WHAT THE HOMEOWNER DID WHEN THE
STORM HIT.
SEMANTICS INTO AN UPSTATE
CHURCH AND PUTS ON A BATMAN
COSTUME.
IN A STORY HE WILL SEE ONLY ON
7, FIND OUT WHAT DEPUTIES SAY
THE CAPED CRUSADER TOOK IN HIS
STRANGE HEIST.
LIVE AND LOCAL FOR
CAROLINA'S FAMILY, "7 NEWS AT
10" STARTS NOW.
FIRST AT 10:00 P.M.,
MYSTERIOUS SEEMS POPPING UP
ACROSS THE MAILBOXES ÃÃTHEY
MAY POST A THREAT TO LOCAL
ECOSYSTEMS AND CROPS.
THE SOUTH CAROLINA
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE HAVE
RECEIVED DOZENS OF REPORTS OF
PEOPLE FINDING THESE MYSTERY
SEEDS IN THEIR MAILBOX BUT THEY
ARE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT'S BEHIND THIS.
IN APRIL BARTON FOR HONOR
SURPRISE PACKAGE IN THE MAIL A
FEW WEEKS AGO SHE THOUGHT MAYBE
IT WAS A GIFT.
INSIDE WAS A LITTLE PACKET
OF SEEDS.
IT WASN'T UNTIL SHE CAME
ACROSS A FACEBOOK POST ABOUT
OTHER PEOPLE RECEIVING SIMILAR
PACKAGES THAT SHE REALIZED
SOMETHING DARKER MAY BE AT
PLAY.
REPORTS OF MYSTERY SEED
MAILINGS ARE POPPING UP ACROSS
THE COUNTRY FROM WASHINGTON
STATE TO TEXAS.
THEN IT WAS A LITTLE MORE
REAL THAN IT COULD BE SOMETHING
POSSIBLY TERRORIST.
YOU DON'T KNOW.
THE PACKAGE ALSO CAME WITH
INSTRUCTIONS ON PLANTING THE
SEEDS BUT EXPERTS SAY NOT
SUPPLANT THEM OR EVEN OPEN THE

HE HAS A FEW THEORIES, HE

A SCAM WHERE THE SENDER IS

RECIPIENTS.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S RELATED
TO THAT, IF IT'S SOME KIND OF
HOAX OR SOME KIND OF
ENVIRONMENTAL THREAT THAT MAY
BE COMING FROM CHINA OR
SOMEWHERE ELSE TO INTRODUCE A
DISEASE PROBLEM INTO OUR
COUNTRY.
STATE AGRICULTURE OFFICIALS
RECOMMEND PUTTING THE SEED IN A
ZIPLOC BAG AND CONTACTING
REGULATORS.
COAL SAYS DON'T THROW THEM AWAY
BECAUSE THEY COULD STILL GROW
IN A LANDFILL.
IT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT
COULD BE A HAZARD TO OUR
ENVIRONMENT OR AGRICULTURAL
INDUSTRIES.>> GORTON FOUND
DISTURBING THAT THE PACKAGE SHE
RECEIVED HAD HER NAME ON IT.
WHY THEY KNEW MY NAME AND
WHERE I LIVE?
SHE SAID SHE CONTACTED THE
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND
AWAITING FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS.
UNTIL THEN, SHE'S KEEPING THE
SEED SEALED.
IF YOU DO FIND THOSE SEEDS IN
YOUR MAILBOX, DON'T TOUCH THEM,
DON'T OPEN THEM, PUT THEM IN A
ZIPLOC BAG AND GET IN TOUCH
WITH THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF
AGRICULTURE.
WILL PUT CONTACT INFO ON OUR
WEBSITE WSPA.com.
