A bone-chilling sight in the middle of sunny San Luis Obispo on Sunday, a passerby noted an abandoned casket near the 101 freeway by the Santa Rosa overpass in California's Central Coast.
Crossing her fingers that there was not a body inside, Childs posted some up-close pictures on social media. Soon the pictures exploded, and people couldn’t help but theorize how it ended up there.

"After speaking to the pedestrian, we realized she was part of the transient community here in San Luis Obispo. She came across it in a dump pile outside of a building that was being refurbished, and part of her statement was that it was given to her by construction crews who said it was going to be thrown out, and at that point, she just took possession of it," explained CHP Officer Miguel Alvarez.
