LOCATION FILE
Ringing Rocks Park
Upper Black Eddy, PA
OVERVIEW
A boulder field of about seven acres in Bridgeton Township, Bucks County, where roughly a third of the diabase rocks ring with a clear metallic note when struck with a hammer. The field has been a curiosity since the nineteenth century; a concert was played on the rocks in 1890. It is a county park with a short trail to the field and a waterfall.
HISTORY
Geologists attribute the sound to internal stresses in the diabase; the field's origin — a frost-shattered slope with no soil — is understood. The pattern of which rocks ring is not fully explained.
REPORTED ACTIVITY
No haunting is claimed. The field is here, like the ice mine, as a documented natural mystery: a place where something plainly strange has a physical cause that investigators can hear for themselves.
VISITING
Open daily; bring a hammer. The rocks are uneven and the field has no shade.
