Man Finds Severed Hand in a Garage

But don't worry, it's a pretty old hand. Whoever lost their hand did so about 50-80 years ago. Still, how would you like finding a decaying hand while you are painting?

This is precisely what happened to Bo Jesperson when he was renovating an old house. At first, he thought it was a prop but then discovered decaying bone. I find his description of the hand to be both humourous and grisly.

He didn’t cut his nails," he added, describing it as a "workingman’s hand."

The wrist portion appeared jagged, Jespersen said, as if the hand had been removed violently, and 6 to 8 inches of what appeared to be tendons were looped around it.

The hand looked as if it had dried slowly.

"It looked like beef jerky," he said.

I don't know about you, but I don't think I'm going to be eating beef jerky for a long time. There's a little part of me that will always wonder if I'm eating someone's decaying hands. It is irrational of me to feel this way, I know. But aren't all fears irrational?
