  1. Same thing happened with a dead outlaw from the 1800s whose dead body ended up in a hanuted house in Long Beach – his name was Elmer McCurdy rumor is the body was also used as a halloween attraction at the Boys Club on Fair Oaks.

    The arm fell off one day and the folks in Long Beach realized the remains were mummified.

  2. Great neighbors! Didn’t even recognize the poor guy. Couldn’t have been very friendly!
