Halloween decorations have occasionally led to 911 calls reporting that listless decorations are dead bodies. Unfortunately, in Chillicothe, Ohio, it was true; a murdered woman found hanging on a chain-link fence Tuesday morning was thought to be simply another Halloween prank.
Around 8:30 a.m., construction workers called police when they realized a lifeless dummy was actually a real woman.
