Skeletons in the movie Poltergeist

In "Poltergeist II", they did discover that some of the skeletons in the cave were real; after strange things kept happening on the cave set, Will Sampson informed them that it was because of these skeletons. People in the props department admitted they had supplemented with the real thing and removed them. They were given respectful burial, and Sampson, who was a shaman for his people, performed a ceremony at the site~not an exorcism as some claim! I know because I watched a lengthy interview with Sampson, Craig T. Nelson and others connected to the film.

Where would the props team get real skeletons? I think that's the most bizarre part of this whole thing

There are medical school supply companies that sell real and fake skeletons.

Those movies were cursed. The older DD in the movie was killed by her boyfriend and Carol Ann died of pneumonia suddenly. I think they were cursed

Yup that's what I was talking about in another post.
Could have been from a medical place that sells bones.

Oh wow, I never knew they used some real skeletons in Poltergeist. That's quite disturbing. I'm glad to hear that they decided to give those poor souls a burial afterwards. That's the least the producers should do in my opinion.
