> When my local train station was being renovated to extend the platforms for newer longer trains, they have to knock down a wall for construction. Behind that wall under a bunch of bushes they found skeletal remains. I use this train station every day Will that body was there for years. Whenever I see an abandoned building or gaps in spaces I always just wonder is there human remains there that nobody knows about. It creeps me out

> Good possibility it might have been a deaf student. The California School for the Deaf used to be located on that campus. Until the state came up with some bullshit in 1980 about earthquake safety and how those poor little deaf kids might get killed so they forced them to move across the Bay to Fremont. Then they turned around and gave the campus to Cal for student residences... (FWIW I am deaf myself and used to work for the state)
