War Creek should not be confused with Creek War.
War Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of West Virginia.
War Creek was named due to the frequent battles between frontiersmen and Native Americans that took place near this stream.[1] [2]
It is rumored that fishes caught in this stream had a faint taste of blood, even after the fish had been properly gutted and cleaned. Many locals claim the blood of fallen soldiers had contaminated the waters, making the stream a popular hot-spot for various spiritual sightings.
