A man from California was left in complete shock after they found hair poking out of a 100-year-old grave.
The man shared the discovery on Tiktok, where the story went viral right away.
Joel Morrison, the man who discovered the hair, said:
When I first saw it, I was shocked – I wasn’t exactly sure what I was seeing was real. But upon closer inspection, I realized that it was definitely human hair coming out of the grave.
Joel made the discovery during a visit at the Saint Joseph Catholic Cemetery in Sacramento.
The video then highlights the fact that the hair was poking out from a 100-year-old tombstone, with a tuft of thick locks protruding out of a crack in the stone.
Morrison said that he felt bad for the deceased family members and worried about the upkeep of the cemetery.
He added:
I started to feel bad for the deceased family members and worried about the upkeep of the cemetery, feeling kind of like maybe they were being disrespected or desecrated in some way.
The thing is, there are a lot of trees in the area, which left Joel thinking after some time that it was the roots of the trees that were out.
He explained:
What looks like happened to me was there was a large tree very close to the tomb/grave and the roots from the tree had grown up into the grave, disrupting the concrete barrier and brick mortar, possibly pushing up the remains. Then once the grave was opened squirrels, rodents and whatever other animals were free to go in and out. It looks like maybe they were trying to nest in the human hair.
Joel didn’t get a chance to probe deeper into the mystery.
Joel said that he returned the next day to check it out again, however, the hair had been pushed back into the hole.
Morrison plans to provide bunch of the hair to the coroner’s office to determine whether or not it’s actually from a human.
