The Devil’s Tramping Ground is a mysterious circular patch of barren ground located in a remote area of rural Chatham County, North Carolina. The site has been the source of local lore and legend for generations, with some saying that it is cursed, and others believing it to be a place of spiritual power. Although the exact origin of the site is unknown, it has been linked to Native American mythology and has been the subject of many ghost stories and supernatural tales, according to online sources.

The Devil’s Stomping Ground (as it is also known), we are informed, is essentially a large, barren circle, approximately 40 feet in diameter, with no vegetation or signs of habitation. It is located in a remote area of the county, near the small town of Bear Creek. The site is situated on a flat, sandy plain, surrounded by thick pine forests and marshlands. For many years, the area has been a source of local folklore and superstition. The origins of the Devil‘s Tramping Ground are unknown, and there are many theories as to why the site exists. One popular belief: that it’s a “cursed“ place, and entering it will bring bad luck. Other theories suggest that it is a spiritual site, where Native American rituals and ceremonies were performed.

The most widely accepted belief is that the Devil‘s Tramping Ground is a place where the devil himself tramples, and that any objects placed in the circle will be moved or destroyed overnight. It is said that the devil visits the site every night and tramps around in a circle, leaving no trace of his presence.

Local folklore also states that the Devil‘s Tramping Ground is a place of great power, where wishes can be granted and magic can be performed. It is said that if one spends the night in the circle, they will be granted whatever they wish for. The Devil‘s Tramping Ground has been the subject of many local ghost stories and supernatural tales. People have reported seeing strange lights in the sky above the site, and hearing strange noises coming from within the circle. Others have reported seeing strange animals and other creatures in the area.

In recent years, the Devil‘s Tramping Ground has become a popular tourist attraction. Visitors come to the site to explore the mysterious circle and experience the local folklore. Despite its mysterious origins, the site has become a popular destination for those seeking an adventure and a bit of the unknown — and who don’t appreciate the spiritual danger of such curiosity.

Curiosity can indeed kill the cat. At the same time, lack of awareness causes one to wander blithely and blindly through life, oblivious to traps and pitfalls. The Holy Spirit — not any human — is Who must guide us. He must always be invoked. He must be beseeched. He as God must be worshipped. When He is around us, He is a shield of impenetrable protection. Prayer. Sacrifice. During Lent, His Power is especially close.
