Sometimes your neighbor is just lazy. Halloween ends, the pumpkins collapse, and a plastic skeleton is forgotten in the yard. But take a closer look, because sometimes something else may be going on.<\/h4>\n

In the Liberty Wells neighborhood of Salt Lake City, a skeleton family has settled into long-term residency. Two adult skeletons occupy a bench near the sidewalk, waving cheerfully at passersby. Depending on the season, they\u2019re dressed accordingly: flannel in the fall, bunny ears at Easter. A small skeleton dog joins them at times, and in spring a child-sized skeleton sprawls across the bench.<\/h4>\n
