Talk about ruining your chances of selling a house! If I was being shown a house that had bones piled in the corner it’s a deal breaker and worse yet possibly on an Indian burial ground, I think not
GIBSON, La. (AP) — A real estate agent showing a house got to the basement and found about 100 human bones in a corner.
James Kenny, a forensic investigator with the Terrebonne Parish Coroner’s Office, says the bones found Saturday were so old that dirt had saturated the marrow inside them. He says they probably are remains of Native Americans buried long before the house was built.
Kenny says he learned that the previous residents would often find bones while mowing the lawn or doing yard work, and would put them in the basement.
Half of the split-level house is on top of a circular mound, which parish officials suggest may be an Indian burial mound.
Neither the agent nor the home’s owner would talk to The Courier of Houma.
