What about Vikings? Let's say Dudeson the Fox gets pissed at Thor Goldhorder who's richer and stronger than he is, but he's also a real jerk, so Dudeson hires a bunch of guys to steal Goldhorder's gold and hide it from him. No big deal, they dig a hole and bury the treasure. But so consuming was Dudeson's rage and hatred for Goldhorder that on the way he kidnaps a Lapp woman (according to the Sagas, they were sorcerers) and threatens her to curse the treasure or die, and she's so stubborn she refuses. In his anger at not being able to complete his revenge, he gets a really bad idea. He beds the woman, kills her, and throws her body in with the treasure, believing that her soul will be so angry and vengeful it would not be able to move from that spot nor allow anyone else to get to Goldhorder's gold. Unfortunately, before Dudeson can get back to tell Goldhorder he's been duped, the boat lands afoul bad weather...and somehow the story gets passed on to the Masons who add their clues and speculations to the site, but never actually attempt to find Goldhorder's gold. But their work is lost to the shifting dirt of the island (because the treasure site is, by this account, over 1,000 years old) and that's when the teenagers found the indention in the sand and start digging.
