Hurricane Sandy knocks down tree, turns up skeleton

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — In addition to being one of the more devastating storms ever to hit the east coast, Hurricane Sandy can now be counted as a gravedigger.

The storm knocked a tree down in New Haven, and inside was a human skeleton, according to TV station WTNH.

"I noticed what I thought was a rock at first, I kind of poked it and a piece came off in my hand, and I noticed it was bone fragments," said Katie Carbo, according to WTNH. "So I took a stick and knocked some of the dirt away and noticed it was an entire skull and body and vertebrae, ribs."

Carbo found human remains under that tree.

The area used to be a cemetery.

All of the headstones were moved, but the bodies were not.
