Jungle Prada
 
Lets put it this way this place has a dark history and a lot of energy even an author states the weirdness that goes on back here. Keep in mind the area was visited by the Spaniards in the 1500's where conquest of Florida begin the same Spaniards that would go to slaughter the southern American tribes like the Aztecs for example.
 
I parked in the lot....and went on my hike it was humid so I just wanted to take off my thick clothes its much warmer on the gulf side apparently. I seen some raccoons once again lots of wildlife out there...and I even seen a rat before I arrived here sitting in the road trust me it was bigger then a cat yikes.
 
I went down a trail that went into the palmetto it came out to some beat up museum and stone garden built apparently where the indian village once stood and mounds. Stones were laid out to make steps....the walkways were formed by trees and brush.
 
I ended up having to go into the water for a bit took my sneakers off stepped out a few oyster beds ouch ouch I know. But I wanted to see what is all the hype that so many paranormal groups talk about how its dark...spooky and honestly I may be one of the first ever groups to venture into this area at night.
 
I could not use a light I was walking around blind I heard things moving around me down every turn this was a maze of many paths...stones laid out everywhere some paths thin enough for a child. It was eerie as hell and I hardly took photos I did not need to I felt so many ghost watching me from every end.
 
I heard the chain link fence start to shake....I heard movement..and what may have sounded like a dog but not sure. After a few paths I did not want to stay to long cause I explored a good amount of area except the beat up museum which had a car parked up in the thick and I was like hmmm dog...museum and Lord Rick well hmmm its not what it looks like officer lol.
 
I left my pant legs fell in so now I was wet from the knees down haha. Man the fishing looks good here I seen some enormous fish jump out of the water or thrash there tails. Damn should have brought my pole I just did not think about it. I conquered Jungle Prada an ancient site but I knew there was more you cant fool me with these sites.
 
I noticed there was a patch of woods and figured I would explore them. You would not expect mounds off into the woods since most are build on water but close enough. I hate rodents well guess what? That's right I walked into dozens of rats climbing up tree limbs...up trunks.....running pass my legs and they were pretty large. I tried photographing them but I was amazed I hate them but man I thought what if I had a group of girls can you imagine how they would scream and wake up the whole neighborhood lol.
 
I slowly walked past the rats they were watching and walked in thick brush found me some pretty long Indian mounds some were almost my height with various shells embedded in them. I felt a lot of energy in this area I felt watched..followed...and what I also felt is not evil or dark forces like proposed but rather curiosity.
 
After this I did walk on a board walk sat by the water took a break...took some photos of the restaurant which I think is where Capone use to dine at. I cannot wait to do the write up for this I took EMFs and EVP but only got a few EMF reads not sure have to study the EVP as well. (I did study the EVP and captured what sounds like an mmmm or low tone moan inside the sacred lands area)
 
There is something here and it was a nice investigation one of the most spooky of the night being in the woods with rats and ghost nice combo eh? Maybe though the place is cursed...a stone fell from under me...I got stabbed by this bush I never seen before...and snagged on some rust. Jungle Prada was beating the Lord down literally haha.
 
 Next place visited was Sunny Side Cemetery...or rather the Hoxie Gravesite..
