Every Eagle fan knows that when you smash a Giants or Cowboys fan over the head with a beer bottle, his skull will clang like a bell. It's an unexplained natural phenomenon.

​

However, Eagles tickets are expensive (especially for divisional games) and the Giants and Cowboys each visit only one day a year. If you are looking for a less costly alternative that's available anytime, we have a suggestion for you.

​

Ringing Rocks Park.

In a place known as Upper Black Eddy, Pennsylvania – just a short distance from the Delaware River in Bucks County (Philadelphia’s neighbor to the north) – there is a peaceful forest surrounding a mysterious 7-acre open field of giant boulders.  Nobody knows how they got there, which is freaky enough, but get this – if you tap a boulder with a hammer, there’s a good chance it will clang and vibrate just like a bell!

​

Ringing Rocks County Park has attracted scientists, who have tried to explain what makes the rocks ring, and why only some ring and others do not, even though they all have the same mineral composition.

 

It has also attracted musicians, such as a certain hammer-wielding Dr. J. J. Ott – who in 1890 treated the Buckwampum Historical Society to a “rock concert," accompanied by a brass band.

 

And not surprisingly, it has attracted New Age spiritualists – some of whom claim the park was once a sacred Lenape Indian gathering place, and that it is located at a convergence point of “earth energy” lines.

 

But the truth is that you do not need a background in either science, music or spirituality to enjoy Ringing Rocks Park.  All you really need is two hours, a pair of comfortable sneakers, and a hammer.
