Ever Buried Someone in Your Backyard?

Are you having trouble selling your home in today's down market? Do you enjoy new fads? Do you believe in good luck charms? One desperate home-seller in Brooklyn, NY sought the help of St. Joseph; the Catholic saint long believed to help with home related matters.

According to lore now spreading on the internet burying St. Jospeh in the yard of a home for sale promises a prompt bid.

After she and her husband held five open houses, even baking cookies for one of them, she ordered a St. Joseph “real estate kit” online and buried the three-inch white statue in her yard.
These statues are flying off the shelves and website pages as skeptics and non-Catholics seek some sort of leg-up in these troubled times.

You can read the entire article on the RealEstateJournal website.

Update: Her house has sold! Congrats to her and apparently burying St. Joseph in her yard helped.
