Brown Springs, Oklahoma

I found this article very interesting. We will be discussing Brown Springs, Oklahoma on upcoming show. The article is below:

Have you ever been to a place where time just seems to stop? Where you seem surrounded by something evil, something you can’t see, yet you feel you’re being watched? A place where death seems just a breath away.

I visited such a place in south central Oklahoma in the early ’70s by the name of Brown Springs. I went there again in August 1997 for the second time in my life. It was an experience I wouldn’t forget. I have since been back and each time I have this feeling something is wrong down there, very wrong.

Brown Springs is located in a low, almost airless area south and east of Thackerville, Oklahoma in Love county. If your traveling on I-35 between Oklahoma City and Dallas, you would exit I-35 at the 1 mile marker which is about 4 miles south of Thackerville, Oklahoma. Then travel east of I-35 a few hundred feet to the Chickasaw Smoke Shoppe and then turning south, a person travels a few hundred more feet to the end of the concrete road. From that point on is dirt. The springs are located exactly one mile south of the Smoke Shoppe. Here is where you come to a place where the trees and vegetation is thick, covering the roadside. The area seems like the end of the world, a place where there’s no way out except the way you came in. It is in this low, motionless place where Brown Springs is found. It is located on the north side of the dirt road, with the spring’s water overflow running south under the road into a lifeless lagoon. The lagoon empties just a few feet to the south into the Red River, which separates Oklahoma from Texas.

Over the past 20 years or so, several bodies have been found in Brown Springs. Some of the bodies met violent deaths in the Dallas area, and then brought to Brown Springs and dumped. I remember several being found during the 1970s, another body found around 1989. The last one was a young lady from Gainesville, Texas whose body was found in Brown Springs, laying on top of her automobile. Her body was found about June 1997.

I was at Brown Springs August 2, 1997, it was at dusk, the sun just going down. While I stood beside the lagoon, looking out, a pickup drove up behind me across the dirt road, and two young men got out and started north into the green, lush, heavily wooded area where the spring water bubbles up out of the ground. One man looked like the devil himself, and the other looked like the Grim Reaper. I got this feeling they were not there to check on a flower garden. They gave me this cold beady eyed death look as if they wished me dead. I swear the tall thin one was so pale looking, he already looked dead. I just gave them a go-to-hell look back, and then they turned and went into the woods. That’s when I decided it was time to get back to civilization.

What is it that seems to draw death and spirits from the dark side to this God forsaken place in the southern most, south central part of Oklahoma? Its like a mysterious phone call I received in 1999 from a lady who would not identify herself telling me I was crazy to go to Brown Springs. Said she knew of ‘the springs’ and I didn’t know what I was messing with, and whatever I did there, ‘do not take anything from that cemetery, not even a pebble”. Take a look at the photo below of Brown Springs where it empties into the lagoon. See if you don’t get the same erie feeling I did. But a word to the wise, never go to Brown Springs after dark.

    I think the photo looks pretty. But what do I know ?
    I once was on a trail, made by a friend, and it was scary. Something was not right. It pops into my head periodically and I always think it’s got something freighting about it. One other place I know makes me feel the same.
    I think it’s a very old part of our mind that picks up on queues we once used to stay alive while on the savanna. It’s wise to pay attention and this person is smart to do so…

    Yea the Outlaws talk about this place as very bad, they say the woman that was found dead on top of her car looked like she had been raped and mutilated by some type of creature and her boyfriend was murdered as well

    I was raised in the area and spent a lot of time there during my childhood and teenage years, we used to rabbit hunt there during the winter months and never experienced anything strange. I heard many stories though from the older residents of the area about devil worshippers and creepy happenings, many of those folks absolutely refused to go to the area.

    This place is crazy as all get out i live just a few miles from it and have heard what I believe to be chatter and wood knocks. As well as a fleeting glance at what I believe to be a dogman.
