His area of habitation once stretched for many miles but due to population growth it has diminished to the dense woods surrounding the Creek Road Bridge. There have been many stories of thrill seekers attempting to provoke the charred man by getting out of their vehicle and standing on the bridge calling out in a teasing manner.

At this point the creature is said to come charging onto the bridge in an attempt to attack his agitator. On multiple occasions the potential victims have left the scene and found the dents and black ash markings left on their car from the charred mans furious blows.

There are many different thoughts as to where this mysterious man/beast comes from, though no one really knows for sure. Some say he was once a child who was nearly burnt alive and became insane as he grew older from watching his father die in the same fire.

Another story is that he is a widow and was burnt trying to save his dear wife from a house fire that ultimately took her life and left him a mass of burnt flesh and peeling skin. Still yet, one other story of interest claims the charred man to be the driver of a bus that had crashed over the side of the bridge in the 1940s killing all of the passengers although the driver's body was never recovered.

The rumors go on and on of just what or who the charred man may be. I thought the bus scenario was interesting because there have been other reports in the past of a mysterious phantom bus being seen crashing over the bridges guardrail, but when authorities arrive there is no sign of a crash or any victims.
