An anthropologist made a surprising discovery in a Florida thrift shop's Halloween section on Saturday, officials said.

The North Fort Myers shopper spotted a skull and recognized it as a human skull, according to the Lee County Sheriff's Office. Responding detectives also determined the skull belonged to a human.

The store owner said the skull had been in a storage unit that was purchased years ago, authorities said.

Is it wrong to think this is actually kind of cool, given that it had been in a storage unit for so long?

Assuming there’s a logical explanation for how it ended up anywhere in the first place, of course.

You can buy human bones legally, and if it's in storage I would think that it was acquired legally, but it's also Florida so could be anyone's guess.
