A description of the experience
Lyall Watson – The Nature of things
A zoologist in search of bat roosts in Britain in the early 1970s … was tracking horseshoe bats with an ultrasonic detector and near dawn was surprised to hear a strong and regular signal coming from a group of standing stones. He searched the area for signs of life, found nothing and left with the strange feeling that the megaliths themselves were the source of the pulsing sound, singing out at sunrise like the colossal statue of Memnon seems to do at ancient Thebes.
