Others claim your voice is bouncing off a nearby curved stone wall but fail to take into account that Native Americans and early settlers knew of the mystery spot centuries before that wall was constructed. The local Native legend states that an ancient god appeared long ago at the mystery spot and his wisdom still reverberates there causing the facsimile of an echo.
For those of you who like your travel seasoned with a little mystery, Salvatore M. Trento's Field Guide to the Mysterious Places of Eastern North America might be just the book to bring along on your next jaunt along the eastern seaboard. In Nova Scotia, a giant rock bears ancient runes, markings that have been attributed to everyone from the Vikings to the ancient Myceneans! In central Vermont, stone burial chambers combined with caches of ancient Roman coins add up to a puzzling conundrum. In upstate New York, the community of Pine Bush appears to be a magnet for UFOs. Not all of the sites listed in Trento's book are this spooky, of course, but every place is both mysterious and controversial. Indian burial mounds, standing stones, burial caves, and petroglyphs--these are just a few of the many places and objects of interest you can find all over the eastern United States and Canada. In addition to descriptions of the sites, Trento provides historical background, the latest theories of the experts, directions for getting there, and suggestions for the best times to go. So if you're looking for something different to do on your next vacation, pick up a copy of Field Guide to Mysterious Places of Eastern North America. The truth is out there. - Amazon Review
