This story is true and accurate. My aunt owns 14 acres on Great Falls Hwy. About half of it is covered with hardwood trees and pines. The other half was plowed and cleared to build on. When this was done about 8 years ago we found a lot of arrowheads and even a tomohawk! This excited us so much we started searching all over the property.

At the very back of the property a clearing opens up and you are in an open field. We discoved this and found about 20-25 piles of rocks. We figured they were indian graves. Next to one we found another tomohawk and 4 arrowheads. In the middle of the stones (and this is the only one like this) was a stick coming out of the middle. We took our cool treasures and beat feet to the house.

That night when myself and my brothers went to bed we kept hearing noises outside the window. It sounded like someone scratching at the screen. They were clawing at the side of the house. We were scared to death. Since we were staying at my aunts house we told her and my uncle what we found and where. When my uncle heard this he made me and my two brothers get dressed and take the tomohawk back to the grave site. You never saw three kids more scared.

The worst thing is he sent us alone, he would not come with us. Something about we disturbed the spirit so we had to be the ones to fix it. We returned the items and made it back home white and shaking. He then explained to us if you find something in the middle of a field it was lost in a hunt or in battle. But, to remove something from the resting place of a warrior ( because of the stick in the center of the rocks) we had disturbed that spirit. We never heard any more clawing and we do go back to visit the graves but only in the daytime. One thing we never do is take anything!
