Plague Pit
Not every creepy historical photo has to be very old. Redditor u/jewbo23 has shared a photo taken of their aunt holding a human skull – apparently, their aunt happened to mention the time that she found a huge pit full of human remains in her garden in Norfolk, England.
This, it turns out, was a plague pit, a mass grave for victims of deadly disease. It’s a nice reminder that history is never all that far away, so long as you don’t mind getting your hands dirty.
