The following query is forwarded with permission from Bullamanka-Pinheads,
a historic preservation listserv ("PINheads" refers to members of the
Preservation Industry Network). Most of the people on the listserv do
work on historic buildings, as contractors, architects, stonemasons, etc.

OK all you science oriented Pinheads, heads up. Here is a serious
question for everyone. First a brief bit of background. A friend
is working on a burial vault. The metal lined coffins that were
in the vault were in a haphazard stacked arrangement. During the
process of working on the vault, the coffins were placed in an
orderly formation. On a return visit, two years later, the
coffins were again found in a haphazard arrangement. The vault
had not been opened in between the two visits. The location of
the vault can experience severe summer thunderstorms. The though
is that the electrical storms are charging the coffins and
causing them to move around like magnets. Question: Has anyone
heard of something like this or have any other explanations?
