In 1998, a construction project at 36 Craven Street in London, England, led to a grim and unexpected revelation. During renovations of the historic property, which had served as the residence of Benjamin Franklin in the 18th century, builders unearthed a hidden basement room. In this concealed space, they found over 1,200 bone fragments. This shocking discovery represented the remains of at least 15 different individuals, including adults and children. News of this unsettling find sent a ripple of apprehension through the public, sparking speculation about the involvement of one of America's most revered Founding Fathers in a macabre piece of history.
