MBTA makes eerie discovery in Government Center station

BOSTON, MA - 10/27/2015: JUST IN TIME FOR HALLOWEEN......Steve Davis, a brick layer who was working on the Blue Line came across these characters. As part of the Government Center project, workers are making repairs to the Blue Line platforms. Recently, workers made an interesting discovery in a small, hollow section of concrete that was poured more than sixty years ago. What you see in the photos was found rolled up in a ball. Despite these ghoulish garments, the work at Government Center Station remains on schedule, with the re-opening set for the spring.

An Auror will be along shortly to cast an Obliviate spell to remove this inconvenient discovery from Mr. Davis' memory.
