I didn’t realize they drafted them that young back then.
One of my friends used to live in an apartment in town, in back of which was a short stint of woods. Wandering aimlessly one day, we found a ditch with a whole bunch of old muddy audio tapes. We took one and played it, and it sounded like some weird religious-cult gathering. My friend then moved away, and the tape was lost. Too bad.
I didn’t find it personally, but I was there when it was found. About 6 months ago, maintenance was changing the hot water heater in my apartment. When they pulled the old heater out, they found a porn tape behind it. The previous resident was a tiny Japanese girl, it’s hard to think she was into black anal…
Maybe it’s not too strange compared to some things others have found, but it’s the best I got.
When I moved into a new house, we found a box full of unused syringes hidden in a crawlspace above the basement’s ceiling.
Once I found a copy of Playgirl in the woods behind my house.
But my favorite find was when I got a $5 bill from an ATM, and it had an M&M-sized drop of fresh red blood balanced on it. It was definitely blood – a half-second before I thought, “Hepatitis!” I smeared it with my finger to make sure it was what I thought it was.

I found a dead man in a bush recently. Poor fellow up and drank himself to death.
Cleaning out the basement of a friend’s new house we found a box full of photographs of some guy’s head. All had been either cut out or recklessly torn from some other photo, so I suspect it was probably a love affair gone wrong. Judging from the hairstyle I’d say they date from the late 70’s-early 80’s.
I once found A prostetic leg complete with bright red jogging shoe on the side of the road. I can’t imagine how one misplaces something like that.
I once found a mummified mouse in the bottom of an ancient bottle of corn oil. The oil had hardened into a solid glass-like mass.
Add me to the cadaver dicoverers. Found a dead body in a river while walking through the woods with my kids. They were excited at being described as the proverbial “hikers” in the news reports.
Not exactly found, but wierd nonetheless. We were walking through the St. Louis zoo, and my niece got hit in the head with -
a fish!

- Two: one night when I was outside picking up the parking lot of the convenience store where I worked, I found a Dodge door/ignition key on the ground that fit both the doors and the ignition of the Dodge truck I owned, that was parked 20 feet away. I verified that I hadn’t lost any of my 3 keys.

- I was jogging through a local park one Sunday morning and found a student trumpet (missing the mouthpiece) in the middle of a softball field. - DougC
Hey! My husband and I found a baby in the middle of the street once. He was wearing just a diaper. I picked him up, and a little kid around 4 years old was standing there staring at me. I asked him if he’d ever seen the baby before, and he said “yup.” And I asked him if he knew who the baby was, and he said “yup.” And I asked him if he knew where the baby lived, and he said “yup.” And I asked him if he would show me where the baby lived, and he said “yup.” So he brings me up to a house, and it turns out it was his own little brother! The mom was frantic and very thankful for his safe return.
**When I was twelve I found a naked man.
My dad, brother and I were just wandering around on a beach in Rhode Island and we climbed on some rocks. I was ahead of the others and I looked down from a four foot ledge and - gasp! - a passed out, completely nude middle-aged man was lying on the ground with several empty beer cans and bottles nearby. This was around 2:00 in the afternoon.
I wondered where those came from…
Just kidding, that’s just the funniest damn thing I’ve read in a long time!
In the middle of the woods I once found a pair of 3-d glasses just lying there.
I found a dollar bill with “Bush is a fraud” stamped on it. Who would make a stamp like that?
sorry about the weird post, it was my first time using the quote feature…hee hee crabapples
I was walking across a small bridge over a creek, and found a single instance of vandalism: the phrase “Chicken scratch,” next to a rather crude rendering of a naked, squatting woman (obviously done with the same paint by the same person.) I have yet to grasp the meaning of this graffiti. Her butt, incidentally, was not hairy.
Also, my friends found what looked like a much-overgrown parking lot, with no buildings nearby, with a sign reading “Mental Hospital Parking.” It makes one wonder.
About 5 years ago my sister found a wedding dress neatly packed away in its box out in the middle of a parking lot after leaving her work. It’s an old dress and looked like it was someone’s family heirloom, so she felt bad for the person who lost it. She went around the store and asked several people about it, but nobody claimed it nor seemed to recall seeing it. She put an ad in the paper and let it run for at least a couple weeks, but nobody ever claimed it. She still has it.
About four months ago, in a Border’s bookstore in Houston, in a Nietzsche book, a business card for a Grudjieff occult group. The phone number started with ‘666’, interestingly enough. I called the number, but the line had been disconnected. A shame.
A small wrench-looking device, found in my grandpa’s attic. I say “wrench-looking”, because one end has a(n) hexagonal ring on it, and the other end is long and rounded along all the edges like a handle. Still, there are a few parts on it that make no sense: running the length of the outside of one of the sides of the hexagon is a ridge, and on the handle just below the ring is a small raised rectangular area with a small peak at each end. The entire thing is about three inches long, and looks like it might fit about a 3/4" hexagonal nut. What the other parts are for and what the thing itself is, I have no idea.
1850’s Mexican Pesos
The damn things are following me.
I found the first one when I was 12 in springfield Ill.
In a park I was playing in.
I found the second at College ouside of the library.(Jacksonville AL)
The third I found in Huntesville Ala. It was on the floor of the resturant I worked at.
The 4th (and last?) I found laying in the gutter in a little russian village called Uglich.
Fuck if I can explain how I have found on 4 different occasions in four different places 4 mexican pesos from the 1850’s
I have them locked up here just in case they try to stalk someone else.
This board.
Can not beleve I was the first to say this.
A geodite? Is that the right word for the round rocks, that have crystals on the inside?
My cousin and I were playing in the creek bed near his house, when I was about 8 years old. I thought I had found a great treasure, and he proceeded to try and convince me that it was the egg shell from an alien, or maybe a dinosaur, he wasn’t sure.
I insisted on carrying it back to the house, and he tried to scare me skinless several times by making a loud Rowwwrrrr sound behind me.
Silly, I know, but even after the adults told me he made up the whole thing, I didn’t quite believe them. He could still growl and spook me for about a year after that.
If he had said it was a Dragon egg…
