SHOCKING: Man claims he found hair poking out of 100-year-old grave

Talk about a hair-raising discovery: A 37-year-old man in California, United States (US) has expressed his astonishment after coming across what looked like human hair sticking out of a century-old grave.

According to Daily Mail, Joel Morrison was visiting the Saint Joseph’s Catholic Cemetery in Sacramento when he made the bone-chilling find. Morrison then started filming and then posted the video on the social media app Tik Tok.

“I was in the cemetery and I’ve seen something really f***ing gross. Here’s the tombstone and there is the person’s hair coming out of the crack in the tombstone,” he can be heard saying in the clip.

After stumbling upon the site, Morrison wasn’t entirely certain what to make out it and whether it was indeed hair poking out from the grave.

“When I first saw it, I was shocked – I wasn’t exactly sure what I was seeing was real. But upon closer inspection, I realised that it was definitely human hair coming out of the grave,” Morrison told Jam Press.

Completely stunned, Joel Morrison started looking around for an explanation and realised that several gravestones in the cemetery seemed to have been destroyed by tree roots and animals.

“After coming to terms with what I had seen I then started to feel bad for the deceased family members and worried about the upkeep of the cemetery, feeling kind of like maybe they were being disrespected or desecrated in some way,” he said.

He now plans to have a sample of the hair taken to the coroner’s office to identify whether or not it is human.

There was a flood of reaction to Morrison’s Tik Tok post and according to fellow users of the app, the occurrence isn’t necessarily out of the ordinary.

“Y’all: this definitely can occur, especially after heavy floods and rain. This can, unfortunately, bring up the bodies,” said one social media user.
