They'd torture them first, I don't know why. Maybe their television set was broke." “they found this couple out in California they would rent out rooms to old people and then kill em and bury em in the yard and cash their social security checks.

You wouldn't be the first to find someone buried in your yard. In 2004, construction workers found 13 18th-century coffins containing the remains of 16 infants and children during a renovation of a house in Philadelphia. http://utica.edu/ucpioneers/news.cfm?featureaction=detail&id=1138 It sure looks like it could be a grave.

Considering how old the area is, could be. Up here in New England, we find similar things and sometimes they even end up being old compacted fire pits or storage areas. I agree with Ethan...dig it up! *shudder* the idea of finding unmarked graves in my yard gives me the willies. Considering how old the area is, could be.
