Halloween may have passed weeks ago, but the macabre is very much still alive in Los Angeles.
We’ve got La Llorona howling through our hills. Dark history steeping in our streets. Peanut butter in our chocolate.
And now, a grim discovery inside of L.A.’s oldest cemetery may bode something more malicious yet: a pint-sized, potential mummy.
According to Newsweek, the find was made in Boyle Heights’ Evergreen Memorial Park and Cemetery by a man named Tarpit, whose video of the encounter is blowing up on TikTok.
In the clip, Tarpit approaches the stump of a recently cut-down tree while collecting kindling for his kiln, where he zooms in on a tiny, decaying old box wrapped in frayed twine and half-buried. It looks like something cursed from a horror movie that somebody should definitely never ever touch.
