The bones of some prehistoric giants have been unearthed near Aniston, Ala. One of the thigh bones was sixty-two inches long, and the skulls averaged thirty-four inches in circumference.
Anniston is a city in Calhoun County in the state of Alabama. The city is situated on the slope of Blue Mountain.
In 2002, an investigation by 60 Minutes[18] revealed Anniston had been among the most toxic cities in the country. The primary source of local contamination was a Monsanto chemical factory, which had already been closed.
For those conspiracy or just free-thinking here is something to latch onto: The location of the skeleton was: “prehistoric giants have been unearthed near Aniston, Ala.”
While the chemical spill that is quaranteed off is located: “Anniston plant encompasses approximately 70 acres of land and is located about 1 mile west of downtown Anniston, Alabama.”
It would be nice for a local to follow up and see if these two locations overlap somewhere, could the bones be located there, or are they already removed?
