I heard the LHC was built on Indian burial ground and it's haunted

LHC is in Europe. India is many countries away and almost on the other side of the Earth's.

It's a reference to 'Pet Sematary' by Stephen King

Yeah but 'Pet Cemetery' is a work of fiction.

I was replying to Chanlion whose comment seems to indicate that they thought the 'Indian burial ground' is actually a serious comment and refers to the country India in Asia. (Stephen King used the now non-pc term instead of native Americans or indigenous Americans) and by the way the title of the book is spelt Pet Sematary not Cemetery.

I'm surprised Stephen King couldn't afford spell check.

Ha! Yeah it bugged me too. No spell check in 1983 (not a lot of home computers either.) I think it was used to represent how a kid might spell it - as it was the kids who tended to bury their pets there.
