CLICKBAIT: look at this headline

Where on earth do they get the idea that it is “blood sucking”? And how have they extrapolated “human hands” from this photograph? I will, however, accept that it does appear to be mummified, but having examined many mummified creatures, ancient and modern, I would posit that there is not necessarily anything strange, mystic, or sinister about mummified creatures. Wikipedia:

 

”A mummy is a dead human or an animal whose soft tissues and organs have been preserved by either intentional or accidental exposure to chemicals, extreme cold, very low humidity, or lack of air, so that the recovered body does not decay further if kept in cool and dry conditions. Some authorities restrict the use of the term to bodies deliberately embalmed with chemicals, but the use of the word to cover accidentally desiccated bodies goes back to at least the early 17th century.”

 

My personal best guess is that it is yet another raccoon. a mummified analog to the so-called Montauk monster which was discovered back in 2008, which turned out to be another raccoon, long dead, and the subject of a mildly amusing stoned hoax. JD
