In person or generally?

Because the most horrifying thing I've seen but not in person was a deer eating human corpses on a body farm.

A body farm is a scientific study where corpses are left out, exposed to the elements, and the decomposition is measured over time.

If you ever read the news and saw a story about a body being recovered and the officials estimated that they died x months ago, that's because of body farms...

But then this happens (NSFL pictures):
