There is no doubt a pattern in history of these kinds occurences. "The Curse of the Ancients" from the biscayne times is just one of many accounts of planning or building domains on burial grounds, and the results can be horrific to mild occurences. I was personally reminded of this when working on a huge mansion here in NY. A wealthy British couple decided to buy and build on an ancient Indian burial ground atop of a small mountain. The mansion was and still is plagued with disasterous and costly repairs. The pool house collapsed, the ceilings in their media room collapsed and no amount of repairs would ever sustain. It was just one problem after another. All of our construction mates wondered why these sort of "accidents" would occur. A local, who is a contractor, was aware of this region and told us that this mansion was directly on top of an ancient burial ground. He found arrow heads and other artifacts and I'm convinced he was right, because this mansion is still struck by strange activity that's just unexplainable. I can definitely relate to this post. Wild and scary incidents, for sure!
