The Devil's Tramping Ground is located 10 miles east of Siler City, in western Chatham County. There are many beliefs as to why the Devil's Tramping ground is there but scientist can not find a reason why nothing is growing. Many people believe that a UFO landed in the area to create a perfect circle and that is why it is there. Others say that magic treasure is buried under the cirle, the main reason everyone thinks it there is ... The devil. Many believe that the devil paces around a perfect circle everynight thinking of evil plans that are against man kind. They say in the early morning he turns into a bat to carry the message back. Some people think the farmer who owned the land where the circle lies made up the story to scare people off from hunting on his property. Although there are some phony beliefs, there are many reasonable facts as to why the tramping ground is there. One explanation says that the cirloe is on the site of a molasses mill that used horses or mules to pull the mill wheel. It was their hooves that damaged the ground, yet other mills at the time had no sign of a circle. Many scientist have set out to find out why the circle is there and found out that the circle has high level of salt, and they know that the spot was a nacient salt lick for bison and deer. This explains why nothing will grow there but it never has explained why is it a perfect circle and how it's stayed so long. A few brave folks have tried camping out in the Devil's tramping ground but have fleed during the night. Others have put out heavy material it would take half a dozen men to carry and say it's gone the very next morning. People have always said what scared them away is moving or flying ghostly objects... but know one knows what in the world is wrong... Do you?
In my opinion i highly doubt the fact that the Devil paces around in a circle at night. I am never sure of what may have happen but i feel like it has something to do with nature. I can't quite explain what may have happened in great detail but no one ever has, but if i had to guess ide say a fire or animals out in the woods.
