As soon as I arrived at Witch Dance, I was intrigued by its mysterious, eerie atmosphere. The dense forest, called the Holly Springs National Forest, is home to an ancient Native American ceremonial ground, which locals believe was used for witchcraft. Sensing the history and sacredness of the area, I took my time to explore and document every detail of this unique place. I was fascinated by the legends of this place from locals. I found out that the site got its name in the 1830s when a famous Choctaw chief visited this area and saw a group of women swirling around hypnotically in a late-afternoon dance. The beauty to him was enchanting and he named this “Witch Dance”. A second explanation claims that this is the place where witches from all over the area converged to dance wildly on full moons. Despite the spooky reputation of Witch Dance, the place is peaceful and majestic.
