Explorer claims 'alien claw' and 'skull' found in Peru tunnels

Self-proclaimed paranormal researchers say they have proof of an "alien claw" after discovering a three-fingered bone structure in tunnels in Peru.

The Institute Inkari-Cusco, a group of "paranormal enthusiasts", said they also discovered a skull close to where they allegedly spotted the "hand".

The claims have not yet to be verified, but the researchers said they found the bones while searching caves and tunnels across Cusco in January 2016.
