More bones uncovered: A renter's dog dug up the bones of a human arm when the dog got into the basement. The renter moved & no other bones were discovered to my knowledge.
Unsolved murder: Police discovered the body of a man who had been stabbed in the chest. They said his body had “popped” indicating he had been down there for some time. He was never identified. It was assumed that he was living in the basement, had gotten into a fight with a companion & stabbed. That was the end of the investigation. There is still a bedroll in the basement that I was told belonged to this man.
Home Inspection unearths bones: The bones of the man killed in 1940 were discovered when a pest control guy came to the house to do a termite inspection that was required when the new owners bought the house. The coroner's office removed the body leaving a grave-like indention in the basement that remains to this day.
Natural causes: Female owner of home found dead in pantry of heart attack.
Man suffocated by coal in basement: The house was empty in the winter of 1940. The story goes that a homeless man was sleeping in the basement during a cold snap. At some point before Christmas, 1940, the house was sold. The new owners ordered a load of coal to be delivered. The police surmised that when the coal truck dumped the coal into the basement, the homeless man was sleeping below the coal shoot & was smothered.
