Skeleton under the Town Green

Trees have fallen throughout the northeast due to hurricane Sandy. In New Haven, Connecticut a large oak tree fell on the town green and intertwined it its uprooted roots was a human skeleton! Oooh Creepy thing to find on Halloween. The green had once been used as a cemetery and there could be up to 5,000 more skeletons buried under the lawn. The skeleton unearthed today has been sent to the medical examiner's office. It is thought that the skeleton dates from Colonial New England when it was common to bury the dead in the town green.
