In 1849, Dan Tayman was digging in the family garden when he found a beautiful gold nugget.  It was the start of the gold mine that still exists today. While the gold has long since disappeared, the dark history of the mine curse still exists. Greed caused the workers to stay, looking for a new vein of gold long after the mine had stopped operating.  They were protective, thinking they would get rich, and they did not trust anyone who came close to the mine.  Some even refused to leave the mine.

Strange things started happening.  Miners who knew the mine swore the tunnels  changed directions, or new ones appeared that had never been there before.  The old miners heard voices and saw things that they never talked about except with each other.  They said that some of the miners who allegedly left were not gone but were still in the mine, lost and confused.

Some say the miners are still there today, and swear they see them...or what appears to be them.  Some people  who enter the mine never come out...or if they do, you would say that they were a little bit crazy.
