At the end of Devil's Stomping Grounds Rd., Siler City, North Carolina

Local legend states that a barren circular path, fifteen feet across, is where the devil paces. There he plots new terrors to bring onto mankind.

Others believe that vengeful spirits are buried underneath the patch of unfertile soil. One theory states that Waxhaw Native Americans were slaughtered and buried here hundreds of years ago. Their restless spirits now kill anything that spends too much time on their grave.

It's also believed that during the 1970's and 80's a small cult of devil worshippers would use this area to sacrifice animals in unholy rituals.

Today, people have witnessed animals avoiding the circle. One visitor’s dog choked itself on its leash to avoid the circle's center. Others that have come across the Devil's Stomping Ground have witnessed small animals dying on the edge of the circle.

People brave enough to visit the circle at night have claimed to see a pair of red eyes manifest themselves in the center. The sound of footsteps can be heard in and around the area.

The Devil's Stomping Ground has become a popular place for teens to test their bravery. One teenager had a frightening experience as he and his friends stood in the circular path. He states that, "It felt like a large hand rose from the ground and grabbed my heart. I fell to my knees, it hurt so bad...I couldn't move."

It wasn't until the boy apologized to the spirit for trespassing that he was finally released.
