When I was in high school, a friend of mine was swimming in a quarry with some buddies. They discovered a decomposed body trapped under a ledge in the quarry, apparently a drowning victim. They notified the authorities and the TV stations got wind of it. News crews and deputies were on hand when the body was recovered from the pit. The poor victim turned out to be someone's discarded scarecrow!! The boys were embarassed and the news people were very annoyed. :D
