The Mysterious and Ghostly Bear Creek Swamp

Would you spend the night in the Bear Creek Swamp, located between Prattville and Autaugaville, Alabama? Many have tried, but only a few, among the intrepid, have succeeded and made it until daybreak.


Mysterious booms, ghostly apparitions of soldiers, and floating orbs have driven even the bravest to flee in fear. A distraught phantom mother is also known to appear, wandering the mist-covered realm in search of her missing child.


The unworldly goings on in this place are enough to make you lose your mind.
