A Tampa couple bought a fake skeleton to enhance their Halloween decorations, only to discover it wasn't so fake after all.
They bought the skeleton for $8.00 at an estate sale, thinking it was made of plastic. But as they set up their decorations, they got the creepy feeling the bones were real. They called the Sheriff's Office.
The county medical examiner determined the bones were from a professionally prepared human anatomical skeleton, likely used for a medical school.
The couple won't be getting their $8 skeleton back. Trafficking in human bones is illegal.
