And as far as the Superdome being built over a graveyard, that much is true! This is the story that I've always heard.....
The Superdome was given permission to begin it's construction once the graves had been properly deconsecrated by the priest in charge of that graveyard. However, there were remains that were removed by family members and friends and also that of those who did not have any headstones to claim their title or name. Those remains/bodies were seperated until all were removed and then sent to Charity Hospital for storage until records could be provided to validate where each body lied and to whom the vault/tomb belonged to.
.....This is where it seems fitting that the Superdome is haunted.....
The construction foreman never made an accurate landscape of the area to show exactly where each of the remains came from so those who didn't claim their relatives in the very begining of the ground breaking had fits when they learned that it would be close to impossible to identify a loved one because all the remains were basically mass shipped to the hospital! Many people didn't bother to go through the hassle to find said relative and those records that could not claim a body saw that persons remains placed along with the others and lost to the history books forever! Supposedly, the company who removed the bodies ran an article in the paper for those who might want to claim their relatives but there were hardly any people that showed up. Charity couldn't store the bodies anymore so those whose remains could be identified but not claimed were buried in the City Park Cemetery by priest who blessed their graves. Those remains that could not be identified or claimed were also buried there but it was without a cermony or blessing to say that it was not right to bless graves of those who might not share the priest's denomination. Basically meaning if your were Protestant and the priest was Catholic, you were out of luck! These bodies are said to be buried in a shabby marked grave in a single plot with how many peoples bones, ashes, who knows mixed together! This is said to be the reason why the Superdome has so much bad luck but like I said this is what I've been told
