Boston police are investigating after skeletal remains were discovered at a South Boston property at 8 Glover Court Monday afternoon.

According to the Boston Globe, officers responded to the multi-family home after a report of possible human remains. The bones have been taken by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, which will determine whether they are human and, if so, work to identify them and determine how long they may have been there.

The investigation remains active, and no additional information has been released at this time. We’ll keep you posted as more details become available.

This story is making us think of this creepy story from a few years ago in the neighborhood.
