Oh Boo my friend. This afternoon I have another real story for you about a mummy. I heard about this story early last year and couldn’t believe it. Since then, we have even her it mentioned on television. Enjoy my friends – I’m here to hold your hand or paw if you need me 🙂
In 1976, a camera crew was filming a television show inside of a haunted house in Long Beach, California. When they were setting up, they moved a mummy prop to the side. When they did this, one of the arms fell off. When the arm fell off, they noticed that it was actually real human bones. After the authorities were called in, they learned that the body was the criminal Elmer McCurdy who was killed during a shoot out following a train robbery.
After he was shot, a funeral director embalmed his body and put it on display since he was so proud of his work. Eventually a pair of carnival promoters claiming to be McCurdy’s brothers took the corpse for themselves. McCurdy’s corpse popped up in many haunted houses across America before winding up in Long Beach, California.

The criminal’s body was never claimed by the authorities for a burial?

Apparently not until his family claimed it. Weird situation to end up in a ‘haunted house’. XOXO – Bacon

I know! Can you imagine finding something like this brother? Especially you know if you had the desire to gnaw a bone and then found out it was human. OMP! That would definitely be our luck! XOXO – Bacon

My mommy is the same Auntie Sharon. She says that if she wants the water scared out of her, she’ll just ask daddy to scare her with the checkbook – snorts with piggy laughter. XOXO – Bacon
