Ocean anomalies, wild animals that just want to be close to us, some mysteries have answers, some press offices need better writers, and updates from previous stories.
The University of Bath's press release is also wrong in saying that plesiosaurs were 'first found' by Mary Anning. Mary (or her family) found the first nearly complete specimens, as a result of which plesiosaurs were described and named; but bits and pieces had been turning up from the early 17th century onwards.
I've come across human bones in Churchyards. It's not as uncommon as people think. Not that I intentionally look for them, it's hard not to notice. Graves have been and continue to be disturbed and eroded, plus some burial grounds were unmarked and later built on.
Most – or maybe just many – British graveyards are associated with churches, and go back for a couple of thousand years some of them. Plus there are many unmarked grave sites from both Christian and pre-Christian times. So I'm not surprised that badgers and apparently moles sometimes bring up human remains and grave goods. The whole country is pretty much covered with burials – watch the British version of Time Team if you are interested in human remains, they come up with them all the time.
As you possibly know enemas have a long history in medicine. One of the British Kings James – can't remember which one – received coffee enemas when he was ill, which probably contributed to his death. Apparently they make you feel really perky. :) Damn I just realised that's a pun – not intended.

Human assphyxiation subjects may need the services of an anusthesiologist!
