Hudson County – SIX FEET SEVEN IN DEATH
New Jersey Man Unearths Giant Skeleton
In a stunning discovery, Samuel Aspinwall of Kearny, New Jersey has unearthed the skeleton of a man who stood six feet seven inches tall. Aspinwall was digging in his garden at the back of his house on Duke Street with the intention of transplanting a peach tree when he found the bones of the man’s right arm as soon as he broke the ground.
The entire skeleton was buried only a foot and a half below the surface and was in good condition. Aspinwall, who has lived on the property for over twenty-five years, stated that he was sure the body had not been buried in his garden during his occupancy of the premises.
The discovery of a horseshoe heel plate near the skeleton indicates to the police that the body may have been buried fifty years ago when horseshoe heel plates were still in use.
This find is of great importance to science and history as it sheds light on the physical characteristics of humans in the past. It is essential to preserve this find for research and analysis to gain a better understanding of our ancestors and their way of life.
