It's not any act of nature that is for sure. Some of these holes are close
to 3-6 feet dep and have dirt surrounding the holes exactly like someone
digging and throwing the dirt around the hole to fill it in later.

Go to the Commander of the district state police post, in person. As a
rule they will take it very seriously.
First make sure groundhogs aren't a possibility. I have seen them take
over the hollow of a grave and shift the bones sometimes over or out.
Also I recovered a slab/tablet type tombstone that had sunk
straight down, with the top more than 10 inches from the surface. This
seems to happen in graves that border the side of a hill or ravine.
I have seen two gravesites in opposite ends of the county where some
idiot dug.
One registered alot of metal on a detector, perhaps that was what
prompted the fool to dig, thinking he would find something valuable.
Neither crime was
solved. I believe they blamed "cult" activity which seemed to be
reaching its peak in the late 80's. In any event both dug on the wrong
side on the tombstone.
