In the late 1800's some young boys discovered some bones while digging in a hill side in McKees Rocks along the Ohio river just outside of Pittsburgh and further exploring paid for by Andrew Carnegie would reveal it was a burial mound for a long ago Indian tribe the Adenas .
Instead of the residents backing up and replacing the bones and leaving it alone like you would a cemetery they desecrated it by digging into it and putting business and homes on it .
Ever since that day long ago McKees Rocks has seen many Fires caused by accident and arson and horrific explosions and Industrial Accidents like no where else.
Many are quick to blame a curse put upon the people of McKees Rocks for disturbing the mound .
In reality when you look at all of the incidents its mans own greedy, uncaring hand of stupidity and ignorance involved putting money above human life.
The Pressed Steel Car Company where conditions where so bad a person a day died there is just one of many examples .
But the curse makes for a good story and maybe there is something to it just look how many young boys have drowned and or disappeared in the area. All I know is I work in the Bottoms of McKees Rocks as the area is known and will never be involved with the mound ever than to pay it reverence it deserves as there may well be more remains of Indians in there. It needs to be restored and remains returned to there eternal rest but I do not see that happening any time soon as long as money is involved.
Of course the death of one of the Bryans in a fall and a couple fires and explosions at Bryans plants over the years keeps the curse alive in many peoples minds because they where the ones to cut into and chop up much of the mound .
