Every day, my neighbor watered the same patch of land where nothing grew: when the police arrived, they found something terrible there 😱😱
Every morning, exactly at 6:30, my neighbor went out into the yard with a yellow hose in her hands. And every time – the same thing: she watered a small patch of land near the fence. Always only that. The rest of the plot, where tomatoes, cucumbers and strawberries grew, remained dry.
At first, I thought she had some particularly capricious plants there. But after a few days, it became clear – nothing grew in that place. Just wet earth.
One day I couldn’t stand it and asked:
– Why do you water here so often?
Every day the neighbor watered the same plot of land where nothing grew: when the police arrived, they found something terrible there
She shuddered, her hands began to shake, and without looking at me, she muttered:
“I have potatoes here… a special kind.”
Potatoes? Every day and so much water? I realized that she was lying. But I decided not to insist – just to observe.
A week passed. The land remained empty, and the neighbor herself became more and more nervous and irritable. Sometimes I caught her heavy gaze on me, as if she understood that I suspected something.
That night I couldn’t sleep for a long time. Only one thought was spinning in my head: what if something was wrong there? The next morning I dialed the police. They found my statement strange, but still agreed to check. And what the police found in her yard shocked everyone 😱😱 Continued 👇👇
A neighbor watered the same plot of land every day, where nothing grew: when the police arrived, they found something terrible there
When the police entered the yard, the neighbor turned pale. She tried to justify herself by saying that it was just a habit, that she felt sorry to leave the plants without water. But the more she spoke, the more confused she became.
One of the policemen approached the wet ground and began digging. Literally a few minutes later, the shovel caught something hard. When they removed a layer of soil… I almost screamed.
A human hand was sticking out of the ground.
It turned out later: it was her husband, who “disappeared” without a trace a couple of months ago. She took his life during an argument and buried him right in the yard, hoping no one would guess.

She planted seeds on top to disguise it, but due to panic watering, they rotted, leaving bare soil – and that gave her away.
Sometimes I think… if she had watered the whole garden, I might never have noticed.
