.

It is suspected another of the displays also features another real skeleton.

More on the discovery here.

I do like the fact they named it after Kate Moss though.

That sounds like the set-up for a horror movie that I would happily watch.

Or an episode of Supernatural you'd even more happily watch.

It may have been an episode of Supernatural that I've happily watched already.

It does sound familiar somehow, doesn't it. Maybe like the wax museum one?

It's similar to the story of Elmer McCurdy.

In December 1976, during filming at Queens Park (A.K.A. The Pike), of the television show The Six Million Dollar Man episode Carnival of Spies (#4.17) (1977) "Carnival of Spies"(1979), a crew member was moving what was thought to be a wax mannequin that was hanging from a gallows. When the mannequin's arm (some accounts say finger) broke off, it was discovered that it was in fact embalmed and mummified human remains.

Kind of makes one wonder exactly how many actual skeletons are out there being passed off as fakes...

Were any bodies discovered at the traveling carnival in "Everybody Loves a Clown"? It was the episode with the parent eating clown demon.
