Skeletons in the Closet
Usually it's just an expression. "Skeletons in the closet were a real-life problem for Ashford Price when he opened a cupboard in his late aunt's bedroom to be confronted with dozens of human remains." According to the Western Mail, these turned out to be a stash of bronze-age relics from the family caves (your family has caves, right?), put at the bottom of auntie's old oak wardrobe for safekeeping.
"Ancient bones, Nazis and archaeology make for a tale that reads like something from an Indiana Jones film, and Mr Price admits that the circumstances are unusual. 'I do not think anything like this has happened before. We have had to be very careful with them and we have spent all winter looking for a suitable place to put them in the caves. They are the remains of our human ancestors after all, so we cannot really just dump them in a bucket and chuck them somewhere.' "
