But you go first…I’m too scared.

I have been out to the tramping ground, on halloween, when all of the stuff is supose to happen. Not everything is true. You can see the Devil, but he looks over your shoulder like he is waiting for something. I put a radio in the middle of the circle and it got turned down where you could not hear it unless you put your ear up to it. But, it never got moved an inch. The moon changes to bright red too right before midnight.

The Tramping Ground is a scary place. You can feel it when you step on to that path just off the road, there’s something paranormal about it. I just wish there were a way to find out when it all began. It’s a shame is a party spot for teenagers nowadays…I can only hope someday they’ll find themselves surprised

This is bull. I’m sorry yall, but I live close to it, and I’m a sensitive, in a paranormal research group. Me and another senstive spent the entire night in the middle of the circle, right outside the fire pit, and not once experienced anything slightly paranormal. We even took the the sign out in front of it, and hung it over our front door. ^_^ There’s nothing out there, you’re just paranoid.

Ive never been there but one of my friends has she was supposibly camping out there with her X boyfriend and they had heared of the story so they but up there tent in the circle and stuck a knife in the ground and the next morning the knife was inside the tent with them and the tent was exactly 1 foot away from the circle

wow, i dont think i have ever heard of anything so strange… but there has to be some truth to it Megan. Explain how no grass grows there and how you are the only one who says there is nothing strange there

What i believe is that i dont think that the devil has any thing to do with the tramping ground because the devil is prisoned is hell but i do believe that a demon or some sort of other presence is doing this. I dont live to far from it so i might go check it out for myself…

Casey, I had friends who went and they slept in sleeping bags in the circle and woke up the next morning………………..you guessed it right where they started in the circle.

Megan is not the only one who says there is nothing there. My understanding is the reason nothing grows, well almost nothing. The whole ‘nothing grows there’ is a myth in itself. Anyway, the reason almost nothing grows there has to do with the soil being too rich or not rich enough in certain minerals. I had bare spot in my back yard (roughly 4′ x 2′ not a perfect rectangle mind you this is just the approximate size) where I could not get any grass to grow for almost four years, I added some topsoil and voila! grass. And I don’t think the devil or demons had anything to do with it. Unless adding topsoil banishes them………..hmmm a new market for topsoil or Demon Be Gone. hee

Oh and one more thing…There is also a version of this story that puts the location in Pittsboro, NC.

i think this is stupid…and i do belive in the paranormal but this sounds stupid

This sounds wierd and creepy but some of it can be real. Its a possablitiy of people playing jokes or it could be real. No telling.

hmm, i agree with kat. just one thing i want to say in addition to this, no point in believing in the supernatural and paranormal. why? because it is fact. simple as that. the world is full of mysteries.
besides, if a semi sentient and/or sentient force is controlling any events at this location, maybe it can control when and when not to do things unnatural. think about it. just cause you experience nothing, somebody else just might.

It could be someone just playing a stupid prank on people. A sensitive? Yeah, right.

i agree with all the people but it can be true

well how do you explain the fact of the 40 foot perfect circle huh?

It’s called “The Devils Tramping Ground” beacause long ago when it was first discovered no one could think of an explination therefor the devil must have done it. There have been researchers come and go and no one can explain why it hasn’t had any growth for so long nor can they explain why it’s a perfect circle. I have not visited the spot but plan to soon as I’m sensitive to energy disturbances.

how do you know all about this you might be a ghost or something or even be a part of the devil jk but yeah I was kidding the whole time yoooou guys fell for all that crapp so haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

that is not true !!!!!

Fell for it? For God’s sake it’s an actual place, wether you believe or not! Anyway I don’t think it’s really the Devil, maybe a demon. Why in the world would the Devil waste time pacing on Earth when he could be creating chaos?

The Devil’s Tramping Ground
In a wooded area in western Chatham County, ten miles east of Siler City, is a well-worn path that forms a ring forty feet in diameter. The path itself is a foot wide. The center of the circle and the ground outside the path are lush with grass and other plant life, but nothing grows in the foot-wide track. At sunset, when rocks or similar heavy objects are placed in the pathway, they are found the next morning to have been brushed aside. In fall and winter, when rabbit hunters roam the surrounding countryside, their dogs perform joyously until the chase nears the barren circle. Then the dogs tuck their tail between their legs and slink away. They will not go near the spot.

Soon after the first settlers came to Chatham County, they discovered the strange site, which soon became known as the Devil’s Tramping Ground. This was before 1800.

Though no one ever saw him stalking there, it was believed to be the haunt of the Foul Fiend, who came at night to tramp around and around and around in a circle, his head lowered, his expression intense. It was during these hours that Satan planned his evil schemes to undo mankind. At the first light of morning he was gone, winging his way like a bat across the world to carry out his nefarious purposes. Yet so scorching had been his footprints on the ground of his circular pathway that the soil became infertile, and the nocturnal retreat of the hellish Prince of Darkness was shunned and avoided.
