Man Posts Photo Of ‘Rock’ Found On Beach, The Next Day Doctors Quarantine His House

Strange Find

As soon as he suspected that there might be more to the strange “rock” he’d found on the beach, he called for help immediately. He stood outside and helplessly watched his house being cordoned off and quarantined.

After a few minutes, a man in protective gear walked out and began to report his findings, but all he could do was stand there with his mouth wide open.

Taking A Stroll

It had all begun in the Spring of 2016. Steven Whitten and his wife, Viola, were taking a walk along Middleton Sands, their favorite stretch of beach in Lancashire, England.

The beach, which offers breathtaking views out into the Irish Sea, was only a stone’s throw away from their home in the village of Overton.

Their Favorite Spot

While Middleton Sands is a popular spot among hikers and dog owners, Steven and Viola preferred walking along a less popular area of the beach.

They were admiring the view when Steven began to notice a strange, acrid smell in the air. Little did they know, they were about to stumble onto something that would change their lives.

A Strange Rock

The unwitting couple followed the foul smell right to its source. There, lying washed up on the beach, was an odd and odorous rock about the size of a football.

It had been worn smooth by years of being pummelled by the waves, and it seemed to have a strange, waxy texture.

What had they found?

Was It Special?

Steven touched the rock gingerly. He had read about strange beach finds in the area before, but he had never heard of anything like this being found in the area.

With his curiosity piqued, he picked it up and wrapped it in Viola’s scarf. He couldn’t wait to get online to see if his suspicions were true.
