Skeletons found under swimming pool on Guam.

The wife and I were driving to Lake Placid today when we heard on a local FM Radio news station that about 58 skeletons were discovered while construction crews were removing a swimming pool on Guam. Any of you locals hear anthing about this? And if this story is true, was it the Agana swimming pool that was being dismateled?

Just did the 'Google' thing. Skeletons were found under a swimming pool from the Guam Hotel 'Okura' in Tuman Bay. 2,500 years old. Wow!

Interesting... here in Utah we keep our skeletons in the closet.

It seems that just about anywhere they look in Tumon there are skeletons. When they built the Hyatt they found remains and not they are working on a development near Gun Beach and have run in to remains again.

Here in New York, skeletons are usually found at the bottom of the 'drink' wearing concrete shoes.

do you guys remember my parents good friends the Clevelands. they bought a new house on the hills where that 747 crashed that one year coming in for a landing. sorry i dont remember roads i was too young. but anyways all those houses were built on graves. they had an entity that kept moving things and my dad actually took a picture of it looked like a big blob. was really freaky. they couldnt wait to move.

Amy, I do remember that plane crash well (JAL), in Dedeado Heigts (Sp?), I think it was. The plane took off from the run way and kept the same level of flight until it kissed the hill.

I am very intrested in that 'entity' that you spoke of! (Kind of a side intrest that I have).

thankyou ric dedeado heights exactly and i wasnt sure if the plane was taking off or coming in. i even was in the clevelands home once and it was a very eerie feeling. the entity never harmed them but they felt the cold breeze go by them all the time and like i said things were always in their wrong places

Ric Larson said...

Amy, these/those 'entities'? You mentioned something about 'U-tube'? Maybe I am incorrect about that? I want to check it out further!

Were your friends the 'Clevelands' OK?

I am very fasinated about this whole thing! Ric

Actually I think it was '76 and it was a turbo prop loaded with construction workers from the P.I.
that were returning home.it was right after typhoon Pamela.The pilot had the two inboard engines feathered(I'm not sure what its called)but the plane never could get enough lift and flew right into the side of the hill. Two locals died when the plane hit their car as it crossed the highway.

I think you are right Mat. Better memorie than me!

I too was thinking it was a JAL jet, and a 747 at that. My memory wires must have got'n crossed. At, or about/near the same time of the Guam plane crash, a JAL 747 kissed the side of Mt. Fuji in Japan. First or 2nd 747 to ever crash (if my memory serves me right).

Well Mat, I may be wrong about the plane crash into Mt. Fugi in the 70's. Just did a 'Google' search...nothing in that time period. I do remember my stepfather and me talking about such a crash while living on Guam. Hmmmm? Wow! I'm loosing it already at such so young? :)
