A Mystery Close To Home...!

We've looked at mysteries from all over the world, but here's one from my backyard...almost!

I had never heard of this particular mystery until I found it over at listverse! Thanks to them, I now have something close to home i can check out! Exciting, huh?

Black Hope Curse

If you have ever seen the movie Poltergeist, you’re aware of the idea that building homes on top of cemeteries is probably a horrendous idea. However, that seemingly natural line of thinking apparently never occurred to the people who built a series of upscale homes in a neighborhood outside of Houston, Texas, and what unfolded sounds extremely similar to the movie, to the point where you would think it’s based entirely on this unsolved mystery.

Two families, including the Haney family, found themselves in the midst of what appeared to be a real live haunting after moving into the neighborhood, particularly when, like in Poltergeist, they began to dig a pool only to discover human corpses under the ground. The corpses belonged to former slaves, and soon enough the Haneys began to notice strange things happening on their property, including strange sounds and items mysteriously moving. Another family, the Williams family, also lived in the area and claimed that whenever they attempted to plant anything in the soil, it would almost immediately die. At one point Jean Williams attempted to dig in an effort to find a body to prove they were living over a gravesite, and after becoming ill her daughter took over. Her daughter promptly suffered a heart attack and within two days, she was dead.

Ya know, maybe I don't want to study this mystery too closely. Last thing I need right now, is to be bothered by some Poltergeist. That kind of excitement is not for me!

Better have our coffee outside. The sun is shining, so let's take advantage of that fact!
