Something NOT to do for Halloween

There's no lack of haunted houses in the area if you feel like driving, but i'm sure that none of them are as good as the ones in Charlotte.

Anyway, there's this place out near Siler City called Devil's Tramping Ground. I went with some friends 2 summers ago, since we were all bored and it seemed like a good idea. It would have been an even better idea to look up the place on the internets bc the pictures prove to be less than bone chilling. So we piled in the car, drove out there, and crept down scary country roads looking for the place. We finally found it, even though there was no marker like the directions said there would be.

We saw a fire through the trees, and we were a bit freaked out because we weren't expecting anyone else to be out there on a weekday night. Someone made a crack about wanting to avoid any Deliverance-type activity that could be going on in the woods. Justin went to scope it out, and gave us the OK.

Turns out it was just a handful of teenagers, wearing Megadeath T-shirts and smoking weed. The creepy circle of land that was scorched by Lucifer himself was just a ratty pattern of gravel and dead grass.

Terrifying indeed.
