Chocorua, NH – A puzzling assortment of seemingly random objects have Tamworth residents scratching their heads. Several facebook posts by Tamworth residents George Cleveland and Dennis Quin over the past few weeks have documented unusual objects that have been on display on or near the jersey barriers up on Chocorua Lake’s Narrows Bridge.

The first item to make an appearance on the bridge was a Keurig coffee maker, something that at first could have been passed off as someone’s garbage but as the days went on the items got more and more random including a stuffed cat in a cage, a potted palm tree and a pair of fake pigs most recently.

Quinn, Scarlet Begonias Radio Host, said that there doesn’t seem to be any pattern or connection between the objects noting that they are so unique that someone would most definitely remember seeing them in a friends or family members home.

As to who is leaving the items or what item will show up next remains a mystery.
