Connecticut: A pair of junk removers were in for a real Halloween scare when they realised that two of the skulls from the house of a deceased man, which they thought were plastic props for Halloween, turned out to be real. This happened a day before Halloween celebrations. The skulls were among thousands of occult-related items that David Odice and Charlie Inzucchi of The Junkluggers Junk Removal Co cleared out of the Fairfield home, which belonged to Robert L DeVitto, who died at the age of 56 two weeks ago.
