WARNING! Don't Take Our Rocks! 'THE CURSE OF GETTYSBURG!'

Occasionally, the Gettysburg National Military Park will receive a package that contains a rock or other item that was removed by a tourist to the Battlefield. Why? Because of 'The Curse.'

From the blog of the Gettysburg National Military Park:

The packages seem totally innocuous. Not very large. Slightly heavier than you might expect for their size. Addressed to Gettysburg National Military Park, but not to a specific department or person. Often without a return address. Not terribly unusual at all.

Except for the curse.

The boxes in question hold rocks. Rocks that were previously removed from the park, and are now being returned. In almost every case, they also contain a letter, such as the one below, received in May of this year:

It is important to remember that removing rocks from the park is a violation of Chapter 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Section 2.1(a)(1)(iv) prohibits “Possessing, destroying, injuring, defacing, removing, digging or disturbing from its natural state a mineral resource or cave formation or the parts thereof.” If these individuals had been caught in the act, they would have been cited and fined $100, plus a $30 processing fee. All in all, they may have preferred that.

Welcome to Phantoms & Monsters 'Personal Reports' - cryptid & unexplained accounts directly from the archives of Phantoms & Monsters, and the Phantoms & Monster Fortean Research team. Narrated by Lon Strickler. Join us in the chat, discuss, and ask me questions about the accounts.

Featured in this edition:

My years as a Fortean researcher & investigator, for the most part, have been focused on creatures that most people would say belong on the pages of Grimm's Fairy Tales, Aesop's Fables, or maybe in animated films & cartoons. Be it the 'Big, Bad Wolf,' the 'Wolfman.' or even 'Wile E. Coyote.' There are also tales of dog-headed men, or ancient cynocephaly, who are unique to myth and legend.

But, in more recent times, there are also accounts of human-like cryptid canines that are said to live and prosper among us. They are seen in many forms, both biped or quadruped. But the overwhelming question is, "What are they, and why do they exist?"

So sit back, open your minds, and try to visualize what I'm about to describe to you. I will present the reports and incidents in detail and answer all questions from the chat room.
