Have you experienced or seen things that you could not explain?

Sounds to me like you disturbed an improvised gravesite where the box was probably the cremated remains of somebody and you took the cross; not a particularly bright thing to do.... Frankly I don't know if you're pulling our leg on this one or didn't do the math on what such a box would be. Also, how do you identify ashes that have been in the water; they'd look like mud, no? Something seems off with this.....
