A horrified woman called in the cops after spotting what she thought was a human skull in a stream… but it wasn’t real.
Tara Alexandra was startled when she saw the eerie body part in a beck.
The water ran alongside a car park.
The mum-of-three immediately called the police to alert them of a potentially gruesome situation.
Officers promptly arrived and retrieved the skull.
Thankfully, the skull turned out to be a model and it was made from concrete.
However, it looks disturbingly realistic with a set of teeth and eye sockets.
The false alarm happened in Pickering, near Scarborough, North Yorkshire, on Tuesday afternoon (18 Jul).
Tara Alexandra said: “I’m glad I reported it either way.
”Just pleased it doesn’t belong to someone’s loved one.”
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “We received a call from a member of the public who had seen a human skull in the beck running alongside the Ropery car park in Pickering.
”We retrieved the skull and I’m very happy to report that the skull was a concrete model, but as you can see… it’s quite realistic.”
Local, John Bird said: “This is awesome.”
Moya Rowland joked: “Can I have it for Halloween decs.”
Tracey Dawson said: “Me please, for my garden.”
