The Adena mound, Hueston Woods

Ohio · USA · School

A burial mound in the Ohio woods dated to well before the common era, with a plaque before you reach it. Visitors describe being held back.

There is a burial mound in Hueston Woods near Oxford, Ohio, reached by a short walk from the road. A plaque before you get to it gives the dating, which places it well before the common era.

This is an Adena mound. The people who built it lived in the Ohio valley for something like a thousand years, and the mounds are their graves.

What visitors describe is a strong sensation of being held back as they approach, and photographs taken from the top that come back with shapes in them.

It is worth saying plainly what this site is. It is not a haunted attraction. It is a grave, roughly as old as anything human in this part of the world, and it is one of a great many across Ohio that were ploughed flat or dug into before anybody thought to stop.

Stay on the path and stay off the mound.
