People Ask For Help Identifying Weird Objects, And The Answers Are Surprising (And A Little Creepy)

What Is This Skeleton Found In The Woods?

Additional information by OP u/Poopermensch:

Looks like maybe a medical model? The woods are by a university.

Answered by u/SeagullsGonnaCome:

…You kinda answered it by saying it was near a university. It’s probably real, a donated specimen, that they are doing forensic tests on. Some forensic schools do testing for standardization comparisons for crime scenes.

AKA, FBI finds bones in the woods. But how long have they been here? Well, they can compare against known values of weathering on bones from research studies…

Answered by u/DogfishDave:

24 vertebrae, looks human. Let the local police know – if it’s part of a uni experiment (or similar), then they should know about it. I’m surprised it’s placed as it is with no identifying data to avoid people ringing the police… so it’s their own fault if you do.

What Is This ‘Numbered Man’ Doll?

Answered by u/CaveCattus:

It could be a Kuman Thong, some sort of protective amulet from Thailand. I can’t find that exact same one, but the idea seems the same. But I am also not from there, so hopefully there will be Thai Redditors who can correct me if I’m wrong.
