Now here's a real homeowner's nightmare!
Yeesh! :wow: :scared:

Jefferson Woman Finds Bodies Buried Under House
Old Cemeteries Hidden All Over Wisconsin

JEFFERSON, Wis. -- At the time Helen Weisensel bought her house, she didn't know it was built on top of an old cemetery -- and the bodies were still there.

All the bodies were supposed to have been relocated, but now home renovations have turned into a nightmare for the Jefferson woman.

Weisensel bought the property 20 years ago. When she started her remodeling project, she knew it could bring headaches, but never imagined problems like this. What she found buried beneath a crawl space in her basement would shock just about any homeowner. Fifteen months ago, she struck out to fix a crumbling foundation, hiring a man with a Bobcat.

"He only got a scoop-and-a-half of dirt out, and when he dumped the second scoop, a human skull actually rolled out of the dirt," she said.

1. Wow! You're not kidding!
It's also a shame no one is stepping forward to help her. :(

5. Hmm. In Arizona, you own the artifacts beneath your property.
I wonder if that rule applies to human remains. Nevertheless, Helen Weisensel should not be required to pay one penny toward toward preserving or moving those bones. And any related delay in her home improvement work that results in a cost to her should be fully repaid by the entity causing the delay.
