Goodreads asked Neil Clarke:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Neil Clarke Not much... perhaps the time a friend and I discovered the remains of a human skeleton in the woods of the university we graduated from. Campus security didn't believe us and was extremely squeamish about the whole thing. The spine had a metal rod in it, so it was clearly stolen from the biology department and later dumped in the woods. Some animals got at it, so there were bones scattered around the area. This later turned into a campus legend about a body being found in the woods.
