This is a fantastic video. The attention to the history and natural beauty of my home state. It is awesome. - Most that haven't explored Indiana just think it is flat and just cornfields but it is so much more than that!
Deep, Southern Indiana, is an epiphany to many people that live only 2 hours north. Rolling hills and valleys, museums, tall waterfalls, show caves, wild caves, beautiful waterfronts along the Ohio River, 1800’s mansions, the historic first state capital, first theme park in the United States, and incredible Eden’s, hidden in rocky canyons.
I went here with my BFF and it was a magical experience. As soon as we arrived, a local field dog came to greet us and was our personal tour guide. I named him melon affectionately. Myths and legends aside, what a peaceful area. The whole of Monroe lake and forests have a particular feel to them no where else. I think there is magic there.
Mr.Miller, who lives at the bottom of Browning Mountain is about all thats left in the area who has been there for quite awhile. My friends family still has property in the area, so as a teenager I would spend several weeks a year exploring the hills and hollers of the area, fishing salt creek and hunting in the fall. I camped many many nights ontop of Browning Mountain fishing the small fire ponds and frog gigging. A beautiful place where the rocks are, a great vantage point as well, everytime I walked in the area a sense of something, I just always felt just pure peace there. Great video
I love hearing peoples stories, about places I’ve covered! As a visitor, I can’t know the full history, and always enjoy them. Thanks for telling yours! I’ve been to many places, like Browning Mountain, that some say are haunted by Indian / ancient spirits. So far, I’ve always felt at peace. Someone told me that maybe it’s because I “have Indian blood”, and they recognize me. 😀 My explanation: I’m just at peace everywhere, location doesn’t matter.
@@AdventureswithRoger I agree, I dont believe u need to be a native to feel the connection to nature. I believe it is a gift when a person can sense things. The beautiful animals of Indianas hardwoods possess these senses, I have studied, hunted and admired the whitetailed deer and let me tell u, they have a 6th sense. The very first place I hunted as a child with my Dad was across the holler from Browning Mountain back in 1978. Indiana has many many beautiful places and areas to explore, thank you for making these terrific videos showing us those things.
Working on what I hope is a wonderful tribute to Corydon / Harrison County. Hoping to finish filming of Crawford County this weekend, but it’s all about the sun! 🙂
If u know what ur looking at then u can see the energy moving through the trees and bushes, particularly around 1:50 in video. Easily mistaken for the wind, energy is causing the movement in the bush beside the stone marker NOT wind. The leaves seem to vibrate almost dance and look like electrified by some unseen force. The difference in the wind energy and that of the etheric is so slight that it often goes undetected. However, I can see and feel energy, work with certain energy techniques for healing purposes. I have been sensitive to these things all my life and increasingly so in the last few years. U can see the energy again at 4:25 in video. The leaves appear to giggle as opposed to air moving them. I spend many hours observing this activity and find that wherever ur attention goes the energy will follow. U can try this for urself by going outside and looking at a tree observing the movement etc then focus on another tree or plant really anything in nature responds to the human consciousness. Continue to shift ur attention to different things and see how the energy increases as u give it ur attention. There's also an increase in the wind energy during this time so u can distinguish the etheric from wind.
There is a rock wall in Texas over 60 feet tall and 17 miles long. "Experts" tried to say it's natural. Except when it was excavated, they found doorways in it and iron rings attached to it. Rings that don't rust. It was found over 100 years ago when a man was digging a well. That's why the town is named Rockwell Texas.
Great job on this video. I've been to Indiana Stonehenge twice. I respect native American beliefs and have several friends among the IN Miami. My goal was to record myself playing a native American flute in the circle. When I arrived on the road, a heavy rainstorm raged for over an hour before I climbed the hill alone to the stones. At the top I was sure the Watcher was observing me. I checked out the henge and the stones littering the steep hillside. Something told me not to bring my camcorder inside the circle, and I set it up just outside of it. Spiritual Energy was thick and tangible everywhere. The heat produced a wet haze when I entered the circle after turning on the camcorder. I played whatever came to mind on my flute when a loud crack came from a huge limb falling from a tree very close by. The Watcher? Something urged me to keep playing as I watched a tree's limbs bouncing up and down. Once finished, I noticed the haze was gone! The watched "Feeling" had eased, though the strong Spiritual Energy remained constant. You can view the video I took on You Tube under my name, Ginger Karns.
I live right outside Columbus near Westport IN. Burnsville township is about 2 miles from my house, maybe less. About 5 mins from Anderson Falls (a place you should cover if you haven't!!! I have videos on my channel.) I was looking up the archeological records from Bartholomew County and found out right here somewhere between my house and Burnsville (a glorified 4 way stop with houses and a church) a burial ground was unearthed containing giant skeletons. The creek that runs along this, the only hilly spot in Bartholomew County, and behind my house is likely where Indians made settlements in the area because it is idyllic here. Anderson Falls is most certainly enchanted. They say this area and especially 40 sq miles around Anderson Falls are a geological anomaly. My husband's family owns a large section of land right outside Nashville where the whole family has lived for generations. I believe Story Inn is right near the turn off to get to his family's remote "neighborhood."
Did Anderson Falls: th-cam.com/video/hbCNd-rQbkY/w-d-xo.html Had heard of the giant bones up there, will eventually do a story. Hoping to first find the newspaper clippings.
@@AdventureswithRoger You are so awesome!! I'm from Key West FL (but lived all over Fl) and only moved here 8 years ago having never been to Indiana. I had no idea how beautiful Southern Indiana and Columbus are. Ever since moving here I've been thinking it's a shame how few people know about the region (although that's surely more a blessing than a curse!) I haven't been North of Indianapolis but honestly from what I've seen the farther North you get from Columbus the more you realize where Indiana got its lackluster reputation from. Southern Indiana is like a different world and incredibly lovely. I've been all the way to the Terre Haute area to see the Exotic Feline Rescue Center. That place is worth twice the drive just to visit! I've never seen such friendly and welcoming tigers and the animals all have wonderfully huge enclosures and are clearly well loved given their friendly dispositions. And the walk is fun because it's like walking through a winding, narrow jungle trail between massive enclosures where the majority of the cats, especisllu the tigers, enjoy coming right up to the fence to greet you and walk along with you the length of their enclosures. I'm gonna go through all your videos for sure but just wanted to mention that place because they could always use the publicity and potential donations.
I grew up just south of Indianapolis. My parents were big into weekend day trips, and we saw so much of Indiana, particularly the southern portion. After Dad died, we didn’t travel a great deal, but once I got a job, I was looking for places on the map, and went all over the state with my Mom, brother, and friends. The thing about northern Indiana, is that it’s incredibly flat, and although there are some great tourist attractions, they are extremely spread out. I’m hoping to cover all the main northern Indiana tourist attractions in 2022: I believe people will be amazed at what’s in their own backyard. There are a few southern Indiana tourist attractions that I’ve refused to cover, not because they aren’t good, but because they aren’t family friendly priced. Two in particular would cost a family of four between $350 to $500 for only a few hours entertainment: you might as well save for Florida! My favorite places are those that can consume a day with fun activities, and are either free or nearly so. I’ll definitely look into the feline rescue!
There are certain places that when I go to visit, I show an enormous amount of respect to. Any place with graves happens to be one of those places. I’ve had some strange things happen in graveyards. That feeling like you are being watched and there are guardians is very strongly felt. I do not step on graves. I actually walk right above the headstone, as I feel this is the best suited place. I ask permission for everything. I take nothing for granted. I let my intentions and purpose be known at the entrance/gates. I know that sounds weird. But when you have had things happen that you just can’t explain realistically, you tread lightly. I hope you understand.
I think I understand, Doc. I go to graveyards and talk to family members only. I have no idea if they can hear me, but it gives me peace, to share what’s going on in my life. I know of people that go to graveyards, hoping to make a connection to the dead, people that aren’t related to them, or just to experience something spooky. Those people are asking for trouble. Sometimes, you can take a spirit home with you, and it has no intention of being a nice guest, or ever leaving. While I have never felt a presence in a graveyard, that may only be because I’m not an empath. I know two empaths, and they often have to leave certain places, as all of the dead know they can talk to them and be heard.
It's not limited to the grave sites. That land was taken from us by the state. Unfortunately, causing a divide between the family.. but that's another story. Ike Shipley Road, Shipley Hollow Rd, Elkinsville, and another family cemetery back in the woods is the only thing that's left of the family we had 150yrs ago. I feel at home in those woods. Lol, don't be scared. Just respect the land.
I was allowed to visit an upper floor of an old building that was like a private museum, in the vicinity of Mt Shasta in northern California. The owner had his grand daughter unlock a door to the upper level, and I went up a stairway into a large room that contained antique items of many types, a handmade parquet wood floor, old dining booths along the sides, and massive paintings of the scenery around the place. As I began to explore I felt I was being watched by an unseen observer. I had no history or experience with paranormal anything, so this was a new sensation. I spoke in a calm voice with words unrehearsed, "I intend no harm and I will be respectful. I just enjoy seeing these fine things, then I will leave everything as is". A sense of easy calm followed, and I did what I said. Whatever prompted me to speak up steered me right.
Sound wisdom, we should all tread a little gentler on the path in front of us as we make our way through this life in general,reverence is a dying art.
I grew up in brown county and never knew of this place because you your videos my 10 year old son have made a list of places to go and went here yesterday 3.13.24. So awesome. Thank you.
My pleasure! When my brother and I were kids, our parents took us to all kinds of great places in Indiana. My hope is that people will watch these videos and travel to make memories! 🙂
Thanks Roger I've been waiting for this one. I've been there many times and have experienced some kooky stuff. My firm belief is the site is far more ancient than anyone has dated it to be. In the fall if the leaves blow off of the slope you can clearly see a cobblestone road going down the front of the slope. This indicates a fortification to me. it would be wonderful to have Scott Wolter attempt to date it.
@@candacebradshaw2315 The easiest way to find it is to find Nashville, Indiana on a map, go east on 46, go south on 135 to Story. From Story go west on Elkinsville Road until it T’s at Comb’s Rd: go left. You’ll cross a bridge and see a house on your right with a pioneer fence, then the trailhead on your right. Trailhead is not well marked but is worn down during active hiking months. Trail goes way way up to the summit, then T’s: go right until you reach the edge of summit and you’ll see the rocks.
Does anyone know if anyone has did a good LiDAR scan on the area? Stuff like a cobblestone road would be very clear. I am thinking about making a trip this week to see this. I live in Carmel and went to IU and yet have never seen this area. Fascinating! I would like to get a solid answer on the limestone.
I went up there and saw the campsite a month or so ago. Nothing paranormal happened. It was a neat hike and I’d love to camp up there. Ive been exploring the bottomlands in Maumee quite a bit since I first found out about it a year ago. That whole area is intriguing and I’d love to know more about it’s history. I will say, no other plot of land in Deam’s has attracted me more. When the leave’s aren’t thick, you can actually see Browning Hill from the Sycamore Ridge trail. It’s a beautiful morning sight.
When I was there, I didn’t experience anything, and someone had even pitched a tent about 50 feet from the rocks. My friend went, who’s been a sensitive since she was a kid: she picked up all kinds of impressions, got light headed / sick feeling near the center of that rock ring. Some of us just don’t have the ability, and that suits me fine! I don’t want it. As a skeptic who tries to have an open mind, I’ve tested my friend at many other places. Even at places where she had no clue what the history was, and I’d read specifics from police reports, she was able to tell me what happened with remarkable accuracy, just by walking around. Again, I enjoy history and folklore, but am glad to walk through this life, oblivious to many unseen things! 🙂
My family’s farmland is under Maumee. The Arthur’s and Browns. I’ve seen pics of the house where she grew up. I’m nostalgic therefore I felt something I can’t explain knowing entire families history was drowned.
I’ve seen videos of when the water was low, and you could see house foundations. While the corp of engineers say they moved entire cemeteries, it’s a safe bet that they didn’t move everyone: there are too many unmarked graves.
My pleasure, Chris. I’m not an empath, and didn’t feel anything spooky while I was there. My friend who is, went there and got physically sick while walking near the circle, got better away from it. I’m glad I don’t have that “gift”. 🙂
@@AdventureswithRoger the circle looked like sacrifice altars for animals or children. I saw something like that in UK somewhere. The guy shows symbols of evil.
@@chrisblack8390 For a long time, there’s been talk of satanic cults in Brown County, using places like this, even if they didn’t create them. My cousin actually drove down a wrong road, and interrupted a gathering of people, in hooded robes!
I live in Bicknell Indiana 15 minutes NE of Vincenness and absolutely LOVE the history and have visited many of what you cover on your videos and plan on visiting others thanks to your videos. I feel lucky because majority of them are within an hour- hour and a half from my house. But idk if you’ve covered this or not , which I try to stay on top of the history that surrounds me . Near Sullivan Indiana I’ve recently found an Indian burial/ceremonial mound called Waapaahsiki Siipiiwi Mound Historical Park. It’s definitely worth a look . Which I’m an avid collector of Native American artifacts surface hunting. This place is the most serene place I’ve been to in a loooong time and I’m 56 . Thanks for creating this amazing channel
Thank-you, Rob! I’m working on a film about the mound builders, and Waapaahsiki came up: it’s on my list! You and I have it made. We live at places where both adventure and peace is very close at hand. I’ve never once regretted moving to southern Indiana. 🙂
@@AdventureswithRoger lived here all my life and love it . Been to George Rogers Clark memorial countless times and we have a spirit of vincennes rendezvous there with a re-enactments and an 18th century trade fair is really cool. . The ONLY place that may be my second favorite is hocking Hills Ohio and nearby places . In my opinion it’s the closest place to heaven. But still love my hometown though. Thank you for replying .🙂
@@AdventureswithRoger also. Them mound builders are next level interesting aren’t they? I can’t get enough of that stuff. I’ve been to several in Ohio and Newburg Indiana Angel Mounds and Cahokia. We have another one in vincennes besides sugar loaf it’s grown over and right beside a grain mill and not talked about much I forgot the name of it but, Can’t wait for your film.
@@RobHowell1 Didn’t get Cahokia in this year, but did get over to Ohio to get Fort Ancient and Miamisburg. It’s all very fascinating considering the South American cultural similarities.
@@AdventureswithRoger indeed! It’s a shame that many…… MANY of the mounds no matter where they are have been destroyed throughout time . And yea I’ve been to fort ancient and great circle earthworks and flint ridge and went to hocking hills 2 summers ago and had planned on serpent mound but time got lost in the beauty of Hocking Hills lol . When I tell you I can’t get enough…. I’m not kidding. My poor wife 😀 just kidding. She enjoys a lot of it .
LOVE THIS PLACE ❤I have spent many a days up there…and the one time I was there at night, I had an orange orb follow me down as I hiked back to the road….It was AMAZING
I believe people should be good to each other, even if they don’t agree. Common civility. You’d think the guidelines would make people think, “If I’m a jerk with my comments, everything I type will be erased, and I’ll never be able to comment again. It’s a waste of my time.” But they don’t. If the automated filters don’t catch them, I do.
One of my best friends is an empath. While I didn’t feel anything while I was there, she went here and felt dizzy in the center of those rocks. She said that much evil had been done there, even human sacrifice.
Love your videos Roger, this is the second I've felt compelled to comment on. Long ago this area was abused by people in four-wheel drive vehicles. There was an open trail that went from deep in the Deem wilderness through to Elkinsville. It's since been closed to motorized traffic but is still open for bikes and walking. It was a journey I rode my motorcycle on often as I saw many familiar things in your piece. I've been out there at all hours of the day and night. I had no idea of its history but for me it was a sort of right of passage that I made the trip to prove to myself I still had the necessary skills on whatever motorcycle I had at the time. I've always referred to the trail as the hell ride.
@Adventures with Roger The Deem side of the trail was the most abused which made the journey difficult. It was an inside joke to myself when I would come along and find young usually boys in large four-wheel vehicles that thought they were all alone to have an old fat man on a mini-bike ride through their gathering.
@@mikedaniels4638 I miss my mini bike! I met a guy in Indianapolis, that was big into dirt biking, told me about places in Indiana that he loved. He mounted a Go-Pro on the bike and said he was thinking about doing a TH-cam channel, but I’ve never seen it.
I have left a comment on the silver mine cave because I didn't know you had more videos....As you'll see my comment I will say the same thing here , that while I lived in Indiana it felt like spiritual matters were unsettled , and that there was something very ancient taken place there , and it feels like you're always being watched by ancient spirits, possibly the Nephilim
As you might imagine, I have a wealth of interesting friends, as I talk to many people. We’ve talked about perceived energies and ley lines. I’m not totally sold on the idea, but can tell you historic New Harmony feels like a large dome sits above the town, and muffles sound. It’s very peaceful. I thought I was just imagining it, as it’s a slower paced town, but then other people said the same thing. I don’t know what to make out of it. I have taken a good friend of mine, that’s an empath, to historic places, just to get her reaction. She’s become physically ill or felt like she wasn’t wanted at certain places. I’m glad I don’t have this ability.
@@atomspatch7632 I’ve been to New Harmony many times, and it always has a peaceful vibe. I thought it was just me, but others have said the same thing. Very cool place to visit.
Born and raised a Hoosier from Gary Indiana! It's a big hill in Gary Indiana on west 8th Ave by Bowamn Park that have a cement thing coming out of it that have writing on it u should check that out
Used to be a unimproved country road that ran the full length (Combs Rd, or BrowningMt Road depending on where you were from), spent many weekends with our 4x4 club camping in that area, set up camp one night close to the rock formations on a beautiful clear evening and out of nowhere, the weather turned and we could have sworn we were in the middle of a tornado. Ran back to our cars, got out of there and by the time we hit the fire tower, weather was perfect again, so we all camped at the horsemans camp.
@@AdventureswithRoger just being our normal annoying 20th somethings out camping. We did camp in that area a couple of other times with 0 issues, but never in that exact spot ever again.
Could’ve just been a freak gust I suppose. I was once southwest of Downtown Indianapolis, taking a backroad home to avoid horrible traffic. It went through some country and fields. Sunny day, no clouds, and from nowhere, a huge dust devil sprung up in an all dirt field. It looked like a genuine tornado with all that dust, but didn’t go above the tree line.
I’ve been wanting to do it for years. I’ve spoke to people who’ve climbed it and everyone says the same thing: it’s on private property and you have to trespass. I even contacted the Elisabeth town mayor, to see if he knew the owners and he didn’t.
It’s a thrill to find these cool places! After you leave Story, there’s a bridge to your left that goes nowhere, also called “the bridge to nowhere”. It has some sketchy folklore, someone mentioned a headless horseman, but I couldn’t find much on it. BIGGEST TIP: The roads are about the worst in Indiana, are not maintained. The asphalt section has deep potholes about every three feet. Take it slow! Rest of the road to Browning Mountain is dusty gravel. I didn’t fishtail, but went too fast and coated two riders on a motorcycle with dust. I stopped and let them go around.
@@AdventureswithRoger yep. I know the road your talking about ! Passed it many times, but always on rides with large groups. I need to go there just my wife and I…and in the truck. Really don’t want to put my bike through those conditions ! And thanks for the heads up on the road conditions !
@@jasjones6556 You two have fun up there! I talked to a couple on the ridge. They said if you hike a little further along the ridge, there’s a pond and even a well. I would guess they meant south, but I was exhausted and wanted to wrap-up and get dinner. Brozinni’s New York style pizza at Nashville was pretty amazing after all that! 🙂
The books are in the works. I wanted to do a really deep dive on Southern Indiana, so I was sure I didn’t miss anything. And as it works out, people keep sending me great ideas, and I find out I’ve still got a ways to go!
I've been to the top of Browning Mnt as a kid, it never occurred to me the stones were from human actions. I've camped at the remnants of the Elkinsville bridge over Salt creek the Govt. blew up to force the residents to move... The town was swallowed by Monroe Reservoir.
Before geologist John Collett got there, pioneers had taken stone from a long, prehistoric wall, that lined the top of the ridge, to build their homes. He still saw the large stones that looked like columns, and described them in the geological report
I've camped there several times, researched and studied it. The stones appear to have been manipulated and have cut marks. The question is when and why? No astronomical alignments can be found which are often present in structures of antiquity. I plan to go there again this year before the underbrush grows in to take more measurements.
From what I gathered, pioneers in the early 1800’s, either removed or moved what was here. They took down a long wall, stone pillars, and other quarried stones, to use for houses and other building projects. I would’ve loved to have seen what was here before changes were made!
@@AdventureswithRoger The local natives were never known for stone-works, just earth-works and wood-works... My speculation is that the stones were cut and moved to a convenient location, as the hill top was once a field and/or the stone-works are so ancient that they predate any known habitation of the area.
Local lore is that the stones were moved from a quarry over 30 miles away, as that type of limestone is not found in the area. I’d speculate that the stones were moved by a glacier, and cut / placed by prehistoric people. Unlike the pyramids in Egypt, there are no major waterways to move large stones, from places far away.
@@AdventureswithRoger I've only found one source, an old geology book, mentioning the limestone coming from a distant quarry. If that is the case, it is unlikely to have been moved by glaciers as the quarry is to the southwest of Browning Hill and glaciers generally only move objects southward. The plot thickens?
It does have a vibe. I’m no empath, but I actually felt good being there. My friend that is an empath, got dizzy in the circle, and said that bad things had happened there.
i REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS, BOTH THE PHOTOGRAPHY AND NARRATION. I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN KNOWING WHAT EQUIPMENT AND SOFTWARE YOU USED TO MAKE THESE VIDEOS. THANK YOU.
I have spent many nights up on the mountain. I’ve even hiked it by moonlight (during a super moon)…it’s one of my favorite places on earth…I reckon I’ve made friends with the watcher…I believe that Ancient Indians and Aliens put the stones up there.
I don’t know what to think of it, I didn’t get any vibes from it. But I have a theory about places like this one and others that are haunted. Some people aren’t empaths, not even a little bit. They can go to these places and make fun of people that have had frightening experiences. That’s not just very un-nice, but proves how thick-headed and numb they are to the unseen world. I am not an empath, but have stood next to people picking up all kinds of things, and respect them. If they say “this is a bad place”, we are gone. 🙂
You have the gift. Let me tell you how I became a believer in empaths. I took a picture of my ancestors 1850’s cabin, and took it to my family reunion. One of the ladies said, “Oh my gosh! Look at the old man, old woman and little boy on the porch!” I saw nothing, and neither did the majority of people there. Another lady walks up, sees the picture and says, “I see them!!!” And ghost stories immediately got generated at the reunion. So I sent the picture to my friend whom claims to be an empath. “Not gonna tell you what to look for, just tell me what you see.” I got a text message back. “I see an old woman in an old timey dress, an old man with a beard and suspenders, and a little boy.” Dead on. I’m convinced that empaths see and experience things that other people can’t.
Oh yes I climb Browning Mountain all the time. I can get ya there real quick. I dont take the trail. Ive walked up the side of Browning mountain at 3:30-4 am no flashlight and barefoot. There was a full super moon. I come up from below the rocks you see there.
The watcher man. Ive never heard it called that. But he is Native. He always lets me know he is there. There is no negative there. Positive ley lines. Ive not tried it but Ive heard its like the spring equinox all the time, where you can stand an egg up.
Clearly, this area was a hub, a hotspot of ancient activity. I am beginning to understand my need to get away a little better, because of occultic practices. When Mayan priests traveled to visit the serpent mound and perform some kind of ceremony in 2012, I knew evil had been here and horrible things had been done. I believe we will know the details someday.
super cool very interesting and kind of spooky! I wonder if these predated the Native Americans. there is so much more research and exploring that should be going on
No one really knows for certain. All I know is I wish I could’ve seen it before people started taking stones for buildings. One could speculate that it cursed the town of Elkinsville.
Further along the ridge is a well, a small pond and foundation stones from a cabin. Someone a few days ago said one stone was signed late 1890’s. As a very early account of the area mentioned a long stone wall, about 3 feet high, that’s now missing, it’s assumed that it was torn down to build the cabin foundation. There’s no agreement whether the pond and well were dug during pioneer times, or were already there and used by them.
DO YOU HAVE ANY THING ON MILAN, INDIANA?? NOT THE BASKETBALL TEAM THE "HOTEL" PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD 🌎 CAME TO MILAN FOR THE HEALING WATERS 💧 WOULD LOVE TO SEE ANY THING YOU HAVE.. YOUR CHANNEL IS AWESOME THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK 🙏
Hello Roger Browning Mt. is a beautiful place .if there was death there it is likely haunted i hope someone takes measurements to see if the stones line up with solstices and other aspects of the yearly markers
We may never know. Gobekli Tepe predates all known human history. But it was covered and preserved, unlike many Indiana prehistoric stone fortifications, that have suffered weathering. Be it a giant flood, magnetic pole shift, or both, we may never know who made these ancient structures.
Vincennes was inhabited by the French, in the late 1600’s. However, there’s disputed evidence that Vikings may have explored the area, much before that.
Yea , was there in 99. It has a feeling 2 the area. The air is different, almost like it feels easier 2 breathe. There is a small cave west of the stones. Unless u are skinny, I don't recommend. Cool place and it do have that native American vibe. Also i felt different up on top with the rocks. Like more energy or life was awesome or sumthin. Always wanted 2 go back but ima b ok not making that walk. Wild seeing this video. Pack plenty of weed. I feel like that was a spot for the peace pipe. IMHO Never seen any weird stuff though.
I wonder if there is any connection to the ancient people who made Serpent Mound in Peebles, Ohio a little over 3 hours away from the Indiana Stone Henge? Also if one believes in the ley lines we have 2 that go through Indiana. One is called The Serpent Ley Line that comes out of the Piolet Mount in the Appalachian mountains. It goes up here through the semi-northern part of Indiana. And then down in central-ish and southern Indiana one of the ley lines from the Pyramid Grid node looks like it goes through the general area of where the Hoosier Stone Henge is but I cannot tell for sure. It also appears to possibly be going through or near Delphi, Indiana where the horrible murders happened in 2017. Supposably, the ley lines can either help or hinder a person via a strong energy coming from it that strongly affects some people. For someone who is already super screwed in the head and chooses to be evil like that Delphi killer may possibly be affected by living on or near a layline but they can still control themselves and they still know what they are doing so ley lines are not excuses to do evil actions. Those lay lines do seem to have weird affects though. I cannot tell for sure but it looks like the ley line from the Piolet Mount is what affects Indiana. You can Google ley line maps for the world or a country. The Piolet Mt is the wheel that the Serpent ley line comes out of that reaches through Indiana. It makes me wonder about the happenings and knowledge that our ancient indigenous Americans had many many 1000s of years ago and what was life like for them in that time period when things that we now call super natural was a normal thing for people back then. Supposably the ley lines exude out energy that affects people, animals, nature. It can basically affect anything but especially people I'm told. It appears that for some people it affects people for the good and for others for the bad. And strangely enough the Pyramid Grid Node let line goes through New Albany, Indiana where those diabolical evil 4 teenage girls kidnapped a 12 year old kid and tortured and sexually assaulted the child and then they stripped her naked and threw her outside in the cold January weather and set her on fire until she died. That was in the early 1990s. The victim's name was Shanda Sharer. Sorry that I am rambling on and on. Thinking of who made the Hoosier Stonehenge made me think of who made the Serpent Mound and that reminded me of the Serpent Ley line that goes through Indiana and the one that come from the Pyramid. I am just wandering if there are any connections? 🤔🧐🤔
I have lightly studied the ley lines theory but find it fascinating. During my travels across Southern Indiana, I’ve noticed some places have a feeling of presence, and other people have agreed with me. My one friend, whom is an empath, got physically sick at the circle at Browning Mountain, said she felt an energy there, and felt a knife pierce her back, where Shanda’s body was found. I’m actually really glad I’m not an empath!
@@AdventureswithRoger Oh my gosh. That would have been horrible to feel that. Just reading the book literally made me feel sick and freaked out. Much of southern Indiana has a heaviness & darkness. I dunno why. There are lots of good people living down there. I don't think it is dark and heavy because of the people. I think it is because something very evil happened for long periods of time down there so long ago that there is no one alive any more that knows the story behind it. I know of people who live in southern Indiana who say the same thing especially the more south they go like along the Ohio River and into Kentucky.
@@BoJo5066 Sometimes I’ll learn some dark folklore about a place, and ask my friend, the empath, if she wants to tag along. She’s the insurance package that keeps me out of trouble. I always say the same thing, “You get a bad feeling about this place, say so and we’re gone.” She saw an orb at the big house rock cave, said it was friendly. When we visited the Electra airplane accident site, she got so dizzy that she staggered across the road and threw up. Some of the older Vincennes sites she felt a lot of death, but nothing evil. Me? I pick up on nothing and would like to keep it that way! 🙂
Have you ever visited New Harmony? The entire time I was filming there, I felt a hard to describe peace that surrounded me, like I was walking through it. I mentioned that briefly in the video, and several people concurred that they felt the same way, in the comments.
@@AdventureswithRoger I remember once doing an art show at a facility in Louisville. It used to be a meat packing place so the vibes were not too good to start with. I saw a wall down a back corridor with smoke damage all over it. Later, I asked the show director about the fire back there and he was stunned. He said the fire was years ago and had been painted over. 😱 Edit: Thought I posted this on an empath thread but then it seemed to show up on a completely different thread so trying to repost on another empath thread.
I’d heard about it from a few people, wanted to check it out for myself! It’s a pretty good hike. I did it when I was 45 pounds heavier, and let me tell you, it was rough getting up there! 😀
I’m an open-minded skeptic. When people say they know just how something happened, and can’t replicate it, I call it a theory. It might be true, but if they can’t duplicate the result, it opens the floor for other explanations. I think glaciers could have placed that limestone up there. But I don’t think it could cut the blocks and line similar shape ones in a row, and allow spacing for mortar. That makes me think people had something to do with it. The big, column-sized ones laying about? I’ve seen nearly perfect octagonal shaped ones created by nature, it doesn’t necessarily mean the “pillars” were quarried. Is their positioning suspect of human involvement? I don’t know.
I didn’t include the pond, well and later 1890 homestead, as they weren’t pertinent to the story, any more than the other abandoned buildings in Elkinsville. Here’s my reasoning. Some people propose a logical explanation, saying there is nothing unique about Browning Mountain, that it was just a pioneer homestead, stones were quarried locally, and then the place was abandoned. But they overlook some obvious things. The homestead stone said 1890. The state geologist surveyed Browning Mountain in 1875 and only mentioned the large blocks and pillars, strewn about the area. There was no mention of a homestead. The way the area was described in 1875, is largely what we see today, on the side of the summit. Any evidence of pioneer habitation was after the 1875 survey.
THAT might have been a figment of your imagination my good man,but from what I know of the Brown county area,and I spent a little time there,sinister characters clad in dark cloaks are a part of of the metaphysical aswell as the physical reality there.If any AWR veiwers are considering an outing on Browning Mountain, don't go alone(like our boy Roger is known to do from time to time apparently) network among yourselves,plan and go in large groups,ten or more if at all possible,and make it an early in the day expedition, {maybe burn a little white sage while you're there💨}and don't let the sun go back down, before you go back down and off of Browning Mountain.
Over my life I’ve heard of many cults around Brown and Monroe counties. My cousin and some friends heard of a meeting place, in the Brown county woods, and decided to crash the party. They drove into this compound with people all wearing hooded cloaks, panicked and hit the gas. And got stuck. The people in cloaks helped them get out of the ditch, and the group of daredevils floored it. True story.
@@AdventureswithRoger That's not the outcome I would have expected, personally I would like to hear more about that encounter, although I doubt if it had been me in that situation I would have been able to recall the first detail. I imagine any group sporting cloaks in the middle of the woods would be up to something of a secretive nature,but apparently not all are of the murderous type,maybe someone in the group knew the boys and convinced the rest to let them go? Either that or when the truck got stuck, the good o boy instinct over road the cult agenda and they acted accordingly? Thanks for that bonus tale of terror, and hospitality.
There’s a lot of Wicca (witch) groups in Indiana, it’s even formally recognized as a religion in the military. Some soldiers get it stamped on their name tags. I’ve actually met some Wiccan’s online, that watch my channel. Certainly odd / contrary to my beliefs, but they don’t have any sacrificial rites.
3×4 construction the blocks would interlock when laid one up , one down where else in the world 🌎 is this building technique used ?? Cyclopean or polygonal bricks used like that were earth quake proof and of very strong construction 🚧🏗️ methods ?? My quess ❓ middle eastern orgin .
Please note, these stones were rearranged from their original position. The present scene is staged, so don't try to arrive to such conclusions, regarding paranormal anomalies. Research its origins. It was much different then what is displayed today. It was known to be a burial ground.
The earliest settlers mentioned a stone wall about three feet high. And as you mentioned, the existing stones were moved to build house foundations and other structures. This activity was halted after a series of serious worker injuries.
You did catch something ghostly/otherly. At 6:20 just right of center there is a big tree leaning into another tree. The other tree is the one she is in front of. Black skirt, white blouse, dark scarf, dark hair. Zoom in of course. 😉 Whole body.
I believe what I can see and experience. I didn’t experience anything here, but I sure did at Tunnelton Tunnel: I even caught it, whatever it was, on camera.
I took my kids up there during Covid. 6 and 8 years old without problem. As for anything supernatural? no, ;). Has anyone inquired to IU geological department about it?
Most people don’t, I didn’t either. I still really enjoyed going up there and seeing it, as I’d heard about it for many years! It was documented by the Indiana geological survey, but I don’t have any information about an IU study. There’s a good chance one has been done, but there wouldn’t be much for conclusions: just rocks
The mess more murders in Crawford county 1950 or so would make great story messemore name of suspect bodies not found I lost family members vandiver Tommy and Wanda never seen again 🤠
Have been working on that story. The area is actually on private property, so it’s possible I could get dinged if I make a video and tons of people visit.
Even when I was six years old I loved the state of Indiana,I've been to a lot of different states but nothing compares to my great state of Indiana,I'm almost sixty four years old and I read and watch anything to do with this great state,There is a lot of famous people from this great state,Love your videos and stories,Do you know anything about east Oolitic spine cop is what my grandfather called it ,He was born and raised there it's in Lawrence county.
@@AdventureswithRoger my grandfather was born in east Oolitic it's across the bridge and it was named after a famous battle in ww one I'm not sure if I spelled it correctly I always heard spine kop or cop I'll have to look it up,But I was told it was a rough place to go live lol.
@@AdventureswithRoger Roger it was named after a famous war war two battle and it's called spine kopj in honor of the second Boer War,It was platted in in 1900 It's called Spien Kopj east Oolitic it is down cross the bridge..I've heard a lot of stories that is was a rough place back in the day

You've got this down cold. A real talent, that brings Indiana to life.
Thank-you, John!
This is a fantastic video. The attention to the history and natural beauty of my home state. It is awesome. - Most that haven't explored Indiana just think it is flat and just cornfields but it is so much more than that!
Deep, Southern Indiana, is an epiphany to many people that live only 2 hours north. Rolling hills and valleys, museums, tall waterfalls, show caves, wild caves, beautiful waterfronts along the Ohio River, 1800’s mansions, the historic first state capital, first theme park in the United States, and incredible Eden’s, hidden in rocky canyons.
I have lived in Indiana all my life and have never heard of this place. Thanks for sharing
My pleasure, Brinda!
I went here with my BFF and it was a magical experience. As soon as we arrived, a local field dog came to greet us and was our personal tour guide. I named him melon affectionately. Myths and legends aside, what a peaceful area. The whole of Monroe lake and forests have a particular feel to them no where else. I think there is magic there.
I also thought it was really peaceful up there. Met some nice people too!
Wow!! Excellent video!! Thank you Roger!
My pleasure, Cynthia! Definitely a cardio workout to get to the top! 🙂
Mr.Miller, who lives at the bottom of Browning Mountain is about all thats left in the area who has been there for quite awhile. My friends family still has property in the area, so as a teenager I would spend several weeks a year exploring the hills and hollers of the area, fishing salt creek and hunting in the fall. I camped many many nights ontop of Browning Mountain fishing the small fire ponds and frog gigging. A beautiful place where the rocks are, a great vantage point as well, everytime I walked in the area a sense of something, I just always felt just pure peace there. Great video
I love hearing peoples stories, about places I’ve covered! As a visitor, I can’t know the full history, and always enjoy them. Thanks for telling yours!
I’ve been to many places, like Browning Mountain, that some say are haunted by Indian / ancient spirits. So far, I’ve always felt at peace. Someone told me that maybe it’s because I “have Indian blood”, and they recognize me. 😀 My explanation: I’m just at peace everywhere, location doesn’t matter.
@@AdventureswithRoger I agree, I dont believe u need to be a native to feel the connection to nature. I believe it is a gift when a person can sense things. The beautiful animals of Indianas hardwoods possess these senses, I have studied, hunted and admired the whitetailed deer and let me tell u, they have a 6th sense. The very first place I hunted as a child with my Dad was across the holler from Browning Mountain back in 1978. Indiana has many many beautiful places and areas to explore, thank you for making these terrific videos showing us those things.
Working on what I hope is a wonderful tribute to Corydon / Harrison County. Hoping to finish filming of Crawford County this weekend, but it’s all about the sun! 🙂
If u know what ur looking at then u can see the energy moving through the trees and bushes, particularly around 1:50 in video. Easily mistaken for the wind, energy is causing the movement in the bush beside the stone marker NOT wind. The leaves seem to vibrate almost dance and look like electrified by some unseen force. The difference in the wind energy and that of the etheric is so slight that it often goes undetected. However, I can see and feel energy, work with certain energy techniques for healing purposes. I have been sensitive to these things all my life and increasingly so in the last few years. U can see the energy again at 4:25 in video. The leaves appear to giggle as opposed to air moving them. I spend many hours observing this activity and find that wherever ur attention goes the energy will follow. U can try this for urself by going outside and looking at a tree observing the movement etc then focus on another tree or plant really anything in nature responds to the human consciousness. Continue to shift ur attention to different things and see how the energy increases as u give it ur attention. There's also an increase in the wind energy during this time so u can distinguish the etheric from wind.
There is a rock wall in Texas over 60 feet tall and 17 miles long. "Experts" tried to say it's natural. Except when it was excavated, they found doorways in it and iron rings attached to it. Rings that don't rust. It was found over 100 years ago when a man was digging a well. That's why the town is named Rockwell Texas.
I’d seen a film about that, incredibly interesting. There’s also the very long East Bay Wall in California that runs a very long way.
I live in Northeast Indiana. I've learned so much from you about our great state!
My pleasure, Ruby! When it comes to details, our state is deep! 🙂
I do too. I enjoy his videos.
I love channels like yours. Your uploads are not every hour,every day on & on but instead, darn good stuff! Thanks !!
Great job on this video. I've been to Indiana Stonehenge twice. I respect native American beliefs and have several friends among the IN Miami. My goal was to record myself playing a native American flute in the circle. When I arrived on the road, a heavy rainstorm raged for over an hour before I climbed the hill alone to the stones. At the top I was sure the Watcher was observing me. I checked out the henge and the stones littering the steep hillside. Something told me not to bring my camcorder inside the circle, and I set it up just outside of it. Spiritual Energy was thick and tangible everywhere.
The heat produced a wet haze when I entered the circle after turning on the camcorder. I played whatever came to mind on my flute when a loud crack came from a huge limb falling from a tree very close by. The Watcher? Something urged me to keep playing as I watched a tree's limbs bouncing up and down. Once finished, I noticed the haze was gone! The watched "Feeling" had eased, though the strong Spiritual Energy remained constant. You can view the video I took on You Tube under my name, Ginger Karns.
Very cool story!
I live right outside Columbus near Westport IN. Burnsville township is about 2 miles from my house, maybe less. About 5 mins from Anderson Falls (a place you should cover if you haven't!!! I have videos on my channel.) I was looking up the archeological records from Bartholomew County and found out right here somewhere between my house and Burnsville (a glorified 4 way stop with houses and a church) a burial ground was unearthed containing giant skeletons. The creek that runs along this, the only hilly spot in Bartholomew County, and behind my house is likely where Indians made settlements in the area because it is idyllic here. Anderson Falls is most certainly enchanted. They say this area and especially 40 sq miles around Anderson Falls are a geological anomaly.
My husband's family owns a large section of land right outside Nashville where the whole family has lived for generations. I believe Story Inn is right near the turn off to get to his family's remote "neighborhood."
Did Anderson Falls:

Had heard of the giant bones up there, will eventually do a story. Hoping to first find the newspaper clippings.
@@AdventureswithRoger You are so awesome!! I'm from Key West FL (but lived all over Fl) and only moved here 8 years ago having never been to Indiana. I had no idea how beautiful Southern Indiana and Columbus are. Ever since moving here I've been thinking it's a shame how few people know about the region (although that's surely more a blessing than a curse!)
I haven't been North of Indianapolis but honestly from what I've seen the farther North you get from Columbus the more you realize where Indiana got its lackluster reputation from. Southern Indiana is like a different world and incredibly lovely.
I've been all the way to the Terre Haute area to see the Exotic Feline Rescue Center. That place is worth twice the drive just to visit! I've never seen such friendly and welcoming tigers and the animals all have wonderfully huge enclosures and are clearly well loved given their friendly dispositions. And the walk is fun because it's like walking through a winding, narrow jungle trail between massive enclosures where the majority of the cats, especisllu the tigers, enjoy coming right up to the fence to greet you and walk along with you the length of their enclosures. I'm gonna go through all your videos for sure but just wanted to mention that place because they could always use the publicity and potential donations.
I grew up just south of Indianapolis. My parents were big into weekend day trips, and we saw so much of Indiana, particularly the southern portion. After Dad died, we didn’t travel a great deal, but once I got a job, I was looking for places on the map, and went all over the state with my Mom, brother, and friends.
The thing about northern Indiana, is that it’s incredibly flat, and although there are some great tourist attractions, they are extremely spread out. I’m hoping to cover all the main northern Indiana tourist attractions in 2022: I believe people will be amazed at what’s in their own backyard.
There are a few southern Indiana tourist attractions that I’ve refused to cover, not because they aren’t good, but because they aren’t family friendly priced. Two in particular would cost a family of four between $350 to $500 for only a few hours entertainment: you might as well save for Florida! My favorite places are those that can consume a day with fun activities, and are either free or nearly so. I’ll definitely look into the feline rescue!
There are certain places that when I go to visit, I show an enormous amount of respect to. Any place with graves happens to be one of those places. I’ve had some strange things happen in graveyards. That feeling like you are being watched and there are guardians is very strongly felt. I do not step on graves. I actually walk right above the headstone, as I feel this is the best suited place. I ask permission for everything. I take nothing for granted. I let my intentions and purpose be known at the entrance/gates. I know that sounds weird. But when you have had things happen that you just can’t explain realistically, you tread lightly. I hope you understand.
I think I understand, Doc. I go to graveyards and talk to family members only. I have no idea if they can hear me, but it gives me peace, to share what’s going on in my life. I know of people that go to graveyards, hoping to make a connection to the dead, people that aren’t related to them, or just to experience something spooky. Those people are asking for trouble. Sometimes, you can take a spirit home with you, and it has no intention of being a nice guest, or ever leaving.
While I have never felt a presence in a graveyard, that may only be because I’m not an empath. I know two empaths, and they often have to leave certain places, as all of the dead know they can talk to them and be heard.
@@AdventureswithRoger You are correct. It’s like being a bug zapper on at night. Everyone notices you.
It's not limited to the grave sites. That land was taken from us by the state. Unfortunately, causing a divide between the family.. but that's another story. Ike Shipley Road, Shipley Hollow Rd, Elkinsville, and another family cemetery back in the woods is the only thing that's left of the family we had 150yrs ago. I feel at home in those woods. Lol, don't be scared. Just respect the land.
I was allowed to visit an upper floor of an old building that was like a private museum, in the vicinity of Mt Shasta in northern California. The owner had his grand daughter unlock a door to the upper level, and I went up a stairway into a large room that contained antique items of many types, a handmade parquet wood floor, old dining booths along the sides, and massive paintings of the scenery around the place. As I began to explore I felt I was being watched by an unseen observer. I had no history or experience with paranormal anything, so this was a new sensation. I spoke in a calm voice with words unrehearsed, "I intend no harm and I will be respectful. I just enjoy seeing these fine things, then I will leave everything as is". A sense of easy calm followed, and I did what I said. Whatever prompted me to speak up steered me right.
Sound wisdom, we should all tread a little gentler on the path in front of us as we make our way through this life in general,reverence is a dying art.
I grew up in brown county and never knew of this place because you your videos my 10 year old son have made a list of places to go and went here yesterday 3.13.24. So awesome. Thank you.
My pleasure! When my brother and I were kids, our parents took us to all kinds of great places in Indiana. My hope is that people will watch these videos and travel to make memories! 🙂
Awesome story, great filming 🎥 it was the perfect time of year for the visit.🍂🍁🍂
It was perfect weather, all around!
Great video. I must go there in the spring
Thanks Roger I've been waiting for this one. I've been there many times and have experienced some kooky stuff. My firm belief is the site is far more ancient than anyone has dated it to be. In the fall if the leaves blow off of the slope you can clearly see a cobblestone road going down the front of the slope. This indicates a fortification to me. it would be wonderful to have Scott Wolter attempt to date it.
@@candacebradshaw2315 The easiest way to find it is to find Nashville, Indiana on a map, go east on 46, go south on 135 to Story. From Story go west on Elkinsville Road until it T’s at Comb’s Rd: go left. You’ll cross a bridge and see a house on your right with a pioneer fence, then the trailhead on your right. Trailhead is not well marked but is worn down during active hiking months. Trail goes way way up to the summit, then T’s: go right until you reach the edge of summit and you’ll see the rocks.
Does anyone know if anyone has did a good LiDAR scan on the area? Stuff like a cobblestone road would be very clear. I am thinking about making a trip this week to see this. I live in Carmel and went to IU and yet have never seen this area. Fascinating! I would like to get a solid answer on the limestone.
I went up there and saw the campsite a month or so ago. Nothing paranormal happened. It was a neat hike and I’d love to camp up there. Ive been exploring the bottomlands in Maumee quite a bit since I first found out about it a year ago. That whole area is intriguing and I’d love to know more about it’s history. I will say, no other plot of land in Deam’s has attracted me more. When the leave’s aren’t thick, you can actually see Browning Hill from the Sycamore Ridge trail. It’s a beautiful morning sight.
When I was there, I didn’t experience anything, and someone had even pitched a tent about 50 feet from the rocks. My friend went, who’s been a sensitive since she was a kid: she picked up all kinds of impressions, got light headed / sick feeling near the center of that rock ring. Some of us just don’t have the ability, and that suits me fine! I don’t want it.
As a skeptic who tries to have an open mind, I’ve tested my friend at many other places. Even at places where she had no clue what the history was, and I’d read specifics from police reports, she was able to tell me what happened with remarkable accuracy, just by walking around.
Again, I enjoy history and folklore, but am glad to walk through this life, oblivious to many unseen things! 🙂
My family’s farmland is under Maumee. The Arthur’s and Browns. I’ve seen pics of the house where she grew up. I’m nostalgic therefore I felt something I can’t explain knowing entire families history was drowned.
I’ve seen videos of when the water was low, and you could see house foundations. While the corp of engineers say they moved entire cemeteries, it’s a safe bet that they didn’t move everyone: there are too many unmarked graves.
Thank you I would like to go visit and feel the power of the elders
It's actually pretty easy to find, my family cemetery is in Elkinsville. We've got a lot of history in those hills.
Another great video about lost Indiana history. 👍 👍 👍 👍
Thanks, Michael!
I'm not going there for sure! I'm so glad you did so i could see it. Thanks for taking me along.
My pleasure, Chris. I’m not an empath, and didn’t feel anything spooky while I was there. My friend who is, went there and got physically sick while walking near the circle, got better away from it. I’m glad I don’t have that “gift”. 🙂
@@AdventureswithRoger the circle looked like sacrifice altars for animals or children. I saw something like that in UK somewhere. The guy shows symbols of evil.
@@chrisblack8390 For a long time, there’s been talk of satanic cults in Brown County, using places like this, even if they didn’t create them. My cousin actually drove down a wrong road, and interrupted a gathering of people, in hooded robes!
@@AdventureswithRoger Evansville too. An mud lavia too at the lithium resort. Michigan city too. Thats alot of satanic people in our state.
Another great video, Roger!
Thank-you, Rusty!
Great video as all your videos 🤗
I'm from FL, love the content!
Welcome, Sylvester!
As usual, excellent content! I’m so glad you make these videos so I can see things I’d never other wise see!
I live in Bicknell Indiana 15 minutes NE of Vincenness and absolutely LOVE the history and have visited many of what you cover on your videos and plan on visiting others thanks to your videos. I feel lucky because majority of them are within an hour- hour and a half from my house.
But idk if you’ve covered this or not , which I try to stay on top of the history that surrounds me .
Near Sullivan Indiana I’ve recently found an Indian burial/ceremonial mound called
Waapaahsiki Siipiiwi Mound Historical Park.
It’s definitely worth a look .
Which I’m an avid collector of Native American artifacts surface hunting. This place is the most serene place I’ve been to in a loooong time and I’m 56 .
Thanks for creating this amazing channel
Thank-you, Rob! I’m working on a film about the mound builders, and Waapaahsiki came up: it’s on my list!
You and I have it made. We live at places where both adventure and peace is very close at hand. I’ve never once regretted moving to southern Indiana. 🙂
@@AdventureswithRoger lived here all my life and love it . Been to George Rogers Clark memorial countless times and we have a spirit of vincennes rendezvous there with a re-enactments and an 18th century trade fair is really cool. .
The ONLY place that may be my second favorite is hocking Hills Ohio and nearby places . In my opinion it’s the closest place to heaven. But still love my hometown though.
Thank you for replying .🙂
@@AdventureswithRoger also. Them mound builders are next level interesting aren’t they? I can’t get enough of that stuff. I’ve been to several in Ohio and Newburg Indiana Angel Mounds and Cahokia. We have another one in vincennes besides sugar loaf it’s grown over and right beside a grain mill and not talked about much I forgot the name of it but, Can’t wait for your film.
@@RobHowell1 Didn’t get Cahokia in this year, but did get over to Ohio to get Fort Ancient and Miamisburg. It’s all very fascinating considering the South American cultural similarities.
@@AdventureswithRoger indeed! It’s a shame that many…… MANY of the mounds no matter where they are have been destroyed throughout time . And yea I’ve been to fort ancient and great circle earthworks and flint ridge and went to hocking hills 2 summers ago and had planned on serpent mound but time got lost in the beauty of Hocking Hills lol . When I tell you I can’t get enough…. I’m not kidding. My poor wife 😀 just kidding. She enjoys a lot of it .
another great video Rodger, can't wait to hear more.👏
Thanks, Jack!
Another awesome history lesson, great job Roger!
Thanks for another interesting video!
My pleasure, Babs!
Indiana is an interesting place . Lived here my whole life . The caves in S Indiana are another cool feature .
Totally agree! What started as a three month project, to document southern Indiana, has turned into over 5 years and 150 videos.
@@AdventureswithRoger there's a Stonehenge in Brazil In from In limestone. Quite impressive .
There is one I did a story about, called “Paul Henge”, but I didn’t know about this one! Thank-you!
Thak you so much it's always a interesting piece that you present
Thank-you, Debbie! Doing my best to find some good ones! 🙂
LOVE THIS PLACE ❤I have spent many a days up there…and the one time I was there at night, I had an orange orb follow me down as I hiked back to the road….It was AMAZING
Whoa!
Love the guide lines, wish others will follow suit.👍😊
I believe people should be good to each other, even if they don’t agree. Common civility. You’d think the guidelines would make people think, “If I’m a jerk with my comments, everything I type will be erased, and I’ll never be able to comment again. It’s a waste of my time.” But they don’t. If the automated filters don’t catch them, I do.
Outstanding story. I look forward to visiting and will pay respect to the forest and mountain spirits. Even though I don't believe in such things.
If you don’t leave trash, everyone’s happy. 😀
I grew up in elkisville i ran all over those woods there's a lot of high strangeness
How interesting! Never heard of this.
It is a “very strenuous” hike. Much more so than I’d anticipated!
@@AdventureswithRoger sound like our trek to Rainbow Falls in Gatlinburg! Not a simple little hike!
Really neat documentary. I’m a empath so I don’t go certain places. You should always ask the spirits for permission before you enter.
One of my best friends is an empath. While I didn’t feel anything while I was there, she went here and felt dizzy in the center of those rocks. She said that much evil had been done there, even human sacrifice.
Sounds like an interesting place. Thank you for video
It’s an intriguing place, but surely one of the worst hikes in Southern Indiana. I rank it right up there with Charlestowns Rose Island.
@@AdventureswithRoger I'm a veteran extreme hiker. Been wanting to get to Rose Island too. Heard DNR frowns on unescorted visitors to Rose Island
@@geraldmeehan8942 For a fact, both will tell you if you're in shape or not, in a hurry! =)
Love your videos Roger, this is the second I've felt compelled to comment on. Long ago this area was abused by people in four-wheel drive vehicles. There was an open trail that went from deep in the Deem wilderness through to Elkinsville. It's since been closed to motorized traffic but is still open for bikes and walking. It was a journey I rode my motorcycle on often as I saw many familiar things in your piece. I've been out there at all hours of the day and night. I had no idea of its history but for me it was a sort of right of passage that I made the trip to prove to myself I still had the necessary skills on whatever motorcycle I had at the time. I've always referred to the trail as the hell ride.
It sounds much like the Hemlock Cliffs area! While I didn’t see motorized evidence at either place, I hear it still happens at Hemlock.
@Adventures with Roger The Deem side of the trail was the most abused which made the journey difficult. It was an inside joke to myself when I would come along and find young usually boys in large four-wheel vehicles that thought they were all alone to have an old fat man on a mini-bike ride through their gathering.
@@mikedaniels4638 I miss my mini bike! I met a guy in Indianapolis, that was big into dirt biking, told me about places in Indiana that he loved. He mounted a Go-Pro on the bike and said he was thinking about doing a TH-cam channel, but I’ve never seen it.

You should do a video on pilots know and the witches grave in ky.. it's about 1.15 hrs from Evansville. The abandoned town and stories are interesting
Hey, I like your videos!
I do what I can! 🙂
I have left a comment on the silver mine cave because I didn't know you had more videos....As you'll see my comment I will say the same thing here , that while I lived in Indiana it felt like spiritual matters were unsettled , and that there was something very ancient taken place there , and it feels like you're always being watched by ancient spirits, possibly the Nephilim
As you might imagine, I have a wealth of interesting friends, as I talk to many people. We’ve talked about perceived energies and ley lines. I’m not totally sold on the idea, but can tell you historic New Harmony feels like a large dome sits above the town, and muffles sound. It’s very peaceful. I thought I was just imagining it, as it’s a slower paced town, but then other people said the same thing. I don’t know what to make out of it.
I have taken a good friend of mine, that’s an empath, to historic places, just to get her reaction. She’s become physically ill or felt like she wasn’t wanted at certain places. I’m glad I don’t have this ability.
New harmony has such a very spiritual root! I adore the history of the place there's mounds in the new harmony state park area although not cherished
@@atomspatch7632 I’ve been to New Harmony many times, and it always has a peaceful vibe. I thought it was just me, but others have said the same thing. Very cool place to visit.
Born and raised a Hoosier from Gary Indiana! It's a big hill in Gary Indiana on west 8th Ave by Bowamn Park that have a cement thing coming out of it that have writing on it u should check that out
Hey there, Ron! What does it look like?
Some things are lost in time and we will never no the answer.
Used to be a unimproved country road that ran the full length (Combs Rd, or BrowningMt Road depending on where you were from), spent many weekends with our 4x4 club camping in that area, set up camp one night close to the rock formations on a beautiful clear evening and out of nowhere, the weather turned and we could have sworn we were in the middle of a tornado. Ran back to our cars, got out of there and by the time we hit the fire tower, weather was perfect again, so we all camped at the horsemans camp.
Now THAT’S wild! Were you being noisy, joking around, doing anything a “watcher” would find bad behavior?
@@AdventureswithRoger just being our normal annoying 20th somethings out camping. We did camp in that area a couple of other times with 0 issues, but never in that exact spot ever again.
Could’ve just been a freak gust I suppose. I was once southwest of Downtown Indianapolis, taking a backroad home to avoid horrible traffic. It went through some country and fields. Sunny day, no clouds, and from nowhere, a huge dust devil sprung up in an all dirt field. It looked like a genuine tornado with all that dust, but didn’t go above the tree line.
Bravo Roger!
Thanks, Sam!
Question. Can you do a segment on captain Frank's tomb in Floyd's knobs?
I’ve been wanting to do it for years. I’ve spoke to people who’ve climbed it and everyone says the same thing: it’s on private property and you have to trespass. I even contacted the Elisabeth town mayor, to see if he knew the owners and he didn’t.
Very interesting.....thanks for sharing.
My pleasure!
I’ve been there and it was anti-climatic but very cool nonetheless. Great video
Adding this to my list of places to visit. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying your content sir. Keep ‘em coming !
It’s a thrill to find these cool places! After you leave Story, there’s a bridge to your left that goes nowhere, also called “the bridge to nowhere”. It has some sketchy folklore, someone mentioned a headless horseman, but I couldn’t find much on it.
BIGGEST TIP: The roads are about the worst in Indiana, are not maintained. The asphalt section has deep potholes about every three feet. Take it slow! Rest of the road to Browning Mountain is dusty gravel. I didn’t fishtail, but went too fast and coated two riders on a motorcycle with dust. I stopped and let them go around.
@@AdventureswithRoger yep. I know the road your talking about ! Passed it many times, but always on rides with large groups. I need to go there just my wife and I…and in the truck. Really don’t want to put my bike through those conditions !
And thanks for the heads up on the road conditions !
@@jasjones6556 You two have fun up there! I talked to a couple on the ridge. They said if you hike a little further along the ridge, there’s a pond and even a well. I would guess they meant south, but I was exhausted and wanted to wrap-up and get dinner. Brozinni’s New York style pizza at Nashville was pretty amazing after all that! 🙂
@@AdventureswithRoger good to know ! And yep that's good pizza right there !
Indigenous peoples were here tens of thousands of years before Europeans even believed the world was round.
Have you written any books about Indiana? I'd love to read some if you have. Thanks for the fun videos!
The books are in the works. I wanted to do a really deep dive on Southern Indiana, so I was sure I didn’t miss anything. And as it works out, people keep sending me great ideas, and I find out I’ve still got a ways to go!
Very interesting.
This place looks familiar. I think I was there years ago🐝🤗❤️
I've been to the top of Browning Mnt as a kid, it never occurred to me the stones were from human actions. I've camped at the remnants of the Elkinsville bridge over Salt creek the Govt. blew up to force the residents to move... The town was swallowed by Monroe Reservoir.
Before geologist John Collett got there, pioneers had taken stone from a long, prehistoric wall, that lined the top of the ridge, to build their homes. He still saw the large stones that looked like columns, and described them in the geological report
I've camped there several times, researched and studied it. The stones appear to have been manipulated and have cut marks. The question is when and why? No astronomical alignments can be found which are often present in structures of antiquity. I plan to go there again this year before the underbrush grows in to take more measurements.
From what I gathered, pioneers in the early 1800’s, either removed or moved what was here. They took down a long wall, stone pillars, and other quarried stones, to use for houses and other building projects. I would’ve loved to have seen what was here before changes were made!
@@AdventureswithRoger The local natives were never known for stone-works, just earth-works and wood-works... My speculation is that the stones were cut and moved to a convenient location, as the hill top was once a field and/or the stone-works are so ancient that they predate any known habitation of the area.
Local lore is that the stones were moved from a quarry over 30 miles away, as that type of limestone is not found in the area. I’d speculate that the stones were moved by a glacier, and cut / placed by prehistoric people. Unlike the pyramids in Egypt, there are no major waterways to move large stones, from places far away.
@@AdventureswithRoger I've only found one source, an old geology book, mentioning the limestone coming from a distant quarry. If that is the case, it is unlikely to have been moved by glaciers as the quarry is to the southwest of Browning Hill and glaciers generally only move objects southward. The plot thickens?
@@medicmule I do love a mystery!
Man, I wish I watched this video so I could see where the entrance was before I drove 2 hours for nothing.
I've been up there. Has a certain vibe. Only place I've ever seen hair ice
It does have a vibe. I’m no empath, but I actually felt good being there. My friend that is an empath, got dizzy in the circle, and said that bad things had happened there.
I got to go here!
It’s a good hike! Now that the leaves have fallen, I’ll bet the view is awesome!
i REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS, BOTH THE PHOTOGRAPHY AND NARRATION. I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN KNOWING WHAT EQUIPMENT AND SOFTWARE YOU USED TO MAKE THESE VIDEOS. THANK YOU.

I have spent many nights up on the mountain. I’ve even hiked it by moonlight (during a super moon)…it’s one of my favorite places on earth…I reckon I’ve made friends with the watcher…I believe that Ancient Indians and Aliens put the stones up there.
I don’t know what to think of it, I didn’t get any vibes from it. But I have a theory about places like this one and others that are haunted. Some people aren’t empaths, not even a little bit. They can go to these places and make fun of people that have had frightening experiences. That’s not just very un-nice, but proves how thick-headed and numb they are to the unseen world.
I am not an empath, but have stood next to people picking up all kinds of things, and respect them. If they say “this is a bad place”, we are gone. 🙂
You have the gift. Let me tell you how I became a believer in empaths.
I took a picture of my ancestors 1850’s cabin, and took it to my family reunion. One of the ladies said, “Oh my gosh! Look at the old man, old woman and little boy on the porch!” I saw nothing, and neither did the majority of people there. Another lady walks up, sees the picture and says, “I see them!!!” And ghost stories immediately got generated at the reunion. So I sent the picture to my friend whom claims to be an empath. “Not gonna tell you what to look for, just tell me what you see.” I got a text message back. “I see an old woman in an old timey dress, an old man with a beard and suspenders, and a little boy.” Dead on.
I’m convinced that empaths see and experience things that other people can’t.
This sight probably predates the great flood.
There is a place in New Hampshire That is called the stone hendge of NH. It was on TV about around 5 years ago or more.
There is one at the bottom of Lake Michigan too! Fascinating stuff
Oh yes I climb Browning Mountain all the time. I can get ya there real quick. I dont take the trail. Ive walked up the side of Browning mountain at 3:30-4 am no flashlight and barefoot. There was a full super moon. I come up from below the rocks you see there.
The watcher man. Ive never heard it called that. But he is Native. He always lets me know he is there. There is no negative there. Positive ley lines. Ive not tried it but Ive heard its like the spring equinox all the time, where you can stand an egg up.
What are some of your experiences / impressions? For all the mystery and legends, I just felt a pleasant day on a hill. But, I’m not an empath.
Yikes! That tree did look ominous
Especially at 1 am and eyes getting blurry! 😀
Clearly, this area was a hub, a hotspot of ancient activity. I am beginning to understand my need to get away a little better, because of occultic practices. When Mayan priests traveled to visit the serpent mound and perform some kind of ceremony in 2012, I knew evil had been here and horrible things had been done. I believe we will know the details someday.
super cool very interesting and kind of spooky! I wonder if these predated the Native Americans. there is so much more research and exploring that should be going on
No one really knows for certain. All I know is I wish I could’ve seen it before people started taking stones for buildings. One could speculate that it cursed the town of Elkinsville.
There is a rock foundation with a well up there. Do you have any history about it?
Further along the ridge is a well, a small pond and foundation stones from a cabin. Someone a few days ago said one stone was signed late 1890’s. As a very early account of the area mentioned a long stone wall, about 3 feet high, that’s now missing, it’s assumed that it was torn down to build the cabin foundation. There’s no agreement whether the pond and well were dug during pioneer times, or were already there and used by them.
DO YOU HAVE ANY THING ON MILAN, INDIANA??
NOT THE BASKETBALL TEAM
THE "HOTEL" PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD 🌎 CAME TO MILAN FOR THE HEALING WATERS 💧
WOULD LOVE TO SEE ANY THING YOU HAVE..
YOUR CHANNEL IS AWESOME
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK 🙏
Have not filmed at Milan, but am writing a screenplay about Indiana’s mineral water craze. I will look into Milan!
Something just like this in new castle. Much more defined and noticeable though.
What kind of camera do you use for the films? Do you have a special editing program to put everything together?
Just an iPhone and a Mac Mini
There’s a well up on top of mountain also, hand dug, so that was many years ago that it occupied
There’s also a small pond, but I don’t the history of either one
Hello Roger Browning Mt. is a beautiful place .if there was death there it is likely haunted i hope someone takes measurements to see if the stones line up with solstices and other aspects of the yearly markers
@@raymondtonns2521 I tried to map Browning Mountain with other unusual structures in Indiana: no clear pattern yet.
Are there any writings or pictures on them?
I didn’t see any. No one else has posted anything about pictures.
Those woods are ancient . The ancients are the wind and water of the area you can feel them there .
The area definitely has a vibe, though not everyone is sensitive to it.
I wonder if this area is antideluvian wreckage from preflood
We may never know. Gobekli Tepe predates all known human history. But it was covered and preserved, unlike many Indiana prehistoric stone fortifications, that have suffered weathering. Be it a giant flood, magnetic pole shift, or both, we may never know who made these ancient structures.

That's double or nothin area werewolve lane meets lovers lane..spot on here 🎯
Indiana has been being settled since the 1700s.
Vincennes was inhabited by the French, in the late 1600’s. However, there’s disputed evidence that Vikings may have explored the area, much before that.
Yea , was there in 99. It has a feeling 2 the area. The air is different, almost like it feels easier 2 breathe. There is a small cave west of the stones. Unless u are skinny, I don't recommend. Cool place and it do have that native American vibe. Also i felt different up on top with the rocks. Like more energy or life was awesome or sumthin. Always wanted 2 go back but ima b ok not making that walk. Wild seeing this video. Pack plenty of weed. I feel like that was a spot for the peace pipe. IMHO Never seen any weird stuff though.
I was there a few months ago. Where's the cave????? I plan on going back. I thought it was creepy there weren't any nature sounds, no birds...
@@MCOGBDOG to the west of the stones going g down the hill. Beware, it's not really a cave you should go into. A large man could get stuck.
I wonder if there is any connection to the ancient people who made Serpent Mound in Peebles, Ohio a little over 3 hours away from the Indiana Stone Henge?
Also if one believes in the ley lines we have 2 that go through Indiana. One is called The Serpent Ley Line that comes out of the Piolet Mount in the Appalachian mountains. It goes up here through the semi-northern part of Indiana.
And then down in central-ish and southern Indiana one of the ley lines from the Pyramid Grid node looks like it goes through the general area of where the Hoosier Stone Henge is but I cannot tell for sure. It also appears to possibly be going through or near Delphi, Indiana where the horrible murders happened in 2017.
Supposably, the ley lines can either help or hinder a person via a strong energy coming from it that strongly affects some people. For someone who is already super screwed in the head and chooses to be evil like that Delphi killer may possibly be affected by living on or near a layline but they can still control themselves and they still know what they are doing so ley lines are not excuses to do evil actions.
Those lay lines do seem to have weird affects though. I cannot tell for sure but it looks like the ley line from the Piolet Mount is what affects Indiana.
You can Google ley line maps for the world or a country. The Piolet Mt is the wheel that the Serpent ley line comes out of that reaches through Indiana.
It makes me wonder about the happenings and knowledge that our ancient indigenous Americans had many many 1000s of years ago and what was life like for them in that time period when things that we now call super natural was a normal thing for people back then.
Supposably the ley lines exude out energy that affects people, animals, nature. It can basically affect anything but especially people I'm told. It appears that for some people it affects people for the good and for others for the bad.
And strangely enough the Pyramid Grid Node let line goes through New Albany, Indiana where those diabolical evil 4 teenage girls kidnapped a 12 year old kid and tortured and sexually assaulted the child and then they stripped her naked and threw her outside in the cold January weather and set her on fire until she died. That was in the early 1990s. The victim's name was Shanda Sharer.
Sorry that I am rambling on and on. Thinking of who made the Hoosier Stonehenge made me think of who made the Serpent Mound and that reminded me of the Serpent Ley line that goes through Indiana and the one that come from the Pyramid.
I am just wandering if there are any connections?
🤔🧐🤔
I have lightly studied the ley lines theory but find it fascinating. During my travels across Southern Indiana, I’ve noticed some places have a feeling of presence, and other people have agreed with me.
My one friend, whom is an empath, got physically sick at the circle at Browning Mountain, said she felt an energy there, and felt a knife pierce her back, where Shanda’s body was found. I’m actually really glad I’m not an empath!
@@AdventureswithRoger Oh my gosh. That would have been horrible to feel that. Just reading the book literally made me feel sick and freaked out.
Much of southern Indiana has a heaviness & darkness. I dunno why. There are lots of good people living down there. I don't think it is dark and heavy because of the people. I think it is because something very evil happened for long periods of time down there so long ago that there is no one alive any more that knows the story behind it.
I know of people who live in southern Indiana who say the same thing especially the more south they go like along the Ohio River and into Kentucky.
@@BoJo5066 Sometimes I’ll learn some dark folklore about a place, and ask my friend, the empath, if she wants to tag along. She’s the insurance package that keeps me out of trouble. I always say the same thing, “You get a bad feeling about this place, say so and we’re gone.”
She saw an orb at the big house rock cave, said it was friendly. When we visited the Electra airplane accident site, she got so dizzy that she staggered across the road and threw up. Some of the older Vincennes sites she felt a lot of death, but nothing evil. Me? I pick up on nothing and would like to keep it that way! 🙂
Have you ever visited New Harmony? The entire time I was filming there, I felt a hard to describe peace that surrounded me, like I was walking through it. I mentioned that briefly in the video, and several people concurred that they felt the same way, in the comments.
@@AdventureswithRoger I remember once doing an art show at a facility in Louisville. It used to be a meat packing place so the vibes were not too good to start with. I saw a wall down a back corridor with smoke damage all over it. Later, I asked the show director about the fire back there and he was stunned. He said the fire was years ago and had been painted over. 😱 Edit: Thought I posted this on an empath thread but then it seemed to show up on a completely different thread so trying to repost on another empath thread.
It would interesting to do a celestial alignment but there may not be enough structure remains to accomplish.
I didn't know that.
I’d heard about it from a few people, wanted to check it out for myself! It’s a pretty good hike. I did it when I was 45 pounds heavier, and let me tell you, it was rough getting up there! 😀
I love hiking. Sounds like a great hike.@@AdventureswithRoger
Hike and like
Sorry guys but that is clearly geological weathering. A product of the freeze/thaw cycle.
I’m an open-minded skeptic. When people say they know just how something happened, and can’t replicate it, I call it a theory. It might be true, but if they can’t duplicate the result, it opens the floor for other explanations.
I think glaciers could have placed that limestone up there. But I don’t think it could cut the blocks and line similar shape ones in a row, and allow spacing for mortar. That makes me think people had something to do with it. The big, column-sized ones laying about? I’ve seen nearly perfect octagonal shaped ones created by nature, it doesn’t necessarily mean the “pillars” were quarried. Is their positioning suspect of human involvement? I don’t know.
You didn't see the find the old homestead and old well up there? there is a rock datedike 1890 and rock with percent holes drilled in them
I didn’t include the pond, well and later 1890 homestead, as they weren’t pertinent to the story, any more than the other abandoned buildings in Elkinsville.
Here’s my reasoning. Some people propose a logical explanation, saying there is nothing unique about Browning Mountain, that it was just a pioneer homestead, stones were quarried locally, and then the place was abandoned. But they overlook some obvious things. The homestead stone said 1890. The state geologist surveyed Browning Mountain in 1875 and only mentioned the large blocks and pillars, strewn about the area. There was no mention of a homestead. The way the area was described in 1875, is largely what we see today, on the side of the summit. Any evidence of pioneer habitation was after the 1875 survey.
THAT might have been a figment of your imagination my good man,but from what I know of the Brown county area,and I spent a little time there,sinister characters clad in dark cloaks are a part of of the metaphysical aswell as the physical reality there.If any AWR veiwers are considering an outing on Browning Mountain, don't go alone(like our boy Roger is known to do from time to time apparently) network among yourselves,plan and go in large groups,ten or more if at all possible,and make it an early in the day expedition, {maybe burn a little white sage while you're there💨}and don't let the sun go back down, before you go back down and off of Browning Mountain.
Over my life I’ve heard of many cults around Brown and Monroe counties. My cousin and some friends heard of a meeting place, in the Brown county woods, and decided to crash the party. They drove into this compound with people all wearing hooded cloaks, panicked and hit the gas. And got stuck. The people in cloaks helped them get out of the ditch, and the group of daredevils floored it. True story.
@@AdventureswithRoger That's not the outcome I would have expected, personally I would like to hear more about that encounter, although I doubt if it had been me in that situation I would have been able to recall the first detail. I imagine any group sporting cloaks in the middle of the woods would be up to something of a secretive nature,but apparently not all are of the murderous type,maybe someone in the group knew the boys and convinced the rest to let them go? Either that or when the truck got stuck, the good o boy instinct over road the cult agenda and they acted accordingly? Thanks for that bonus tale of terror, and hospitality.
There’s a lot of Wicca (witch) groups in Indiana, it’s even formally recognized as a religion in the military. Some soldiers get it stamped on their name tags. I’ve actually met some Wiccan’s online, that watch my channel. Certainly odd / contrary to my beliefs, but they don’t have any sacrificial rites.
3×4 construction the blocks would interlock when laid one up , one down where else in the world 🌎 is this building technique used ?? Cyclopean or polygonal bricks used like that were earth quake proof and of very strong construction 🚧🏗️ methods ?? My quess ❓ middle eastern orgin .
👍
Please note, these stones were rearranged from their original position. The present scene is staged, so don't try to arrive to such conclusions, regarding paranormal anomalies. Research its origins. It was much different then what is displayed today. It was known to be a burial ground.
The earliest settlers mentioned a stone wall about three feet high. And as you mentioned, the existing stones were moved to build house foundations and other structures. This activity was halted after a series of serious worker injuries.

If it's ancient, an Indian ghost would not speak in the English language to the 2 men!
That makes sense if the Indian was just a man. But in my paranormal studies, demons can speak any language, as they’ve been here from the beginning.
@@AdventureswithRoger spot on Roger
You did catch something ghostly/otherly. At 6:20 just right of center there is a big tree leaning into another tree. The other tree is the one she is in front of. Black skirt, white blouse, dark scarf, dark hair. Zoom in of course. 😉
Whole body.
I don’t see how anyone can believe in this type of thing. Hauntings are simply fiction derived from a lunatic.
I believe what I can see and experience. I didn’t experience anything here, but I sure did at Tunnelton Tunnel: I even caught it, whatever it was, on camera.
I took my kids up there during Covid. 6 and 8 years old without problem. As for anything supernatural? no, ;). Has anyone inquired to IU geological department about it?
Most people don’t, I didn’t either. I still really enjoyed going up there and seeing it, as I’d heard about it for many years!
It was documented by the Indiana geological survey, but I don’t have any information about an IU study. There’s a good chance one has been done, but there wouldn’t be much for conclusions: just rocks
The mess more murders in Crawford county 1950 or so would make great story messemore name of suspect bodies not found I lost family members vandiver Tommy and Wanda never seen again 🤠
