Description: |
Bryan Delphs transcribed interview of Mike Markley about gypsies. According to Markley, there is a gypsy king buried in Albright Cemetery in Kokomo, Indiana. Before he died, he promised his wife that he would come back on the anniversary of his death. His wife would take food to his grave. The rumor of this man saying he would return from the grave reached a high school and the students went to wait for him. Nothing happened that night other than the police had to tell a lot of teenagers to leave. |
