While I'm not a resident of the Siler City area, I am somewhat familiar with local folklore in the area. I visit the town once or twice a year and have spent many hours driving around the outskirts and rural roads. I've heard of Devil's Stomping Ground but never knew of the significance of the name or history of the site. I'll make a point to visit and explore on my next visit in the spring.

I can't believe this!! In the other article of the Biltmore Estates, I told that I was adopted. Guess what. I was adopted in Siler City NC. My Biological Mother and Husband still lives there. My Godfather also lives there. My Godmother and a Local Doctor arrranged for the hidden information for the sake of the Biological mother and My adopted Father is my real Dad. I found out this information while I was searching for my real Mother for Medical Records. I did talk with her and she asked me how in the world did I find her? We talked for about an hour and it was no question that she is my Mother. She wanted me not to tell her husband of now. I have never seen her but, I have had people in the Law INforcement and others to tell me that she is a small boned woman that has Dark skin and Black Hair. I know that I have Indian in me. My attorney said that I could find out. I was born in Raleigh for unwed single MOthers. My new parents got me at 3 days old and they have me listed in the County that I was raised in. My Real Daddy's Family always told my I was one of them and I was special. We left Siler City for good when I was 5 years ago. The ironic thing is that before my Real Dad Died. He took me to this attorney's office and the Attorney summons a woman with a large thick file that had dust all over it and Made me sneeze. He gave me a paper that gave me a start, but all were deadlines. So, I went to the Sheriff's Department and a few other and I got the address and phone number for my Biological Mother. This is a secret she must want to take to her Grave. I am and will proceed to investigate further. I hired a Attorney first and he came to a Dead end as well. Come to find out the Birth Certificate was never filed in my Birth Mothers Name, but kept in his office all those years. (wonder why?). I encourage all people that are adoped to find out where they came from. It is so Embarassing to tell Doctors: I don't know I am adopted. We have not been given our proper rights as Human Beings that were not able to speak for ourselves. Maybe I am a Waxhaw Native American. I will find out. I have a cousin that Married a man in Siler City and will contact her to help.

Jan K D.........I wish you had read your story over before submitting. You have me so lost in what you wrote; your real father? your real mother? I would have empathy for you had you been more clear in relating. Sorry

I moved to western NC in the 6th grade and my English teacher told me about the Devil's Stomping Ground, he said it's a circle in the middle of the woods where nothing grows in or around the circle and you can go up there and smooth the dirt inside the circle and come back the next day it looks like something big stomped the dirt you smoothed, He said it looked like the Devil's footprint.

I don't know if this place is haunted or not, though I would not spend the night there. Having grown up in central NC and always hearing the legend of the Devil's Trampling (or "Stomping") Ground, each of my day time visits wee marked with nervousness about actually seeing the place I had heard of as a child. My second visit was especially spooky because lying on the side of the road, next to the patch leading into the woods and the circle, was a large Bible with the wind blowing the pages past, one by one.

Okay, Im a little scared and usually when i hear about stuff like this i'm not that scared. My friend said she went and will never go again. Shes said she heard footsteps and saw red eyes and even heard moans... that is just terrifying

I'm originally from Hillsborough, NC. Me and three others from High School (back in the mid 70s) camped in the middle of the Devils Tramping Ground. Unfortunately it was an uneventful night. I read on another Internet hit that the ground may fall to suburban development. (???)

Actully the story behind the devil stomping ground is quite sad....... I learnd in school at roaring river in elementry school, its a small town in between wilkes county and yilkin county.The story goes back in the settelment days and during the wars to be free, a man whom i do not remeber the name, was hung in that spot for murders that he did not commint, he cursed the people and swore that his innacents will be proved that if they hang him for something he didnt do then nothing on that ground will grow around the tree he was hung on ever. and so he was hanged and everything died and nothing has grew there since, they say he bargined with the devil to prove his innacents to the town people's. which is the reason why it is called The devil's stomping ground., plus there the story of bugga boo creek, tom douly and anna foster, gravity hill where 5 kids were killed and if u go there and put ur car in nutrual the car will move u will here kids laughing and when u get out of ur car u'll see 10 little hand prints on ur car.the story of the hootin nanny, and the story of the witch of long bottom rd in traphill,and the santanic church, and the kids she murdered. plus many more, including in wilkes county it self. so if ur ever in this area and want a good spooke just go to these places and ave fun but the church on long bottom rd visiters u are warned that u must be cleansed after visting there, for u can take home anything, theres no telling what type of stuff has be risain up from that place. happy huntings!

My cuz and I are planning to go soon,might camp out,anybody wanna go email me.

I went to the Devils stomping ground a month ago. I slept in the circle. I am such a heavy sleeper i didn't get to experience any of the creepy night time events. When i woke up I was out of the circle, my tent was slashed, and today I was diagnosed with an internal demon. Don't go there. It's bad.

@Ronald Burganda - are you serious? i'm going to sleep there soon, please tell me you are joking. if not, please e-mail me at jlblank2@gmail.com and tell me about your night.

Up until I was about 18, I lived about 5 miles from The Devil's Stomping Ground in Bonlee. The area where the Ground is located is called Harper's Crossroads. Anyways, I have been there numerous times as teen, due to the fact that my friends all knew that I am hyper sensitive to paranormal energies and happenings. Withing a half mile of arriving at the location, they would immediately notice that the hairs on my arms and back of my neck were on end, and that goosebumps covered every inch of my body.

When you enter the area where the circle is located you immediately can tell a difference in the air. It is heavier than the atmosphere near the road. Not only that but the air there is completely still, you don't hear birds singing, you see no animals running around, nor hear them in the brush. I have had several experiences while out there, both day time and night time. Both included me walking the circle, and right after a complete 360 degrees was completed I felt a sudden heaviness come over me, and feel like someone was right behind me.

This place is no joke. There is something there, and I hate the fact that so many people go there, litter, dump their garbage and just disrespect the place altogether.

I would really like to check this place out. Can anyone tell me exactly where its located? I found Harpers Crossroads on the map, but I don't know where it is from there. Thanks for any info.

I to would like to know exactly where it is. As my wife and I both are interested in the paranormal and want to visit the site. I live in Raleigh...so I am not to far away. Any help would be appreciated.

Please people stay away from this place. If you are interested in the paranormal, then talk to God. He can answer any question that you may ponder. Thank you Jesus for the sacrifice you endured for me! God is awesome!

I am planning on visiting this location, however some pictures of a visit to this place makes it seem like private property... I'd like to go without coming back with a trespassing charge.

My uncle has told me of the Devil's Stomping Grounds and that some hikers had camped there once but all were found the next day dead and that you could see the devil's hoof prints in the dirt circle.
