Devils Tramping Ground
In these woods, there is a perfect circle in which no grass grows. Many have placed large stones inside the circle, only to find them gone the next day. It is said that at night the devil walks around the circle and thus moves everything outside the circle. In one report, a scout set up a tent in the middle of the circle and the next morning found the tent outside of it.

I have a similar place in my back yard where nothing will grow. When we were building our house, a huge whirlwind came up the street and passed between our house and the one being built next to us. The whirlwind got in a small fire that the workers were using to burn scrap wood. When it sucked the fire up into the vortex, it looked awesome! Sparks and smoke were circling around in it and made it look surreal. It then went into my soon to be back yard and stopped right at the peak of the hill. It spun in this one place for a good 5 minutes before it suddenly collapsed. This was 13 years ago and to this day, no grass or anything else will grow there. I don’t know if it was already a barron spot before the whirlwind since i never went back there before this happened. Now, I can walk into the circle with dowsing rods and they will cross directly in the middle of it, pointing East/West. After researching other things similar to this, I have found that these places are where “Ley” or energy lines cross beneath the earth’s surface. That’s why animals are reluctant to go into them. They emit a very strong energy field that most animals are afraid of, except cats. They are attracted to them. I also have found where it is now believed that stone-age Europeans came to North America during the ice age by traveling across the frozen north Atlantic, which used to freeze solid all the way down below New York, and also used these energy centers to build monuments similar to Stonehenge and New Grange. Artifacts have been dug up at these sites, that are scattered along the eastern seaboard, and date to over 16,000 years ago. These monuments all point to the solar solstices and the equinoxes, just like the Euro-monunents do. The native Americans also new of them and their Shaman’s used them as energy points to help contact the spirits of these ancient ones that came before them.
I have no beleif in such things as devils and hell. No one did until Dante’s book, The Divine Comedy, was written and he described, from his imagination, the different layers of hell. The story of Lucifer is just that, a story, written to try and keep people under control using fear and scare tactics, as it is still done today. Why would God make man, his most precious creation, and then sick a rabid animal such as satan upon him? Does that make any sense? Would you put your children in a room full of hungry wolves and tell them to stand still forever and the wolves wont eat you? So when you go to the circle, stand in it and know that many before you have stood in it also, gathering the sacred energy from the earth. There’s nothing evil there, just idiotic people who have been led to believe everything they can’t explain is of the “devil.” What a crock of pooh!

It has been over 20 years since I visited this area. I was with my best friend and one of my younger sister’s. We stopped and asked for direction’s since we couldn’t find ANY street sign’s to locate it. We followed a young man in his car and had to park on the side of the road and walk down a path through the wood’s to get there. A perfect circle without grass was there but in the center there were piece’s of burned wood and log’s from a bon fire. The devil must feel “at home” with the heat and flame’s from the bon fire’s since he didn’t bother moving it out of “his” circle.

Me and a few friends of mine went here a long time ago and went all over the woods looking for this circle. We pulled off the road into the gravel and went down the little beaten path that crosses the creek but on the other side was a large overgrown opening in the woods with left overs from a campfire in the middle. I’m not sure if this was the tramping ground or not but it wasnt a cleared circle where nothing grows. We searched throught the woods with flashlights for most of the night and finally decided to go back to the gas station up the road and hang out till sun up to try and find it in the daylight. I think we crossed a few property lines to and we stirred up a bunch of hound dogs but we never found what everyone describes. Maybe it doesnt exixst anymore or maybe I had my expectations set to high I dont know but if anyone knows where I went wrong then please help steer me right.

Whether you believe in this story or not, I’ve got to tell it.
One night a few friends and I went out to the Devils Tramping Ground, as we don’t live that far from it and we’d heard all these rumors about it, we stayed there until about 1am with nothing unusual going on, walking back to the car though we heard these extremely frightening sounds, like a howl but unlike any howl we had ever heard, not a dog or a wolf, we shrugged it off to some unknown animal and got in the car to leave, as we were going down the path the car got stuck so we sent 2 people for help, they did not return within an hour or two so my bf and I got out and starting walking to were we thought we could find help, we found our friends on their way back saying that they couldn’t find anyone so we would have to push the car to get it unstuck, when we got back to the car the hood was covered in what looked like blood and the sides had dents shaped like hooves.

Haleigh, about what u said. Maybe some teenagers will try to have sex on the circle and then Satan will appear and kill them just like in a horror movie. What have horror movies taught us? If you’re near a place that’s haunted or where a killer lurks, DO NOT HAVE SEX! YOU WILL BE MURDERED!!!

So far my husband and I have only been out there twice, matter of fact, we went today. My husband gathered limbs and tied them in the shape of a cross. We threw a bunch of stuff into the circle, however, you can tell lots of people party out there because there was tons of beer cans, paper plates, and etc. I am not much of a believer in paranormal activity because of my religious beliefs. There IS a heaven and hell. God and the devil DO exist. I am actually from the surrounding area and never heard of this until I read about it in a book and my husband is really into UFO’s and paranormal. I have to see things like this to believe it.
When we went out there, we took our dog and she constantly barked when we came upon this so called “circle”. Also, there was this putrid smell that burned your nostrils, bones everywhere at the beginning of the path that led to the circle. Bones of a dog and the horrible smell that we smelled was that I came across a dead animal on our way out. We don’t know what kind of animal it was, but it hadn’t been dead but maybe for a couple days. We think it was a cow because that is pretty much all is around there. We realized that maybe our dog knew something was wrong because animals can sense these kind of things. We took pictures, but the strange thing was that my husband took his pictures outside of the circle and nothing really showed up in them, however, I took a couple pictures outside of the circle except one. The one that I took inside the circle had this orange-reddish light going across the screen. I find this very strange. We are going back sometime tomorrow to see if any of the stuff has been moved from the circle, who knows what we will find?? I should’ve brought a bible and turned it to Revelations, so that if this IS the devil, he will see his destiny. lol. I’ll send an update soon.
