Apparently, Shane managed to unearth a witch bottle that was popular in the area.
Shane Mears, 52, from New Orleans, USA, works as a bartender, but prefers to devote his free time to archeology. A man arranges excavations in places that seem interesting to him. And sometimes he manages to find something: belt buckles or bullets from the Civil War. But this time, Shane's find turned out to be more interesting and, according to many Internet users, more dangerous.
Recently, a man discovered an old bottle during excavations in a vacant lot. Inside were human teeth, hair, and a stag beetle. The bartender suspects urine in the strange liquid inside, but he has not yet checked. According to his information, a house stood on this place in the 1800s, so Shane suggested that it was not just a bottle, but a talisman, writes Unilad.
In ancient times, the people of this city especially believed in witch bottles (by the way, they are believed in them everywhere and to this day). Such vessels served as amulets against evil spells and intentions, and were easily made. It was necessary to put in any vessel the items according to the list that were in each house, and then either bury it near the house, or lower it into running water, or walled it up in the wall. It was forbidden to take out such bottles, and even more so to open them, because then all the negative that the bottle was holding back was directed at the one who disturbed it.
Shane suggested that it might still be the subject of voodoo magic, but subscribers agreed that it was a witch's bottle. They all as one demanded to return her back to the earth so that the terrible find would not harm both Shane and everyone around.
