I would like to hear from anyone who has experienced dealing with an area of land, which was cursed from bloodshed on the land. There's an area of land near the town where I live, which I know--or which I feel has a principalitie--a demonic presence on it. Everytime I drive over the bridge over the creek there, I get a creepy feeling--I had a demonic attack in my sleep when I camped there the first time I moved to the area. I dreamed of a giant snake trying to devour me and I woke up feeling a strong demonic presence. (this was a few years ago) Of course, I immediately put on worship and praise, and plead the blood and rebuked it, etc. The creek--which is called Sylamore runs into the White river. I don't know why but I really want to know why it's oppressed. I'm wondering if an Indian village was massacred there. I was talking with someone tonight and I was talking about the history that I've read--the creek is supposely named after a Creek indian named Sylamo who lived on Sylamore Creek. Supposely, according to the historical record, he was an outlaw who was banished from his tribe. One particular person--Don, told me that when the Indians of the area were forced out, Sylamore didn't want to leave, and wandered back and the white settlers murdered him, and said "that Sylamore should have never have come back". I think I may remember Don telling me that Sylamore was the last survivor of an indian village that was massacred.(That's not mentioned in the history record of the area---which makes me wonder if there are skeletons in the closet in this area
) What's weird, last time I asked Don about that story, he denied remembering telling me about it. Tonight I asked an oldtimer--if he knew anything and he said no. A historical record of the area mentions a band of Shawnee who--having been forced to move from their homeland, were allowed to settle on the white river here in Arkansas. They had 3 village sites---which are located in the historical record. None of them were on Sylamore Creek which really surprises me which makes me wonder, why???? Sylamore seems to be a significant area--Sylamore is one of the main creeks in the area. And it's tucked in a neat spot. In fact, I don't even remember any white settlers living there in that time period, either1820's?) There's going to be an archaelogy dig in a few weeks at one of the other sites and I think I'm going to ask the archaelogist about it, to see what he thinks. I'm wondering, either the Shawnee felt the area was 'taboo' to live--either they felt evil in the area too, or, maybe there was an Indian village there, but it was left out of the local historical record to cover up a massacre that took place there by the white settlers. Since then, that area has been cursed with some tornados that gone thru the area that killed some campers a few years back, and rumors of a satanic cult ritual which is supposely held rituals near by, and wild stuff--fighting, drinking, etc, that went on back in the early 1900's.
