One more, if I tell them all yall will think I am nuts, and I might be.
Years ago I was squirrel hunting on a wma and had worked down into a deep draw. It was thick woods and pretty dark for mid day. I heard muffled sounds that sounded like a small child and a grown man, man sounded mad and child was crying, pleading. And then all was quiet too quiet. The hair stood up on the back of my neck and I got a real bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. I started toward the direction of the sounds and walked about 75 yards and came to a small clearing. In the middle of the clearing was a huge downed tree and on top of the tree was Childs clothing, I got to the tree and found a little girls dress and panties and there was some blood on the panties over the tree it looked as if a small body had been drug through the trees. I ran like hell back to the truck and found a DNR agent, told him what I had found and heard and led him back to the spot. When we got there everything was gone no trail, no tree no clothes my hunting pack was still there so I know it was the same spot. He radios for another officer that had worked the area for thirty years, He is suspicious of me now, we walk back to the truck and wait for backup, now I am being detained. When the senior officer rolls up and gets his bearings is face turns white and he tells us that in the 70,s a little girls body was found in the exact spot and a sheriffs deputy had raped and killed her across a fallen log and drug her thirty yards past the log and dumped her body in thick brush.

Surely some evil forces that possessed that man to do that evil act and kill that innocent girl, it is still around and making its disguise, to bring FEAR to people passing by. When Jesus Christ was about to cast out some 6 legions of evil spirits from one man, they begged to the Son of God "Please, do not send us back into the abyss, let us stay in this region!" - So evil spirits are very territorial and they control areas.

I wasn't sure if i was going to share this or not. I had cancer in 02'-03'. When i was going through chemo i had a very odd and very "real" dream. I was at Philmont scout ranch with my dad. I went to Philmont when i was 17...my dad went with my troop a cpl year later as they needed another adult and he had never been. so I had never been to philmont with my dad. In the dream we were hiking into the tooth of time camp site together alone. I had been to this camp in real life years before when i was 17...the camp looked totally different in my dream. a kid called down the tooth side trail and said "somebody saw a rattlesnake be careful." another adult came around the bend in my dream and said something i no longer remember and my dad went to walk the tooth side trail to the overlook, I dropped my pack and sat to nap...I was woken by scouts yelling for me to run up the trail NOW...my dad had been bit by the rattle snake...and died. I woke shaking and freaking out, called my dad at work and made sure he was alive.

I FIRMLY believe that this happened in to another ME in another timeline/parallel universe...because fast forward a year...

I was a few months off chemo and my dad asked me if i wanted to goto philmont with him and my old troop if my doc cleared me. we went. at this point i did not remember the dream...until we hiked into the tooth of time camp. I didn't recognize the tooth camp in my dream because we hiked in from the opposite direction that my crew had taken 6 years before. the sense of deja vu that hit me was unlike anything i have ever experienced. I started freaking out. I told my dad a kid would call down the hill about a rattlesnake...the scout did, but now i knew his name. I told my dad that roger would come around the bend and say whatever he said...he did...my dad is getting as pale as i am. he said "im going up wanna come?" I said "if you go up there you die by snake...I dreamed it. I am not ****ing around" he didnt...and i paddle and hike with him on weekends. Some other "me" lost his dad that day. for some reason i was able to save mine.

I only had one other dream with the same feeling as this one...and it is too terrifying to discuss. thanks for reading that mess.

Not a camping story. But when growing up my father was in the Air Force at times he was away and we would stay with my grandparents. They had a brick ranch style home built in late 50s or early 60s. One night I was sleeping on the couch in the den and woke up at 2:00 am. There was a clock on the table at the end of the couch. As I looked in the doorway and old women came in the door it was as if she was floating as her movement was so fluid. She had something like a long dress or gown on and her face had no eyes in the sockets. They just looked black. She went right beside me towards the window( I could have touched her) she disappeared when she got to the window ( Getting goose bumps telling this). I laid there for two hours not moving. At 4:00 I reached up behind me and cut the lamp on and got out of that room. Never slept in it again. I was thirteen at the time and of course no one believed me. A few years later my Grandmother was in that room setting on the floor with her back against the chair. She thought she saw my grandfather go by and reach out and shake the chair. She waited and he never came back down the hall. She got up to check on him and he had never went down the hall. He was a sleep in the other room. Scared the crap out of her. After they died the home was sold to a guy that rented it out. He had two families move out of the home because they're children keep seeing an old women standing at the stove. Then there was the time at an old house that was reportedly haunted. As I reached for a door knob it turned before I got my hand on it and the door swung open. No one was in the room.

To be honest, I can't remember exactly where. I used to do so many properties all around Atlanta that they all get mixed up in my head now. If I could pull up my old paperwork I might be able to locate it. I'd have to remember which asset company it was too.

There are some great stories here.
The reason I ask which house, is there is a house in a neighborhood called sweetwater estates in lilburn. That fits this description.
The house is now a rental but some time mid 70s-mid 80/“s a dad killed his wife and kids. Supposedly, Chopped them up with an axe and threw them in a lake or swamp close by. The guy disappeared and was never caught as far as I know. I confirmed it happened with a long time lilburn officer now retired (in early 2000s) who was friend’s with my father and residents’ in the lilburn area “remembered it in a news paper”. I have never found this article.

The officer acknowledged that generally it happened and basically told me to stop asking him about it. He refused to confirm any parts of the “story”. This was in early 2000s before retirement. I knew to drop it as he didn’t like to be pressed.
A neighbor/friend of mine who moved in down the street well after all this happened told me the story was true or close according to the “neighborhood.”

Anyways the house was in a trust or something along those lines and the house sat vacant for years. Supposedly the family had no close relatives or at least in the area, according to “legend”. One of the family cars was there and the family’s items supposedly were still inside for many many years. I remember the car was in the open garage under an overhang and looked dilapidated (maybe an old Plymouth?). It disappeared for several weeks and was returned. I saw this as kid in the late 80s. My dad drove us past a few times because he had heard the story and my siblings wanted to see if it was true (and he liked to scare us, all in good fun!). This of course freaked everyone out who knew about the story as the car looked like it wouldn’t run. No one knew why it was gone and then brought back. Especially since it looked like a junker at this point and probably couldn’t have been cranked/hot wired and drive off. Did the suspect/father come back in town??? Who knows probably just vandals but still creepy.

Many local teens (not me)broke in the late 80s and 90s & confirmed much of family’s items were still in the home. The house was gratified and etc. It was an ongoing nuisance for the police and area. Teens that went in said it was definitely haunted.

I had a friend who was going to start a podcast and we did research on this story. The show/podcast in general never took off. That friend moved on to much bigger and better things. We were able to confirm some parts of the story and people who “should “ know acknowledged that the general facts were correct (see above). Oddly However, I could never find that news article or any other victim or individual’s names.

Once the Trust sold it (or whatever legal holding), or it was condemned/taken over, it was rehabed and rented by new owners. The records were very vague and the “trust” was not in the “father’s” name or family’s name. So no idea who they were.
Initially nothing was done because trust had paid the bills. I assume the trust (if that’s what it was called?) is dissolved? The “trust” seemed to have been tied to the initial development of the neighborhood but heck if I know. The old records are pretty crappy & I’m not a paralegal.

I will say that the house was bought by several different companies/owners over the years for rentals, it was sold quite a few times and since at least 1999ish, the renters never stayed very long. It is or was at least a high turnover property. Hmmm. Obviously many believe it to be haunted.

Someone above mentioned Jesus and the Swine. This neighborhood has a weird feel and started having crime/gunfire etc even before the general area took a turn for the worse. I believe there were other violent crimes in that neighborhood with murders in that general neighborhood. We know a lot of general facts but not specifics, if the guy was caught or if the “story” has gotten blown into something that’s now false. But the place and the general area is still creepy even after being rehabilitated.

The land the neighborhood is on (Generally was called Sweetwater community in the 1800s) and further up to Sugarloaf pkwy was inhabited by native Americans (Creek Indians)until Andrew Jackson forced them out of Georgia. I believe there was a trading route and villages in the area. Indian Trail road? So there’s that angle too. You can see Why we thought if true, this has the making of a great “true crime” style podcast.
