When a care package turns into a scare package, you know what’s inside can’t be good. A family from Alaska got quite the fright when they opened a parcel from relatives living in Australia, which ended up containing a skull.
Andrea Eastley grew up in Australia but now lives in Alaska with her three young children. Her parents were looking to send their grandchildren some delicious Aussie treats for Christmas but when the package arrived, the goodies weren’t what they anticipated.
Instead of delicious snacks, an animal skull and an array of other eerie items were found inside, including a piece of fabric with symbols on it and a preserved fish in clear plastic which was “wrapped up like a mummy.”
Eastley shared her shocking discovery on Instagram with the caption: “Super excited to open a package we have been waiting on from nana, with ginger nuts [biscuits] and lollies [candy] to find this.”
While Eastley wasn’t sure if the skull was real, she did note that there was some dirt on it. She also mentioned that her mother wouldn’t have mailed the spooky items as a prank, as she had promised to send the Australian treats to her grandkids as a Christmas gift.
However, Eastley doesn’t believe there were any malicious motives behind the mail delivery. “We think the package had been opened by customs to inspect, and they have put the wrong stuff back in it,” Eastley said. For now, the whereabouts of her Aussie treats still remain a mystery.
