"I've come to suck your blood." We've heard it ringing through crowds at Halloween parties and in old Dracula movies, but you don't have to travel to Transylvania for authentic vampire stories. Just head north to the Town of Griswold. In October, 1991, three young boys jumped off the edge of a gravel pit and slid down its slope. Suddenly, they found themselves in the midst of unwelcomed company. Two human skulls lay at their feet, freed by the boys' activity. Field work soon uncovered human remains and traces of 27 graves, whom research identified as members of the Walton family, buried there from the late 1700s into the early 1800s. Evidence of tuberculosis was found in the remains; a disease whose symptoms were associated with vampires. Long after the deaths, a grave had been disturbed and the bones arranged in a most unusual way. The femurs had been set in a cross atop the bone heap and the skull was rotated to face west. This configuration of the bones was thought to calm the spirits and release the soul from a life of vampirism. Today, the only stories you will hear about vampires are those made up around a campfire at one of Griswold's three popular campgrounds.
