CHARLESTON, S.C. -- The remains of 21 Confederate soldiers that were recovered from beneath the stands of a military college's football stadium will be reburied next month.

Hundreds of soldiers and civilians were buried during the Civil War on the land where The Citadel's stadium now stands.

The city meant to allow the graves to be moved in 1948, when the stadium was built, but because of a clerical error the city's letter only allowed the headstones to be moved.

The recovered remains of about 350 civilians remain in storage until the college decides where they should be reburied. Officials are considering reburying them on the stadium's grounds and erecting a monument.

I think the word "any" is more appropriate.

Wasn't that the premise of the movie "Poltergeist"?

6. There are abandoned

burial places in many areas of the 'low country'. While wandering the Barrier Islands and the Francis Marion National Forest one can often come across a lonely tombstone or two. In several places even today there are small abandoned cemeteries returning to nature.

It is an area of great turmoil and failed dreams remembered only by decaying bones.

7. I can believe it in the Francis Marion National Forest

stupid sand fleas or whatever the hell those things were.

8. Gnats

Oh! Gnats. There are many flesh eating insects in the forest. Some unknown to science I bet.

The people in the low country are thought to be uncommonly friendly; waving all the time. In reality they are chasing Gnats away.

14. "clerical error" = too expensive to move the bodies?

hmmm, . . .

Much cheaper just to move the headstones and pocket the money . . . wonder whose palms got greased . . .

[hickman1937]

15. Lol, I had the same reaction. Wonder how much money was saved

on that clerical error. Where the heck are the headstones?
