Winged skeletons resembling fairies, werewolves and aliens were found in the basement of a 19th-century collector’s London mansion.
According to Alex CF, who shared about the discovery, the collection belonged to Thomas Theodore Merrylin, a biologist and wealthy aristocrat in the 1800s. In 1960, London planned to build a new residential area and house. Merrylin’s old villa after many years of abandonment is on the verge of demolition.
In the basement of the house, construction workers found about 5,000 small sealed wooden boxes. They were very surprised to find the bodies of strange creatures inside, Alex CF said.
However, many argue that the collection is a work of imitation and that a person with a passion for magical creatures created them in the late 19th century.
