This is sickening…looks like the guys who did this are gonna get haunted.
And yes, I do believe ghosts exist. But I also believe the majority of ghost stories are false.
From CNN:
A Cook County cemetery where hundreds of graves were dug up and allegedly resold has been declared a crime scene, meaning that relatives of people believed buried there will not be allowed to visit for several days, an official said Friday.
“It would be the height of irresponsibility for me to invite people in, to raise expectations and then crash them,” Cook County Sheriff Thomas J. Dart told reporters in a news conference held at Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip, Illinois. He pleaded for patience, saying he hoped to reopen the 150-acre cemetery to the public in five to seven days.
Dart said the scope of the investigation has broadened to include “Babyland,” a section of the cemetery intended for children.
“A lot of women came up to me and asked for help with Babyland,” he said. “To a person, every one I talked to could not find any of their children in Babyland.”
A large number of grave sites “are completely missing,” he said, adding that he had received more than 5,000 telephone inquiries and 1,700 e-mails about the matter since the investigation began.
As many as half of the complaints were about missing headstones, 25 to 30 percent were about loved ones who had been relocated, he said.
He cited the experience of one family looking for 10 relatives buried there. “They couldn’t find anybody,” he said.
