In the late 80’s I lived on Eldorado St. in Gardnerville NV. I was 16 yrs. old and admired the beautiful unobstructed view of Jobs Peak from my second story balcony. My family and I visited Bodie ; which is where I decided to take a few old nails home with me not paying any regards to the posted “bad luck” warnings. Almost Immediately returning home bad things were happening around me. I took the old rusty nails and thru them out into the open field in which my beautiful view became a 3 story cement wall where scolaris and other businesses thrived
then faultered. I believe that property will forever be tainted .
