Description	Tracie Spencer's transcribed account of gypsies. According to Spencer, a young girl fell in love with a gypsy boy. Her father forbid her to see the boy. One day, the village caught fire and the girl was killed. Before she died, she put a curse on the steps leading to her house. The Girl Scout camp is near this place. Girl Scouts jump off of the steps. If you are a good Girl Scout nothing happens, but if you are a bad Girl Scout you will disappear.
