SPIRITS IN STONE: HUDSON VALLEY MEGALITHS, CAIRNS & SERPENT WALLS | Researcher | Glenn Kreisberg
Glenn Kreisberg is a researcher, engineer, author of Spirits in Stone: The Secrets of Megalithic America and co-founder of The Overlook Mountain Center in Woodstock, New York. For this in-the-field episode, we visit a mysterious archaeological site, a mountainside covered in signs of ancient indigenous habitation, enigmatic cairns and serpentine walls. After a reading of early 19th-century accounts from the likes of Lewis & Clark about stone heaps and large stone worship in Native American culture, we begin an intriguing & controversial conversation about the differences in opinion of the origin of the mysterious stone structures dotted across the Hudson River Valley. Are they merely the remnants of colonial farm life? Are they much older Native American ceremonial landscapes? Do some have astrological alignments to the stars and solstices? And for what purpose were they made? After touring Overlook Mountain, we hike along a ragged ridge top to what appears to be a megalith perched upon a peg. Throughout are wild musings on possible Celtic influence, the study of orbs, psychedelics and the return of the goddess.
