If you have ever been to New Orleans or you know something about the city you know that their cemeteries are above ground.  But a local resident found out that it was not always that way.

Homeowner Vincent Marcello lives in the historic French Quarter and decided to put a swimming pool in his backyard.  Little did he know that what would be unearthed were 13 caskets with all the bodies intact from a 1700-era  cemetery.  It is believed to be the very first cemetery established in the city.  That’s pretty freaky, don’t you think?
