And for good reason- some wierd, funky stuff is attributed to stones and bones.

Just as an example, the grave of Timur the Lame supposedly had a curse placed on it, which declared that any man who discovered his frave would bring his country to ruin; that a terrible new horde would be unleashed on his homeland.

Soviet archaeologists finally discovered it in 1941- on the day before Operation Barbarossa was launched. Just a little spooky.
