Bear Creek Swamp
Autaugaville, Alabama, United States

The Story
Bear Creek Swamp carries several strands of roadside folklore: unexplained lights, vehicles that seem to disappear, and brief figures seen from passing cars. Another tale describes a woman searching for a lost child. A widely reported discovery of dolls in the water added to its eerie image, but that human-made display is not supernatural evidence. The stories belong to the swamp's local reputation, and should not be treated as verified accounts of its former inhabitants.
