Still Waters Posted August 3, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Thirty years ago, a peat cutter working in the Cheshire countryside spotted what he thought was a piece of wood trundling along a conveyor belt. Tasked with the job of keeping the belt free of debris, he threw it away, but as it hit the ground, the dirt fell from it and the remains of a human leg lay in the summer sun. That gruesome discovery on 1 August 1984 led to Rick Turner, the newly-appointed county archaeologist, being called to the site on Lindow Moss. http://www.bbc.co.uk...ngland-28589151 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeder Posted August 3, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Have I misunderstood this part of the story? "We know he was killed by blows to the head, garrotting, swallowing mistletoe and then drowning in the waters of the peat bog. "But we don't know for certain why he was killed or whether he was willing." I dont think Id be willing to have all that done to me... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
