❓QUESTIONS FOR THOMAS❓ If you have a question for Tom please leave it in this message below. We will try to get to any inquiry the next time we have him in studio, on the phone, or stopping by the rock shop.
I enjoyed your video. Very well done. I have one request, it seems picky to say it. The zoom in ending with shaking doesn't add much besides being annoying. Folks with vision problems or epilepsy will just stop watching, pity because it's a great video.
Our Sun has a binary..The binary has planets.The first is Tiamat, known as the Dragon...It has a huge debris field...Some will strike the Earth shortly...This is the source of comets and asteroids..The System is known as Carlos Munoz' Ferrada's Herculobus...As Tiamat leaves the Sun will rise in the West--later 2024..
Thomas showed me all this in 2013! I HAVE to go back! And the first time I went down, my cell phone was fully charged and within an hour, not being used, lost all power.✌️☄️🔱❤️🔥✨️
I am from Poland and i had the pleasure to meet and spent some time with Thomas there 🤗 And now Serpent Mound is big part of my life 🌠 Blessings to you wonderful human being 🙌
I gained so much information today while visiting Hocking Hills and then Serpent Mound. I Had the opportunity to meet Tom today at his shop “House of Phacops Rock Shop”. We had a wonderful time and he taught us so much! He is super intelligent and kind. He gave my daughter a Yooperlite which she will treasure forever. Thank you, Tom!
Thank you to everyone that has stopped by to watch, comment, like, subscribe, share this content. Thomas is a genuine treasure and we are so grateful to be able to have worked with him on this effort and to have had him as a guest in studio as well. We look forward to having Thomas on again in the very near future for an episode. Keep your eyes open for that!
Anyone from the area loves Thomas! I was lucky enough to go fossil hunting with him once after I graduated high-school in the area with a few of my friends. This was around 2010. We didn't find much but I did find a sizable football sized slab with a bunch of horn coral and clam fossils embedded in it. I also remember being there at the watch party when we all sat to watch his television appearance on Ancient Aliens on their segment on Serpent Mound. That place is outta this world!!
In 1998, I was on a bicycle trip across North America and I'd wanted to camp near the Serpent Mound, having read about it. But five miles from Sinking Spring I was harassed and assaulted by young guys in speeding cars, throwing things, hitting me and threatening me. I had to turn around, go back to the previous village I'd been in, Latham I think, and call 911. A detective came to meet me, took notes and had his deputy bring his truck, and drive me and all my gear back to Chillicothe where I'd left from that morning. From there I got a Greyhound ticket to Duluth and got off there to ride up to Canada, re- routing my whole trip. It was one of the scariest things that's ever happened to me and I never got to see the Serpent Mound. This video is amazing. Thank you.
@@2degucitas thank you. Ya, it could have been a much worse situation for me. The scariest of the vehicles, a high mounted big tire pickup with two young guys, mirror shades, shaved heads, making gun gestures at me as they slowly passed by me... It was Good Friday in 1998. I was wearing three layers of clothing and later that night in the motel room mirror I could see clearly the red mark between my shoulder blades in the shape of the coke bottle filled with ditch water that they hit me with at 50 mph. If I'd gone forward instead of turning around, who knows what would have happened.
Well I'm an amateur prospector that moved here a year and a half ago and this video just explained a lot of questions I needed answered. The mineralization at my place is different than anywhere else I've investigated
Hi Jeremy! Have you been to Tom and Terri’s Rock Shop in Locust Grove? It’s right across the street from Dollar General. Stop in and Tom will blow your mind and add mor to the puzzle! Thank you for watching. 😎🙏🏼🐍🦉
Can I stop by and get some help identifying a few things? I'm a gold prospector and rock/gem. I'm only a couple miles away, I bought my place because of the Crater and glacial map. I find a lot of things that aren't found anywhere else but our area.
I'm very grateful for this video popping up in my youtube feed; I recently watched Randal Carlson's Kosmographia podcast about this Serpent mound and he noted that the serpent sort of corresponds to the layout of the close area within the crater. The head of the serpent lies on a rock which has a viper head shape, so the ridge behind it could be considered a natural continuation of a serpent body; I love you mentioning the "Underwater serpent" as well. I think it would be worthwhile for somebody to decipher various similarities of these land features around the mound, because I think there will be many cues not touched yet.
We’re grateful for you finding our channel! We love Randall! His podcast is so informative. I caught that very episode myself and was blown away! If you ever want to take an in person tour with Tom call House of Phacops Rockshop and schedule it! Amazing
This is absolutely amazing and I don't pretend to understand it all, far from it. It is just so amazing to hear about. Thank you for all your work and explanation, even though it's beyond my intelligence to comprehend.
Thank you! Mike and Stoner did an amazing job working with Thomas to capture his tour of the crater that he had been giving for many years. If anyone knows anything it would be him! I personally would love to have him back on anytime he wants to be a guest! Stay Strange!
Five or 10 years ago we did an Ohio Indian mounds road trip. We ran into his trilobite museum solely by accident. It is pretty remarkable. We didn’t meet him at the time. It’s nice to put a face with the collection. Thank you so much.
Thank you for the kind words. We are very happy to have put this idea into motion to create the Tour. Thomas had given the tour for many many years, and no one had captured it. Just seemed right to do.
I was out at Flying Eagle on the summer solstice when a bad storm rolled through. It was wild. I can honestly say that my compass was spinning when I walked around the area! I can not wait to go back. It is recharging to the soul!
I stopped at your place a couple years ago. This whole region is charged according to the Indian stories... but listening to your research adds more information to the other information I have that makes it more sensible. I told you I'd be back down there and I'm planning on it but there might be a lot of people down there at the eclipse
Thanks for this crater video @thestrangeroad Explains some of my life experiences. Grew up visiting Serpent Mound and Fort Hill every summer. The energy there totally changed the trajectory of my life. For real ❤ and love Thomas’ store! Connie
Thank you for the comment! It really seemed like a no brainer. Tom is a wealth of knowledge and getting it preserved for the future was important. So glad to be able to share his wisdom and get to talk with him on the show. Thank you again Connie!
Thank you Thomas, as a Hoosier I REALLY enjoyed learning something I knew nothing about. Fascinating. I appreciate your dedication and passion. Best of the best to you.
This is such a good video. I’ve been coming to this area for 25yrs as my grandma lives just miles away from serpent mound. I drive past the Rock Shop every time I visit her and eat at that drive in restaurant/cafe place across the street. I never knew about the impact crater and the magnetic properties in the area. I’m sharing this video with others that have been to the area with me. Thanks for posting!
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing, Thomas is a wonderful human being with so much information and enthusiasm to share. We are thrilled to be able to help spread his knowledge!!!

I think this is great,Iam in Akron Ohio,and would love to learn more,my mind has always went with theory , especially in Tennessee where olot or I should say most,of my collection is from.i ty for doing this video,and hope I can learn more!😊
This man is so learned, and handsome too. What an interesting life he has had. I love fossils, but mine are much less grand then what we see here, LoL. Fascinating video, I truly loved it!
Thomas is so incredibly knowledgeable. Definitely go visit him at House of Phacops Rock Shop and see his collections in person. Serpent Mound is only 6 miles away too. 😎🙏🏼
I spent a lot of time around there and it's a very weird energy center for sure. I just realized I know this guy Thomas I've been to his house and museum during our big Serpent Mound ceremonies great guy .❤
Wow, excellent documentary and living in the Columbus, OH area never knew about the crater, but have been to Serpent Mound, just fascinating, thanks for sharing Thomas, greatly appreciated and learned something new today...
Interesting that the Serpent Mound is built on the rim of an impact crater! The mound people must have felt/detected something there. About a decade ago we were showing the kids the mounds and new agers/wiccans were "recharging" their crystals on the mound. That added a bit of complexity to my description of the mound to my middle schoolers. ;-)
Fell in love with Hebron Ohio while at Buckeye Lake seeing the Grateful Dead, and began visiting there and Serpant Mound in 1990. Great Content 😊👌subscribed
Hope you are all enjoying the video, the in studio record with Thomas was completed this week. Looking forward to getting that episode out!! What questions would you like to Ask Thomas for his next interview?....................... Leave your questions below in a comment!!!!
At 19:40 of this video, he mentions briefly of an obelisk at the head of the serpent mound that has since been removed and covered up, that 'Ross talks about'. Can he elaborate? Ross who?
WOW 5 Miles although it may be small compadres to other impacts just the thought of the damage and fireball created would defiantly eff things up big time
The builders were expert Geomancers and most likely were fully aware of the magnetic anomalies at the site and probably chose it for this reason. Excellent break down of the crater and surrounding Geology. I just subscribed
I love a video PACKED with information. You mentioned weather anomalies several times and I have noticed a somewhat similar anomaly here where I love in Ohio. Specifically the vast majority of the time when a large storm sweeps into our county from the west, the line of storms will split where I live and severest storm cells will either/or/both concentrate 3 to 6 miles to the north or south then get really crappy as they more east from here. Storms that come from the south-east seem to become most intense as they pass here. I always thought it was simply because of terrain changes but now you have me wondering if there is a solid gold meteorite buried somewhere up the road a piece.
I recently moved to Mansfield, Ohio, and I am an avid rock and mineral collector . Ohio is a hidden gem for all ages of the earth. I'm involved in glacial gold found the mid state. I understand that the Ohio Trilobite is the world's largest 😊
Come on down to the shop and meet Tom! He'll show his giant Trilobite collection. Links are in the description of this video. He'd loves to share all he knows.
I really appreciate this talk immensely. That place is truly special in so many ways. He speaks of watching and observing for a long period of time before someone determined that is a cool place to live. I totally agree except that I don't think they needed to observe very long. I can FEEL that place. Literally. I know exactly where the branch of the fault that goes through the mound. I know the precise location because I can feel it. Someone back then, I'm sure, could feel and sense that magnetic field quite easily. Can't wait for the next visit because I want to get up on Parker Ridge and "feel" my way around up there. Such interesting talk. Thank you!!
I was glued to my seat watching this. Very well told and filmed. You had me thinking 'wait what?Came in and buried the obelisk once the authorities were told about it? Someone do a piece just on that!
My hats off to you sir. the natives didn't biuld the mound there for no reason. It's just amazing they realize things like that. With all of our tech, we are just discovering or remembering alot of these things. But they knew. Good job sir.
L.A. Marzulli has interviewed first nations elders, and he said they told him they didn't build the serpent mound. They told him it was made by the giants/Nephilim that came before them. Something to think about. He has many TH-cam videos
I was recently in South Dakota, and visited the Lyon County Conservation Center at Lake Pahoja. I lived in that area for quite a while, and grew up in nearby Minnesota. So, I was surprised to learn about a snake mound having been there at one time. I also visited the Blood Run historical site, by the Big Sioux river between South Dakota and Iowa. There they had some old maps drawn of when there were hundreds of burial mounds and the serpent mound mentioned at the other center. Evidently they all got ruined by the early pioneers clearing land for crops, and especially by the railroad coming through and wiping it all out. So sad!
I met you about 10 years ago I stopped in at your shop I used to live right by you now I live by Chillicothe Hopewell mounds I'm looking forward to stop and learning from you thank you for sharing you need to go to schools and educate some people
Fascinating to discover that geomagnetism effects weather patterns. Taking that one-step forward. Thomas mentioned his 'haunted house' located inside the impact zone. My question is, has there been cross tabulated paranormal activity studies to impact zones? I'm sure many would be curious to find out if there are any connections.
Thiis is a great video! I've been to Serpent Mound and have stopped at the fossil shop many times, as I live about a half an hour away from them. There was also a crop circle in the field below the entrance to the mound site in 2003. Such an awesome place.
I moved here from Boulder, Colorado, but I'm originally from Canada. I live 30 minutes from Toledo, but ever since I've been here I've noticed how different Ohio seems. I couldn't put my finger on it, but there's truly the best of things and the worst of things here. This video explains a lot to me. So fascinating and being a seeker also, the crater, the fault line, the energy patterns makes so much sense to me know. I haven't been to Serpent Mound yet, but it's on my list. Thank you, thank you.
They dont call Ohio 'the heart of America' for nothing I guess... Ohio has a lot of weird anomalies going on. One weird thing is that the most US presidents and NASA astronauts come from Ohio. Kinda weird. Some sorta relation? Maybe. Needs more research.
Thank you for your research in this crater Thomas. I found it astounding. I was at the mound in 1997. I could feel the energy. So could the other tourists (who were being loud and obnoxious) So much for a short meditation. Anyway, there was precious little info about the history of formation which I found very disappointing. Thanks again for answering my unanswered questions.
11 years ago, Tom took me up to an old cemetery, I believe, and showed me the edges of the eroded crater.✌️🐉🔱✨️ (And he talked about it. Lol.) 2013 was an incredible year. And I have shattercones downstairs.
I drove by the mounds and his rockshop every weekend for two years I should of stopped in and checked it out the mounds are real strange to wander around at night cool place to watch meteor showers too
Do you imagine that what the previous owner of the house, took to be a haunting, has actually to do with the magnetic anomaly? I lived once, at the top of a quite high hill, which led down to a lake in Maine. The house was an antique with quite strange occurrences ongoing inside. I am thinking just now of the lay of that land. Thank you.
Ive had a great desire to visit Serpent Mound but learning about the crater is driving my curiosity to visit and stop talking about it. I just don’t want my car battery to die while I’m there! Thanks for all the information! I’m happy to pass it on.
My spouse and I have been to this museum, and it is nice, but a bit difficult to find. Unfortunately, when we arrived at the gate of Serpent Mound, it was closed due to one of the buildings having burned down the day before. MANY people who had driven many miles to see the mounds were very mad. The burnt building was far away from the Mound, so we parked on the main road and walked up to the mound. We weren't going to drive that far and not see the mound. Others had come from farther away than us, and they also refused to not come all that way and not see the mounds.
Ok so I am absolutely astonished by this info and all the discoveries. Looks like we need to ride horses and bring post pigeons to avoid battery drainage in cars and cell phones. And make sure it rains to see the phenomenon of the half-rained road. Can't wait for the trip. Thank you!
It really is astonishing. We had no idea about any of this stuff until we hung out with Tom that day. He literally blew our minds! Make sure you stop in a the House of Phacops Rock shop in Locust Grove, Oh on your way to Serpent Mound!
@@TheStrangeRoad Thank you very much! We definitely will + will book a private tour. Hoping to scope those fluorescent stones and bring them home. Gonna have to fight my cat for the black light in his laser pointer but hey, worth the risk.
Great area. I’ve been to Sinking Springs riding atv and it was really amazing. Just beautiful. Went to woodland altars as a kid with school and it was also beautiful land. Awesome hiking. My son and I want to see serpent mound. I appreciate the car tips 👌🏻 This guy is brilliant
I live right off 73. Native Americans, before electricity and everything else, had to have been much more in tune with their environment. I'm sure they themselves could have sensed energy fields like those in the crater and would have attached spiritual significance to them.
I didn’t know about any of this till after I ran around all these mounds and crazy trails… my phone camera was doing things it’s never done before… I had taken pictures and videos and they didn’t save… my camera would go black for no reason and not be able to take pictures and videos. Very very strange I slept at the great seal and it lightening stormed all night there was lights going on and off.. I felt very afraid at fort hill… this happened at other mounds in other parts of Ohio.. I felt warm spots and all this I remember vividly feeling and saying that has never happened I’ve never felt that warm of a change like the sun was amplified in one spot.. then I started digging into this. lol
This is NOT the only place on earth where a meteor hit a fault. The Arizona meteor crater resulted right at a fault line…. Not only that, it’s super visible, and crosses the crater.
Next time you’re in the Serpent Mound area stop by the Rock Shop. Tom will schedule one with you. House of Phacops Rock Shop (937) 205-3810 maps.app.goo.gl/JUtCVMQ1hsTB7sGR9?g_st=ic
I’d love to revisit this site, always encountering my own unwilling ignorance of what’s openly around us. Excellent detail of many things, super informative. Absolutely love to stop in and have a conversation with Tom. Geologically, what’s the chances of an asteroid hitting a fault? Mind blowing, long lasting effects! Often get to see the crater in Arizona, and that object was tiny that dug a 600 foot deep, 3/4 mile hole. Total mind blowing at Ohio’s nine mile wide crater. Why is there the “deference” for the fossil presented by the shock cone? Preserved the fossil while devastating the rock material!? Unreal. Ohio, the Heart of it All.
I just came across your channel and I'm so glad I did. I'm hoping to make a trip down to Serpents Mound this summer. You gave me so much insight about the area that I'm hoping to hit most of the places you talked about. Great video and Thank You!
Wow, i never knew that much about the impact crater site, i kind of forgot about it actually, but i recall someone mentioning it on one of the older serpent mound videos as to the weird magnetic anomalies all around and i was really intrigued about it as we have a impact crater in ,i think, northwest Indiana, Illinois border area. I cant remember the name of the site,there is a small town nearby it,on the edge of the debris ring and interesting thing is there is a open mine in the center of the crater remnant. Thats really amazing to think that the one there in OH was a mile deep at one time. Ive been trying to get over there and see serpent mound for years but there's always something more pressing in responsibilities and work that i dont get time to travel.

What is your thoughts on the connection between serpent mound and the impact crater
Our Sun has a binary..The binary has planets.The first is Tiamat, known as the Dragon...It has a huge debris field...Some will strike the Earth shortly...This is the source of comets and asteroids..The System is known as Carlos Munoz' Ferrada's Herculobus...As Tiamat leaves the Sun will rise in the West--later 2024..
What do yo mean by "energized"?
Could artificial magnetic forced be generated to ameliorate threatening weather? Thinking of recent damage Carolinas, FL
Thomas showed me all this in 2013! I HAVE to go back! And the first time I went down, my cell phone was fully charged and within an hour, not being used, lost all power.✌️☄️🔱❤️🔥✨️
I am from Poland and i had the pleasure to meet and spent some time with Thomas there 🤗

Blessings to you wonderful human being 🙌
That’s incredible that the Serpent Mound can effect people all over the world no matter where they’re from. Thank you for sharing.🐍🦉
Hi Poland !, I would love to meet Thomas and visit the site.
I am a Buckeye born and bred and never knew Ohio had an ancient crater near Serpent Mound. Thanks for enlightening my ignorance.
Not just near Serpent Mound, it encompasses Serpent Mound.
Cheers, glad you enjoyed it!
There are a few other impact craters in Ohio as well. Just much smaller.

LOVED my Tour with Thomas!
He's a stellar soul!
My dad found one on Cedar Point Beach when he worked there. He walked the beach every day. My trilobite is just as big. Loved taking it to school.
Oh wow that’s so cool! Have you ever been to House of Phacops? That’s Thomas’s museum near Serpent Mound. I bet he would love to see your Trilobite!
great information.. thank you for sharing ..... love the way you visit the different layers of the land .. super job

Wow, excellent documentary and living in the Columbus, OH area never knew about the crater, but have been to Serpent Mound, just fascinating, thanks for sharing Thomas, greatly appreciated and learned something new today...
@@edmckinley1333 That’s awesome Ed! We’re based in Columbus. Appreciate the support!
Interesting that the Serpent Mound is built on the rim of an impact crater! The mound people must have felt/detected something there. About a decade ago we were showing the kids the mounds and new agers/wiccans were "recharging" their crystals on the mound. That added a bit of complexity to my description of the mound to my middle schoolers. ;-)
Fell in love with Hebron Ohio while at Buckeye Lake seeing the Grateful Dead, and began visiting there and Serpant Mound in 1990. Great Content 😊👌subscribed
Thank you! :)
Very informative.
Thanks for watching!
Wow, Ive got to visit this area again. And definitely visit the rock shop!
You should!
Hope you are all enjoying the video, the in studio record with Thomas was completed this week. Looking forward to getting that episode out!!
What questions would you like to Ask Thomas for his next interview?.......................
Leave your questions below in a comment!!!!
At 19:40 of this video, he mentions briefly of an obelisk at the head of the serpent mound that has since been removed and covered up, that 'Ross talks about'. Can he elaborate? Ross who?
Ross Hamilton would be our best guess.
Absolutely AMAZING!!!
I have been to Serpent Mound several times, and always find it mysterious. Thank you for explaining the topography!
Thank you for tuning in and supporting the channel!
WOW 5 Miles although it may be small compadres to other impacts just the thought of the damage and fireball created would defiantly eff things up big time
Very interesting, now I know where to go on my next roadtrip.
The builders were expert Geomancers and most likely were fully aware of the magnetic anomalies at the site and probably chose it for this reason.
Excellent break down of the crater and surrounding Geology. I just subscribed
Appreciate you! Glad you enjoyed the doc!
First I've watched this. Excellent tour of this area. Feel like I'm standing right there with him.
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed the tour!
Thanks Tom! I hope to see you soon!
We want to thank you so much for this video we had visited serpent mound back in August and this video was absolutely fascinating. Thank you again.
Our pleasure!
I love a video PACKED with information. You mentioned weather anomalies several times and I have noticed a somewhat similar anomaly here where I love in Ohio. Specifically the vast majority of the time when a large storm sweeps into our county from the west, the line of storms will split where I live and severest storm cells will either/or/both concentrate 3 to 6 miles to the north or south then get really crappy as they more east from here.
Storms that come from the south-east seem to become most intense as they pass here.
I always thought it was simply because of terrain changes but now you have me wondering if there is a solid gold meteorite buried somewhere up the road a piece.
That's cool!
I recently moved to Mansfield, Ohio, and I am an avid rock and mineral collector . Ohio is a hidden gem for all ages of the earth. I'm involved in glacial gold found the mid state. I understand that the Ohio Trilobite is the world's largest 😊
Come on down to the shop and meet Tom! He'll show his giant Trilobite collection. Links are in the description of this video. He'd loves to share all he knows.
All of this is new to me. Very interesting and informative.
I really appreciate this talk immensely. That place is truly special in so many ways. He speaks of watching and observing for a long period of time before someone determined that is a cool place to live. I totally agree except that I don't think they needed to observe very long. I can FEEL that place. Literally. I know exactly where the branch of the fault that goes through the mound. I know the precise location because I can feel it. Someone back then, I'm sure, could feel and sense that magnetic field quite easily. Can't wait for the next visit because I want to get up on Parker Ridge and "feel" my way around up there. Such interesting talk. Thank you!!
One of the nicest guys you ever met
Truly amazing research! Thanks for passing it on and I'll be sharing this with my kids as well.
That’s awesome!😎🙏🏼
Wow so informative, didn't want it to end, thank you. How great would it be to study and learn from you.
I was glued to my seat watching this. Very well told and filmed. You had me thinking 'wait what?Came in and buried the obelisk once the authorities were told about it? Someone do a piece just on that!
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it. Share, Like and subscribe!
My father and I will be heading to his shop and the crater site.
Please report back your experience and overall take. Always interested to get feedback. Tom is amazing!
Absolutely fascinating!
Amazing story, love running into stories like this, you learn something.
Tom is fantastic, he is a seemingly endless mystery himself.
Beyond his stories about Serpent Mound. Truly a living legend.
Awesome interview. Thank you
Thanks for listening
Nicely done!
My hats off to you sir. the natives didn't biuld the mound there for no reason. It's just amazing they realize things like that. With all of our tech, we are just discovering or remembering alot of these things. But they knew. Good job sir.
L.A. Marzulli has interviewed first nations elders, and he said they told him they didn't build the serpent mound. They told him it was made by the giants/Nephilim that came before them. Something to think about. He has many TH-cam videos
I was recently in South Dakota, and visited the Lyon County Conservation Center at Lake Pahoja. I lived in that area for quite a while, and grew up in nearby Minnesota. So, I was surprised to learn about a snake mound having been there at one time. I also visited the Blood Run historical site, by the Big Sioux river between South Dakota and Iowa. There they had some old maps drawn of when there were hundreds of burial mounds and the serpent mound mentioned at the other center. Evidently they all got ruined by the early pioneers clearing land for crops, and especially by the railroad coming through and wiping it all out. So sad!
I met you about 10 years ago I stopped in at your shop I used to live right by you now I live by Chillicothe Hopewell mounds I'm looking forward to stop and learning from you thank you for sharing you need to go to schools and educate some people
We’ll pass on your message to Thomas for you! Thanks for watching man! Hope you enjoyed the tour!
I sure enjoyed this!
It's fascinating how these events from millions of years ago can be studied and determined where and when they happened.
Really well done thank you
Appreciate you!
Fascinating to discover that geomagnetism effects weather patterns. Taking that one-step forward. Thomas mentioned his 'haunted house' located inside the impact zone. My question is, has there been cross tabulated paranormal activity studies to impact zones? I'm sure many would be curious to find out if there are any connections.
Thiis is a great video! I've been to Serpent Mound and have stopped at the fossil shop many times, as I live about a half an hour away from them. There was also a crop circle in the field below the entrance to the mound site in 2003. Such an awesome place.
That is awesome!
I moved here from Boulder, Colorado, but I'm originally from Canada. I live 30 minutes from Toledo, but ever since I've been here I've noticed how different Ohio seems. I couldn't put my finger on it, but there's truly the best of things and the worst of things here. This video explains a lot to me. So fascinating and being a seeker also, the crater, the fault line, the energy patterns makes so much sense to me know. I haven't been to Serpent Mound yet, but it's on my list. Thank you, thank you.
Ohio had a strong foot hold on some very strange energies.
Glad you enjoyed the episode!!
They dont call Ohio 'the heart of America' for nothing I guess... Ohio has a lot of weird anomalies going on. One weird thing is that the most US presidents and NASA astronauts come from Ohio. Kinda weird. Some sorta relation? Maybe. Needs more research.
Thank you for your research in this crater Thomas. I found it astounding. I was at the mound in 1997.
I could feel the energy. So could the other tourists (who were being loud and obnoxious)
So much for a short meditation. Anyway, there was precious little info about the history of formation which I found very disappointing.
Thanks again for answering my unanswered questions.
11 years ago, Tom took me up to an old cemetery, I believe, and showed me the edges of the eroded crater.✌️🐉🔱✨️
(And he talked about it. Lol.) 2013 was an incredible year. And I have shattercones downstairs.
Very cool
I drove by the mounds and his rockshop every weekend for two years I should of stopped in and checked it out the mounds are real strange to wander around at night cool place to watch meteor showers too
Do you imagine that what the previous owner of the house, took to be a haunting, has actually to do with the magnetic anomaly? I lived once, at the top of a quite high hill, which led down to a lake in Maine. The house was an antique with quite strange occurrences ongoing inside. I am thinking just now of the lay of that land. Thank you.
Very cool. Very informative thank you Sir!❤🎉🎉❤
So nice of you
Enjoyed your video very much.
Appreciate your support! Thank you!🙏🏼
Ive had a great desire to visit Serpent Mound but learning about the crater is driving my curiosity to visit and stop talking about it. I just don’t want my car battery to die while I’m there! Thanks for all the information! I’m happy to pass it on.
PS: I’d love to know more about the monolith at the head.
My spouse and I have been to this museum, and it is nice, but a bit difficult to find. Unfortunately, when we arrived at the gate of Serpent Mound, it was closed due to one of the buildings having burned down the day before. MANY people who had driven many miles to see the mounds were very mad. The burnt building was far away from the Mound, so we parked on the main road and walked up to the mound. We weren't going to drive that far and not see the mound. Others had come from farther away than us, and they also refused to not come all that way and not see the mounds.
I am so sorry to hear about the fire and the closed gate. I can imagine how frustrating that must have been!
@@TheStrangeRoad I See they will be closed not only Monday but also Tuesday on Election Day. I don't understand that.
Ok so I am absolutely astonished by this info and all the discoveries. Looks like we need to ride horses and bring post pigeons to avoid battery drainage in cars and cell phones. And make sure it rains to see the phenomenon of the half-rained road. Can't wait for the trip. Thank you!
It really is astonishing. We had no idea about any of this stuff until we hung out with Tom that day. He literally blew our minds! Make sure you stop in a the House of Phacops Rock shop in Locust Grove, Oh on your way to Serpent Mound!
@@TheStrangeRoad Thank you very much! We definitely will + will book a private tour. Hoping to scope those fluorescent stones and bring them home. Gonna have to fight my cat for the black light in his laser pointer but hey, worth the risk.
I live in Lebanon OH. I never knew about the crater.
Great area. I’ve been to Sinking Springs riding atv and it was really amazing. Just beautiful. Went to woodland altars as a kid with school and it was also beautiful land. Awesome hiking. My son and I want to see serpent mound. I appreciate the car tips 👌🏻
This guy is brilliant
Excellent . . . !
Glad you like it!
I live right off 73. Native Americans, before electricity and everything else, had to have been much more in tune with their environment. I'm sure they themselves could have sensed energy fields like those in the crater and would have attached spiritual significance to them.
I'm up here in Youngstown. Ohio born and raised. I'm going to try to visit this area.
This was so interesting! Thank you.
I didn’t know about any of this till after I ran around all these mounds and crazy trails… my phone camera was doing things it’s never done before… I had taken pictures and videos and they didn’t save… my camera would go black for no reason and not be able to take pictures and videos. Very very strange I slept at the great seal and it lightening stormed all night there was lights going on and off.. I felt very afraid at fort hill… this happened at other mounds in other parts of Ohio.. I felt warm spots and all this I remember vividly feeling and saying that has never happened I’ve never felt that warm of a change like the sun was amplified in one spot.. then I started digging into this. lol
This is NOT the only place on earth where a meteor hit a fault. The Arizona meteor crater resulted right at a fault line…. Not only that, it’s super visible, and crosses the crater.
Yeah but this could be Samyaza Satan. The serphant with the mouth of the crescent moon swallowing the morning star.
@@jordanjustison859Thomas and the natives believes “the egg” was once a turtle.
That crater in Arizona is colossal! Beautiful!
Now that was a cool video!! I would love know more!!
Great video, I'd would love to go on that guided tour with him.
Next time you’re in the Serpent Mound area stop by the Rock Shop. Tom will schedule one with you.

@@TheStrangeRoad wow, thank you! Sounds amazing.
The video is great but you can't beat going on the tour with Tom in person! So wild!
Excellent documentary!
Thank you so much for the support!
Absolutely fascinating!
I’d love to revisit this site, always encountering my own unwilling ignorance of what’s openly around us. Excellent detail of many things, super informative.
Absolutely love to stop in and have a conversation with Tom.
Geologically, what’s the chances of an asteroid hitting a fault? Mind blowing, long lasting effects!
Often get to see the crater in Arizona, and that object was tiny that dug a 600 foot deep, 3/4 mile hole. Total mind blowing at Ohio’s nine mile wide crater.
Why is there the “deference” for the fossil presented by the shock cone? Preserved the fossil while devastating the rock material!? Unreal.
Ohio, the Heart of it All.
Was born in Chillicothe. Go Bucks!!!
I'm on my way down. Vary interesting.
Thanks for your contribution!
It's refreshing nowadays when someone shares the truth...
Enjoyed this very much. Thank you.
Our pleasure!
This old earth has taken quite a beating over the ages
I just came across your channel and I'm so glad I did. I'm hoping to make a trip down to Serpents Mound this summer. You gave me so much insight about the area that I'm hoping to hit most of the places you talked about. Great video and Thank You!
Welcome aboard!
I am going to go visit serpent mound. Thomas really has me interested in this area now that I have learned more about it.
Very cool. I live in SW PA and I always thought that Western PA and Ohio were very strange and cool places
Wow, i never knew that much about the impact crater site, i kind of forgot about it actually, but i recall someone mentioning it on one of the older serpent mound videos as to the weird magnetic anomalies all around and i was really intrigued about it as we have a impact crater in ,i think, northwest Indiana, Illinois border area. I cant remember the name of the site,there is a small town nearby it,on the edge of the debris ring and interesting thing is there is a open mine in the center of the crater remnant.
Thats really amazing to think that the one there in OH was a mile deep at one time.
Ive been trying to get over there and see serpent mound for years but there's always something more pressing in responsibilities and work that i dont get time to travel.
Thank you so much for this! It's new information for me.
Us too! Tom blew us away, would love to have him back on!!
Love driving this area because it’s beautiful scenery. I was at fort ancient and serpent mound on the summer solstice recently. Amazing energy there
I can see my dad's grave stone in the Locust Grove Cemetary.
He also has amazing cats and workshop
