Near Siler City ....... about 10 to 11 miles South.....
Is a cursed circle..... where the Devil himself is said to walk.....
"The Devil's Tramping Ground"......
He is even said to stop and sit upon this stump.....
in this soil of the circle ... Nothing will grow ... Duke University was even "baffled" at their soil testings....
This is the 40 foot circle that so many fear and dread..... located in a sparely populated area.....
....even the animals avoid this circle.....
Been there! Its in Bennett, The place is covered in trash.
ReplyDeleteThoughtless, teens and Young "partiers" ... and their Trash that they leave behind....
ReplyDeletePeople (with the exception of older residents of the area), No long "fear" this place....
... We are rather well versed in "the Black arts and Ancient Demonology"....
Maybe we could summon back a bit more "activity" to this old spot...???
That entire area has it own "Legends and Lore".... Norwood , New London, and areas surrounding the Uwarries...
ReplyDeleteWe heard many of these tales as a young child... My Grandmother would tell us of many of the Tales of that area where she grew up.... My Grandfather would never talk about them....
And Grandma told us why.... they were rather young at the time and encountered the ghostly lady on the RR tracks... They were ready to flee, but my "stubborn" grandfather refused to believe in ghosts... so he walked down the tracks to her... she was still facing away from them... she made no response to him as he yelled at her...
he went to grab her shoulder and his hand passed through her form...
she apparently turned to face him... ( he blocked the others from seeing her very well ... when he screamed they all fled.... ) Ever after that , he would no longer walk the tracks ... but , take a much longer route instead....
I always loved the virtual Devil's Tramping Ground at this website:

That one we have seen before (but almost forgotten) with its "simple" Graphics...
DeleteSadly , as Brother Midnight said ... the area is mostly Trashed by now....
When you checked out our local creek you did not go across Hwy #205... there a very old set of graves are upon a small "raise" (Reminds us a bit of the graveyard in the first "Pumpkinhead" movie.... and the story of the black girl's death, is only one tale... the other is a darker tale of a group of local families carrying out (their form of "justice" ) vengeance upon three young black men ... all three were beheaded...
ReplyDeleteThat tale is little known,... for the "well-to-do" families would Not want others to know of their deed...
.... A young female member of one of the prominent families was caught in (some sexual act ) with three young black men... so as not to bring "shame" upon her family.... it was said to be "rape".... Thus the "justice" carried out upon them...
