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 think the perfect circle is explained as a highly radioactive area, perhaps background radon or something.
Maybe sand?
I am sure it has some natural explanation, because nothing happens without reason. Usually a simple (& overlooked one) at that!
Anyone had it checked for Radon levels?

You guys are idiots. I have been there, me and my buddies camped out there for the entire night. Nothing really happened until we went to sleep. It had a very creepy air to it, but whenever we went inside the tent and went to sleep it just became scary. We heard footsteps and crackling around us. We even saw shadows and leaves swirling with no wind. It became freezing, when it was burning up minutes before. This place is real, and honestly, it’s a good *** time.

I live an hour away from the DTG and it isn’t a perfect circle, and there is grass and weeds growing all through the path most of the year. This legend is silly and the posts about anything abnormal are from pathetic people letting their minds play tricks on them.

I have spent three nights there. It is kinda creepy when you get there and there is a fire burning in the middle of the circle. I slept in the circle in my sleeping bag and no tent. I was still there in the morning. I put toilet paper in the circle and it stayed put. There was some very freaky candles with faces on them in the circle and all kind of crazy bones. I actually rigged something up to maybe scare the next visitors. If I lived on that road I could have some fun!

I live about 3 miles from devils tramping ground. My brother rode fourwheelers in the flatwoods one night (a place near the tramping ground) and he spent the night there in a tent and the next morning his tent and his friends tent and the fourwheelers were moved outside of the circle!

I have been there as a paranormal investigator, and as a creepy odd place in the middle of the woods, I will agree. However, the ring can be very easily explained. The original owners of the land had a silo that held SALT. That being Fact, that explains 1 thing and dispels another. First, the ground is so saturated with salt that nothing will grow there, that explains the nice round circle were nothing will grow. Second, anyone in the paranormal research field should know that salt is also a spiritual wall. In every spiritual belief salt is used to block spirits form crossing over or protect ones self from spirits, good or bad.
It is a great story and cool place to go camping, but that is all it is…

I agree with Ann. On the basis that this same exact story is in almost every state. With actual circles as well. Its nothing paranormal. Just odd. Nothing happens at these places either.

hey guys, i was there earlier today. i found some campers tried to stay from hallows eve to Halloween but left in a hurry during the night and left their partially burnt tent.
when i stepped in to the circle i immediately felt intense physical pain and discomfort. my body also started shaking. i have an highly developed gift of discernment, which i use to find and exorcise demons. basically i feel spiritual things near by. actually, i found the grounds by feeling it while driving in my car. other ppl who go may feel these things as well. some ppl feel depression, discomfort, a strange fear, strange pains, fatigue, demonic nightmares, or negative thoughts/impressions. ppl who are oppressed or possessed will have a number of the symptoms. you can see similar things in the bible when ppl encounter angles. they’re filled with fear, trembling, etc.
(if you exude these symptoms. you’re probably just oppressed and it wont have enough authority to manifest through you. find some Christians to pray over you and renounce the sins that its exploiting. these sins give it authority to stay. command it not to not manifest and leave. if it’s stubborn “pray and fast”. ask the Lord to come and pull it out of you.)
I’ve seen silhouettes of men made of shadows and glowing eyes from the direction I’ve felt things, herd audible voices, and been psychically attacked. similar things with the angels and God.
what is this place? there are portals or gateways between heaven and earth. that’s how angels get here. there are also demonic portals from hell to earth. so thus, where ever there’s a portal there’s more activity. the devils tramping ground is the larges demonic portal in the country. that’s why it’s a circle. that’s why things are removed that cover it. it’s like a highway exit to earth.
don’t get your Christian friends together and pray against it. you’ll just piss them off. don’t “put the Lord to the test” to save you. If the Lord wants to use you against it, He will let you know.
don’t mess with this place, you will regret it.

I have heard this story since I was in the 3rd grade when our librarian would tell the story of the devils tramping ground. I havent visited yet but am very curious to know if its the real story.
