People who work at remote places, like forest officers, oil rig workers, what creepy things

have you noticed while at work?

I do a lot of stream work, so I spend time out in pretty rural areas walking streams

and rivers.

Once my co-worker and I were working in a more urban environment and came across what we

initially thought was a body, which of course

triggered the, oh God, from us, but it ended up being a firefighter's dummy that had fallen down a hill.

We felt pretty dumb. Other notable things include a small grave in the middle of nowhere for someone's

dog, which was kind of sad, and a stuffed rabbit with shoddy shells placed where its eyes should be,

a mannequin very purposefully placed in a chair in the middle of the wood, and lots of little random

altars. I also did work in Myrtle Beach, which was a hellhole, and accidentally walked into an

inhabited homeless camp. I was peering into a stormwater grate when I looked up and saw a homeless person

standing in his shelter, staring at us and saying nothing. I felt like I was trespassing,

so we quietly left. I worked at a public forest. One day we had someone report a dead animal

on the side of one of our trails. A few of us from the front desk hiked out to see what it was.

It looked like a giant piece of liver, maybe? Just a pile of smooth red meat, no blood around.

And it was wrapped up in a t-shirt with some coins scattered around it. We called our rangers to go

check it out, and one of them was pretty sure it was placenta.

The weird part is you have to check in through a front desk, so someone either snuck a placenta

or liver in, or gave live birth, or removed an organ on our trails.

We never got an answer on what that pile of meat was, how it got there, or why.

I work on North Sea oil rigs on an ad hoc basis off the coast of Scotland.
