Battle of Honey Springs

War Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of West Virginia.^[1]

War Creek was named due to the frequent battles between frontiersmen and Native Americans that took place near this stream.^[2]^[3]

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.^{[citation needed]} Many locals claim the blood of fallen soldiers had contaminated the waters, making the stream a popular hot-spot for various spiritual sightings.^{[citation needed]}
