The only witches circle pictures that came out good are the ones in my hometown, Gaylordsville part New Milford Connecticut. It is in a very old
cemetery far off any main roads in that area. If one didn't know the area, one would easily get lost. From the front gate of the cemetery, to the circle at the pinnacle of the hill, there is a spiral path. The cemetery has levels since it is a steep hill (I don't know why they would of really built a cemetery on such a steep hill), that spirals towards the top.
That in itself isn't that strange because there are many cemeteries in this area that have step like levels because of the hilly and rocky terrain in
New England. The strange thing is that as the path spirals up towards the circle, the graves face towards the path on both sides. It took me a few hours to find the pattern of stones because at first it seemed like they were just facing in all different directions with no pattern. As you walk up this spiral path toward the top of the hill, the old stones face you on both sides, finally as you reach the circle of very old cedar trees at the top you notice that there are thirteen groups of trees. The main entrance to the circle is facing towards perfect north. Because of the circle of trees, there is no wind inside, which in it is kind of spooky because it could be twenty degrees outside and warm inside. I have never had any ghostly occurrences in this cemetery, and I have never seen any "witches" performing ceremonies in the circle. But it is definitely a strange experience because it makes you wonder, why did they make the cemetery like this? |

This is looking at the circle as you
are walking the spiral path up the hill. |

Here's a close up looking into the circle
facing north. |

Here's another close
up shot of the circle. In this shot you can see one stone in the middle facing towards the camera where the path is, and the other two are facing into the circle of trees. |
