Devil’s Tramping Ground is located in a wooded area of Chatham County in North Carolina. It is a forty foot in diameter circle. It is said that any object that is placed in the circle will mysteriously disappear or move outside of the circle. No vegetation will grow inside the circle. This bizarre phenomenon was first discovered in the 1800′s and it is believed by many that Satan paces around this circle. Boy Scout troops have tried camping on it and wake up in their tents a few miles away. Some guys tried to stay up all night in a tent on the spot and later reported that a soft, soothing melodic voice lulled them to sleep and they too woke up a few miles away. Along with countless other reports, this spot was what intrigued Benny the most. It was the place Benny wanted to visit the greatest. Being so close to Halloween, it gave Benny the urge to do it. He had some days off work and thought it was the perfect opportunity to do something to cross it off his bucket list. Located in Bear Creek, NC, it wasn't too far from Hartsville. A simple weekend trip would be enough to gather information on the area and see if the rumors were true. He packed up his camping gear and headed off, he debated on asking someone to tag along--but who would say yes? Getting there, the sun was beginning to set. He got a late start and by the time he set up his tent and started a fire, the sun was nearly gone. Now he would wait. Watch the fire, eat some snacks, and just enjoy nature. The nice chill in the air-kissing his cheek in delight, the crackling fire placing a warm blanket over him. It was a perfect, clear night with the full moon shining down to give it a beautiful ambiance. Time passed, he didn't know how quickly, but before he knew it he could hear footsteps approach. A sharp inhale, crystal blue optics scanned the area, toward the origin of the noise. His pulse quickened as his heartbeat pounded hard against his chest. "Hello?" He dared to call out to the unknown, unsure if it were an animal, a person, or something else.
