They hammered nails into Roman skeletons to stop ghosts. Really.

They found something wild under Rome, listen

Okay so, real talk about this town, we’re all about a good show, right? But this? This takes the cake. Archaeologists digging around in Rome, in some old necropolis – basically an ancient graveyard – they find three skeletons with iron nails hammered into their chests. Not just one or two, we’re talking multiple nails on each one. Like someone was really making sure these folks stayed put.

Here's the deal: the experts think it was to "protect" the living from restless spirits. Or maybe to protect the dead *from* something. Look, I’ve seen some wild stuff happen out here, from the Neon Museum boneyard looking like a spirit convention after dark, to folks trying to "cleanse" their luck at the casinos. But trying to nail down a ghost? That's next level. You think the Golden Nugget would let you hammer nails into their pool area to keep the shark spirits from escaping? Not a chance.

Vegas on the wire — the house always has a story.

Keith and the crew always got the real lowdown on stuff like this. Tune in to mornings.live.
