I lived in London for a year on assignment for my employer and had an opportunity to visit Stonehenge and walk the surrounding plain. It was a fascinating and at the same time very foreboding experience for me.

It may have been the gray, overcast December sky and cold winds blowing over the barren plain at the time of my visit, but I still remember the eeriness and sense of dread all about the place. In the pop culture vernacular of today, it was apparent the place had "unresolved issues”.

Even when I walked away from my traveling companion on a solitary stroll around the stones, I felt something or someone was near me. It was a very strange, unsettling place for me and I’m not eager to return there.

The research team says there is evidence from old maps and ancient sources for other similar monuments near Stonehenge

Early attempts at networking?
