The Gaunt killed the miner's companions, but took him as a servent. Jones was told to lure people into the area with the gold that had been used to imprison the Gaunt. He did so, and soon the Gaunt was feeding off the people who arrived and constructed the town of Green Grove. After learning that the townspeople planned to flee the area, the Gaunt killed them all in an orgy of destruction. The horror of the experience broke the being's hold over John and during the day, with the help of four mules, he sealed the entrance to the shaft in which the Gaunt slept with stones, wood, and all his gold. He died during his monumental effort and his bones lay amidst the rubble and gold. The empty town was discovered later and the incident became known as \"The Mystery of Green Grove. \"  \nThe area was undisturbed by anyone until 1992 when the King Movie Company began filming \"The Mystery of Green Grove\" a horror story loosely based on the historical mystery. The basic plot of the movie is that miners intruded on an ancient Native American burial ground and stole the gold within it. The ancient spirits that protected the tomb were released and set about killing off the miners and the rest ofthe town for good measure. The filming went along smoothly until the company suffered financial difficulties and the filming stopped. One of the actors, Dave Parker, wandering about while waiting to leave, came across the shaft and did some digging. He discovered some of the gold and then returned and dug the rest ofit up. He sold it and used the money to fund  \nM. LaBossiere \"Thin Jack\" 2  \nthe film, and the shooting began again, with Parker as the new star. The being, which had dug its way to the surface after the gold was removed, discovered the movie people three days after the shooting had started up. It began killing that night, taking an immigrant worker back to its lair The next night it took a cameraman who had a fight with the director. The third night, it took Dave Parker, who offered to serve it in exchange for his life. He told it about the nearby town and offered to drive it there at night if it would let him live and leave the film site alone. It agreed and Parker has driven it to the city each night, where it takes a victim.  \nGetting the PCs Involved  \nWhile the adventure must be located in area that was part of the historical gold rush, it is up to the Keeper to decide exactly where to place it, based on his/her campaign needs. The PCs will be drawn into the adventure by a letter (or fax) from an old friend. William Gardner, a horror story writer, will write to say that he believes something unnatural is occuring.
