For centuries, people have dug peat to use as a cheap fuel for fires. Two men were doing this at a peat bog in Denmark in 1950 when they had a horrible shock - at their feet was a dead body! The police were called in because there was a rope around the man's neck.
An old woman said that a local man had gone missing some time before. Everyone thought he had fallen into the bog while he was drunk. Now it seemed he had been murdered.
The police lost interest when the science report came through - the man had been dead for nearly 2,000 years.
