Can Indian burial
grounds/mounds really be ‘haunted’?...some claim this to be true…is there truth
to these stories of spirits inhabiting these areas, or is it just a figment of
imagination that has been passed down over the years by overactive imaginations
or would be storytellers to entertain an audience?...perhaps they are lumped
together with cemeteries in that regard, or maybe not all the stories are
imagined…maybe there are paranormal things that have happened…the only
experience I have with any kind of ‘burial mounds’ is on an old golf course
long ago that has since fallen victim to the greedy developers looking to make
a buck or two. On the 10th hole, in the middle of the fairway, there were
several somewhat large mounds that were quite prominent…being young and
impressionable at the time, my father took delight I’m sure, and scared me with
a story that the mounds were Indian burial mounds and that the locals said they
were haunted and guarded by Indian spirits and that you should never walk over
them or you would be subjected to a curse from the Indian gods…tales of ghost
sightings at night, and odd sounds, especially during full moons was how it
went…these scary tales were I’m sure exaggerated by my dad…I was always afraid
to hit my ball near them…therefore I usually missed the fairway and bogeyed the
hole…over the years of course, I learned that they weren’t really Indian burial
mounds…i’ve played thousands of different golf holes and forgotten most of
them, but I’ll always remember the one with the ‘burial mounds’…but are all
these stories of haunted grounds fake?...I wouldn’t bet on it.
