The story
The door of the devil (or door of the white lady) is located in the countryside of western Dijon, after Plombières-lès-Dijon, in the town of Daix.
It is supposed to be evil, various legends have spread: if you drive past, the engine stops; apparitions of the white lady; appearances of the devil; disappearance of visitors; etc.
Legend has it that if you enter through a door and come out the same (and not the other) the misfortune will fall on us.
Well the reality is less funny, the weapons above the door do not represent the devil but a Phrygian cap. This comes from the former owner (and sponsor of the construction of this door), Adolphe Bonnet. The door was probably built in the 19th century. This is actually the old entrance to the Champmoron farm. The captions on the door seem fairly recent, probably created in the late 80s.
Nothing extraordinary then, maybe some will-o'-the-wisps, but especially continual degradation by the curious who come to tag and break bottles by the door. Note that a sect ("Love and mercy") regularly attended the place at the end of the 90s.
A testimony :
I had the opportunity as scout leader, to have the cocal of my group, in the farm of Champmoron, located just above the door. I knew the testimonies on this mystere. So I saw the accesses underground which connects the door of the devil has this farm, noting that big iron door that closes the end of the tunnel where so many researchers have been stranded in front of this door. You must know, that beyond this iron gate, there is the courtyard from the farm, but another underground descends from the courtyard, and over a long distance joins the vault of the old castle Talant.Pour the mysteries of the door of the devil, I actually heard and my cubs too, of strange noises, a night we spent at the local, coming from the bottom of the hill, near the door of the devil. With my deputy, we went to see what was happening and I can tell you that the appearance of the white lady is not a myth, we saw her sitting near the door, and this feeling we felt like we were next to her, and suddenly we heard a shout of beast, which we could not identify, and the white lady fled into the wood.After being reassembled On the farm, our Cubs told us that they too heard this cry, and that the dogs started to bark, and if they had not been fastened, were ready to go to the wood. We have witnessed that 'inexplicable.
