The energy and eerie feeling here is palpable. All these years later and nothing grows, leading me to believe the legends are true. We didn't stay long because of the bad vibes and weird noises heard. Definitely a roadside adventure for only the brave at heart.

The Devil's Tramping Ground consists of a barren circle located in the middle of a rich, mature, North Carolina forest. Legend has it that the circle has been there for centuries. Nothing will grow in the circle -- no one dare spend the night there -- for local folks believe it's the Devil's nightly tramping ground.
