When you think about it....the site lay undisturbed for over 60 years because the locals feared the spirits of the dead were still there

Pretty amazing what can turn up after all this time.

Wow

Imagine stumbling on something like that on a hike...

Dammit, they specified in the article where the site is located. Hope there's some cordoning-off happening there right now.

You shoulda read the whole article. Last paragraph.

With all that ordinance laying around it sounds like a case where superstition saved lives.
