Devil’s Tramping Ground

Bear Creek, NC

A nearly circular patch of bare earth in the woods has carried a sinister reputation for generations. Folklore claims the Devil walks the circle at night and that objects placed inside may be moved or disturbed. The supernatural story is legend, but the strange clearing itself is a long-running North Carolina curiosity.
