Woman Buys New House, Calls Police Over What She Finds Buried in the Yard [Video]

A woman in Ohio called the police over what she found buried in her back yard, after she began digging for a fence in the home she had recently bought.

Katie Santry, 34, from Columbus, Ohio, purchased the house with her husband last year, but as they dug, they came across something buried about two and a half feet deep: “A very large carpet, like a shag rug.”

“When the police came they basically said they thought it was super weird, they were trying to decide if they were going to call homicide,” she told Newsweek.

The rug was too large and too deep to dig out, but the family’s curiously increased when, that night, Santry’s computer was shattered, and items from her desk were thrown around the room, despite the door being locked and an alarm set.
