"A friend and I decided to take a quick trip Sunday to check out what has been declared as one of the "Top 10 Weird Spots" of Lehigh Valley. We don't live far away and it was easy to find. Thinking we were going to a park that would be similar to Stonehenge in England - we tried to put our spiritual selves in the car and leave our cynicism behind.
We were pleasantly surprised by the Columcille Megalith. It is spread out over many acres and honestly - how did those rocks get into those particular and peculiar arrangements? The leaves were peaking on the trees as we walked freely over the walking path and through Thor's Gate and along the rest of the over 80 standing stones.
Nestled in the woods along the Kitatinni Ridge of the Appalachian Mountains, we found the Columcille to be more mysterious than necessarily weird. What was whispering over the wind through the trees? Was something or someone trying to speak with us - or were we just caught up in the tales and mystery of the Columcille?"
To visit Columcille and the other Weird spots of Lehigh Valley, PA try our 'Weird U.S. Getaway Package' for $31 off in the month of October!

Clearly we must see that the land where this sits was weak and could not hold the foundation of stone being constructed for the chaple. Could St Oran be lurking in the land of lehigh Vally. Could he be reminding us that 'the way you think it is may not be the way it is at all"?
"What was whispering over the wind through the trees?" The message was to stop and appreciate the beauty of gods work and absorb the earth into soul for a deep cleansing...
This is just another example of how wondrous our world is. We all should take time and contemplate what wonders we can leave as our legacy.
I almost went there this summer but could not squeeze it into our vacation, but did visit the grand canyon of PA which is a must see in north central PA.
I am glad to see that no one pulled a "Clark Griswold" and knocked any of the stones over!
It's amazing what you can find in your own "backyard".
reminds me of Braveheart. Get me my Standard and a white horse.
Wow! I've never heard of that before! Quite fascinating!
I love these WEIRD postings!!!
So many off-the-beaten path things to discover..
in your own back yard
I have been to Stonehenge in England and it is truly remarkable. I did not know I can view similiar geological formations in my own backyard. Can't wait to check it out.
