Anyone buying a new property runs the the worst-case scenarios through their head, but you might want to add one more to the list: Your home was once the site of a cemetery and they've just found human bones.

At a Chicago construction site of a 19th-century condo building in the ritzy Gold Coast neighborhood, officials verified last week that human bones were found about 18 inches below ground, according to Chicagobreakingnews.com. The bodies may have been buried there in the mid-1800s when the plot of land was an Irish-Catholic cemetery.
