Bear Creek Swamp in Autaugaville, not far from Prattville, has long been reported to be haunted by disembodied voices, strange lights and peculiar happenings. Many who have made a nighttime trip out Alabama 14 toward Selma have come back with stories of weird goings on.

Shawn Sellers is a Montgomery man who founded Southern Paranormal Researchers, and along with his colleagues investigates paranormal happenings in the region. Bear Creek Swamp is the first place he ever investigated and he returns there often.

Here's his report on one of his favorite spooky places in the River Region:

Bear Creek Swamp was our first investigation. Since then we have gone back numerous times. Bear Creek Swamp is a very interesting and extremely creepy place. The dirt road that cuts through the swamp is two to three miles long and winds through woods and a couple of fields or pastures as well as the swamp. There are only a few houses on the road.
