High above the ghost town of Elkinsville, Indiana, is a mysterious place, one that’s baffled scientists and historians, since it was found, nearly 120 years ago. That place is Browning Mountain, and if the legend is true, it’s the ruins of an ancient civilization. To many, it’s commonly called, “Indiana’s Stonehenge.”
In this short film, the facts and legends of this place are told, as well as how to get there, if you dare climb Browning Mountain!

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 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.

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 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."

@@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!

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’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.

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.
@AdventureswithRoger
@AdventureswithRoger Жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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 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! 🙂

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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? 🤔🧐🤔

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.

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.

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.

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.

One of the many mysteries of the ancient world. I’ve been equally fascinated by the Inca stonework, stonework so precise, you can’t fit a knifeblade between a single crevice. They supposedly didn’t have the technology or tools required, but did it anyway. 🙂

@@AdventureswithRoger or what if?...LA Marzulli has had done research, written books and made docs about this very ancient head scratcher.

There’s even a Stonehenge at the bottom of Lake Michigan. Here in Indiana, there’s been many out-of-place artifacts as well, including a Viking rune stone, a tablet with ancient Welsh writing, and numerous Roman coins in various locations. Some can be dismissed as “planted to support ancestral claim”, family coins lost during a wagon train move, and downright fakery. But others are much harder to dismiss. I’ve got a few more leads to investigate, absolutely believe there’s more to the story.

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

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 I could give you an address that is for the house right across from the pull off for the trail head. Heck I’d even walk it with ya. It’s got a lot of local lore with it. Some say an old asylum was there but I think that’s a reach for what’s left there. More just to add to a ghost story. I may just go walk it myself and possibly send you some pics so you can possibly film it. It’s a good hike. And people have been known to get turned around and lost in there. Reluctantly confusing for sure. There’s also another land mark along the trial locals call “the big tree”. Huge tree that had fallen sum years ago that is larger than most any tree I’ve ever seen in Indiana.

@@trashinbass1247 If it’s a legit site that looks like something, sure I’d love to take a look. But don’t go trespassing or getting hurt on my part, it’s not worth it. I’ve gotten tripped up on a few awesome sites, filmed and published them, and then had to take them down. The owners claimed I was trespassing, one even sent an attorneys letter, despite no signs, and clearly being abandoned, by Indiana statute. Moral of story: no matter how cool it is, make sure it’s public access property, or you have owner written consent. Some landowners don’t understand that one film can bring hundreds of people, wanting to see with their own eyes! 🙂
