<p>[QUOTE="Deacon Ray, post: 2820541, member: 81896"]<font face="Georgia">The closest experience I’ve had to that was in my own backyard. <i>Actually my experience was really nothing like yours but I'll tell you about it anyway</i>. The vacant lot behind my house was excavated for a new house and nine human skeletons were dug up by earth moving machines. Needless to say the work stopped immediately. Between the police homicide division, the city historian, and an anthropologist from the university—the land was determined to be an unrecorded slave burial ground dating from the 1850s. Most of the remains were relocated and the new house was built. There are still bones on the property however because every time there is a heavy rainstorm they continue to appear. My church conducted a prayer service on the site several years ago to honor the unfortunate people who died while in slavery and were buried there.</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
