Pure vanity for the very best of reasons (less about that later).
What repels gypsies?
What is their cross, their holy water, their sunlight?
I have a friend who needs to ward one off.
That group may be from Lebanon and have patriarch live in Garland. I think the guy went by Mitchell Miller and had a son ho went by the name of Bobby Mitchell. May still have a file on him somewhere. If its the same group.
And most of them live in Murphy Village SC and have either Murphy or Riley as a last name. They spread out from there all over the country to do scam jobs like repaving driveways and roofing jobs.
They’ve been around forever.
They used to come to Huntington Ave in Boston back in the 50s and then they were in the western suburbs during the 80s and 90s.(Those were my working years)
Always mailed in cash to pay the utility bill.

Is that the settlement near Augusta, Georgia? I tried to look it up on a map but did not see it.
Howling dogs are supposed to be bad from a Roma point of view (so no doubt there is something to be had on YouTube). A dead crow in the street is supposed to be so bad from the point of view of Roma superstition that they will turn around and leave. That was the result of a Google search after remembering an old lady once telling me that there were superstitions which could be used to make them buzz off.
Good luck!
He tells them he will pray for them.
The real type tend to get uneasy.
Oh man, that was fUNNY..!!!!!
ahahhahah..!
“So you just catapult a bunch of dead crows every ten minutes and hoot.”
That sounds like a workable method. I just hope we get the rest of the story.
I don’t have permission to share it. Should that change...
“I dont have permission to share it. Should that change..”
Oh, bummer dude! But I understand. Seriously hope your friend is safe and gets rid of them. I might try the dead crows sprinkled around if they are coming to a home or business.
One in the driveway should suffice, doncha think?
Yes?
Hey, if one dead crow is good 50 must be better! Wear one around your neck and show what a crazy bastard you are. :)
Seems like dead crows, BIG dogs, and the old evil eye (while throwing the horns) scare them the most. Also vampires but I don’t know how to get a vampire.
Looking this stuff up (because my house will clean itself) I think my Italian ancestors must be part gypsy - so many things Grandma did are exactly as describes in gypsy culture.
*** Even the 6 year old roma kids will pick your pocket. There training to be criminals starts at birth. ***
I was in Rome, near the Colosseum, and some gypsy kids swarmed a Japanese tourist to steal his camera. The group of Japanese tourists he was with were all busy taking pictures of the incident. Those kids, the oldest was probably eight, were vicious.
