THE BLOOD BATS OF GANTZ PARK (Part 1): A Grove City Halloween Story| #MicroTerrors

On Halloween night in Grove City, Ohio, Lucy Buxton's dad drives her and Shawn Dyer to Gantz Park with two flashlights and a thirty-minute limit, so they can look for the Blood Bats, which legend says come out only on this one night of the year and trace back to Archibald Rhysand, a Union soldier who was rumored to eat bats on the battlefield. Two teenage boys got to the park first that night, with a pair of pumpkins and a handful of firecrackers, and their car is still sitting in the lot.
