I am sure we have all heard the stories surrounding Devil Swamp Road. If you park on the train tracks, ghosts will shake your vehicle and leave fingerprints, and you will see headlights of a train coming towards you. I decided to find out for myself. I started preparing for the long night ahead. First stop for photo editor Amy Ford and me…Wal-Mart. We gathered the essentials, flashlights and lollipops. We added these to the rest of the essential ghost hunting equipment-video camera, tape recorder, digital camera, chairs and baseball bats. All right, so the baseball bats weren’t for the ghosts.

The road to Devil Swamp is filled with things I find creepy, cane fields and woods. We kept looking left and right hoping to see something. Once at the end of the road, we turned right onto a worn path. We had train tracks on our left, the cane field on our right. We had little room to turn if something tried to attack us.

We followed the path until we met up with the old train. Amy got out of the car to take pictures of the train. I stayed locked up in the car with the engine on, ready to speed off at the first sign of something.

Now, I must say, I have been to places that were haunted, and this location just did not have that feeling to it. It ended up being just a creepy old train track at night, and we were just two girls scared of being murdered.

A few minutes after midnight, we saw the mysterious ghost train. Not only did we see it: we heard it. But guess what? Of course you are going to see the lights of a train because it was an ACTUAL train.

We decided to call it a night, not because we were scared, but because it is clear nothing spooky was going to happen.

I do not recommend wasting your time on Halloween at Devil Swamp. I just think there is no evidence to prove that the place is haunted. Maybe one day the investigators from Ghost Hunters can come do a proper investigation at Devil Swamp. Then we will know the true answers.
