Transcript:

"In 1977, you could drive a car all through the flatwoods and it comes out at the Devil's Tramping Ground. And it's an old dirt and, you know, the lumber trucks, so you had to hit it at the right time or you'd be stuck out there. But you could drive a car 5 miles all the way through it, but you better drive about 10 miles per hour. When I was a kid, and I was a little too young, these guys would go spend the night at the Devil's Tramping, and they claimed they woke the next morning, and been moved out of the path, or that their hair--they saw their hair was standing straight up, or the car wouldn't start."
