Ringing Rock of Pennsylvania a Strange Musical Stone Field
A curious rock field three miles east of Pottstown in Montgomery County draws visitors with stones that emit distinct sounds when struck. Some rocks ring like an anvil bell or glass while others barely audible, and the hillside bears marks that look like hoofprints and hearts. The stones differ in weight and appearance from nearby rocks, and legends speak of a hollow beneath the site.

The passage then slips into a restless, incomplete reflection about people lying awake, turning over, and lingering on a blurred memory or fear.
