Around 1800, a gypsy caravan came to the new-born town of springfield ,ohio . They were met with
hostile greetings. As usual, the stereotypes of the gypsies being thieves, tramps, and evil people of witchcraft proceeded
the caravan's arrival. The caravan had been traveling for many days, and needed to rest and get supplies. They set up camp
on the outside of the town in the hills . It was near winter, so they had to get medicines and warm clothes and blankets from
the town. The city officials refused to allow the gypsies into their town, saying things like: "Why don't you use your magic
and witchcraft to cure your people?" As the days went by, the gypsys became too weak to move on. Many, if not all, of
the gypsys died . They were buried, up until recently, in unmarked graves. As the years went by, people have reported
strange behavior in the old gypsy camp, now known as the Gypsy Graveyard. People said that they have seen mysterious fireballs
chase all non-gypsies out of the area. They have heard ghostly warnings and laughter throughout the area. Perhaps the most
common of the happenings is the "Blood " that drips like dew from the grass and is only attracted to non-gypsies. Now we are
opening the camp to you so you can see for your selves...
