What they found inside this box was a spooky, fascinating treat
A chap called Scott Pack went viral when he shared this picture of the battered old box his dad discovered at a boot sale, and teased people about what was inside it.
My dad was at a boot sale recently and saw this battered old box. He is a fan of boxes, and boxes are made to be opened, so he did what most of us would do and peeked inside. pic.twitter.com/9pg3revsLF

So here goes …

There were a number of plates in various states of disrepair. The bloke wanted a fiver for the box and its contents but my dad haggled him down to £4. pic.twitter.com/45zMf2bVlU

When he got home he held each plate up to the light and took a photo using his iPhone.
He then used Photoshop to turn each negative image into a positive.
