I’m reading Pet Semetary at the moment and was curious as to when the superstition around Native American burial grounds became a thing? How far back does it go? Was Pet Semetary instrumental in thrusting it into popular culture and American folk lore?
u/sunagainstgold and u/AncientHistory have a couple of very interesting answers to When and how did "Indian burial ground"? become a horror trope? Were Native American burial sites and rituals in any way scary and mysterious to the colonists or is this a cliché born in 70s/80s, with Stephen King helping to spread it? that are worth checking out!
