What would you guess you’d find if you dug up a cemetery? Did you guess…a magical elephant? Well congrats on being retarded. You’d find a bunch of dead bodies, obviously. Well, perhaps not so obvious if you’re a South Carolina newspaper since apparently this is news.

Workers excavating an old South Carolina cemetery have uncovered hundreds of sets of human remains.

The Post and Courier of Charleston reports Thursday that the Charleston Housing Authority found and removed about 350 sets of remains from the former Hampstedt Cemetery.

Historian Charles F. Philips Jr. says the mass graves were likely used for victims of yellow fever. The remains are being moved to Bethany Cemetery, where they will be reburied.
