This sounds like something right out of an Edgar Allan Poe novella!
A reddit user posted that they had found the tongues under a home in Florida that was being inspected before a sale! Obviously, authorities got involved because this seems like some freaky serial killer stuff but they quickly figured out what the tongues were doing down there.
Apparently one of the previous homeowners was Dr. Ronald Baughman, a renowned pathologist, researcher, and University of Florida Professor Emeritus. He had moved into the home in the 60s and brought the tongues with him so he could conduct research on various thyroid conditions. He needed to store the tongues in a cool, dry place so he stored them under the floorboards of the house! BUT, the research never happened and he forgot about the tongues! Leaving them to be discovered but an unsuspecting home inspector!
Classic Florida.
