Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies researcher Jace Tunnell has found "witch bottles" – occult talismans meant to trap malevolent spirits – along the coast.
The discovery calls to mind recent discoveries of "vampire" graves in Europe, though the reasons behind this burial could be tied to non-vampiric fears.
No burial artifacts were recovered from the structure itself, but the surrounding area yielded over 80 Roman burials containing copper bracelets, coins, glass beads and a bone comb.
