Burial Mounds, Ghosts and the Paranormal
Moundsville Prison has the largest burial mound in North America in its front yard. Is it a coincidence that it is also the most haunted places in America? Mounds were portals for the dead. Whether you watch, Ghost Adventures, The Dead Files, My Ghost Story or any f the other shows, i many cases the locations are near burial mounds. Think of how many of these shows originate from Ohio, Indiana or West Virginia where the Adena mounds are located. Coincidence?
Burial Mounds may already in pagan times have been pointed out as tombs of gods who died in myth or ritual, like the tombs of Zeus in Crete and of Osiris in Egypt. Again, fairies, in some aspects, are ghosts of the dead, and haunt burial mounds; hence, when gods became fairies they would do the same. And once they were thought of as dead kings, any notable burial would be pointed out as theirs, since it is a law in folk-belief to associate burial mounds or other structures not with the dead or with their builders, but with supernatural or mythical or even historical personages. If síde ever meant "ghosts," it would be easy to call the dead gods by this name, and to connect them with the places of the dead
