Retired woman Priscilla Bailey discovers a mysterious blue crystal ornament purchased for $2 at a thrift shop, which contains a moving substance inside.
Upon closer inspection, Priscilla and her daughter suspect the substance may be human ashes, leading them to seek the original owner of the ornament.
The search for the owner includes contacting the thrift shop, local police, and media outlets, but no missing reports are found.
A woman named Connie, who owns a similar ornament, reveals that the substance inside may actually be volcanic ash from Mount Saint Helens, alleviating initial concerns.
The incident highlights the potential for valuable and sentimental items to be lost or donated, prompting discussions about thrift shopping and its surprises.
Other bizarre finds in thrift shops include a “poop diary,” a hornet’s nest, and a sculpture featuring a pistol riding a unicorn, showcasing the eclectic nature of thrift store items.
