They put nails in these bodies to keep them down?
Oye, you gotta hear this one, mi gente. They’re digging around in Rome, right? In some old Roman cemetery, the Ostiense necropolis, and they find three skeletons with big ol’ iron nails stuck right on their chests. Like, on purpose. And the archaeologists, they're thinking this was to keep the spirits from getting restless. To make sure these folks stayed put in the ground. Can you imagine?
Look, here’s the deal— we got plenty of ghosts wandering around Phoenix already, you know? The Orpheum Theatre, the Hotel San Carlos, all those old mining towns up north. We don’t need ancient Romans sticking nails in people to keep them from haunting us. Half the time, I swear, the spirits here are just trying to find some shade or a working swamp cooler. If we started nailing people down here, the only thing it’d stop is them getting to the nearest Sonoran hot dog cart. That's the Valley, baby — 115 degrees and we're still out here, even the spirits.
