There were about 7 of us standing on the trail before the rock. Flickers of light on the face of the rock appeared and disappeared before our eyes. We ran to the parking lot to regroup. After some discussion we went back and witnessed the lights once again. Then from atop of the conglomerate formation the sky lit up as if there was a campfire illuminating the trees. We got the heck out of there. Say what you will about swamp gas escaping and igniting but to this day I am not sure what was witnessed. I'm sure the people in the group calling out Iotash was not any help.

In fact, I think ghost stories can help keep history alive in people's memories. Maybe visiting sites like Anawan Rock is a way for them to participate in the events that happened in the past, much like visiting a museum.

It is a wonderfull historic place, one of my favorites in the area, but by allowing supersition to take over people often overlook the rich history we should respect. There is nothing supernatural or paranormal at Anawan Rock.

They all spoke similar languages and had similar cultures. I confess that its lazy of me to use the term Algonquin rather than to name the specific tribal group! <br /><br />Anonymous, I'd love to see your photos.
