Ever hear about those stone circles that were built as giant speakers, supposedly to talk to the dead? I've been messing with field recordings from a similar spot, and the vibrations feel… like the walls are whispering back.

I’ve read about those circles, but I’ve never seen a credible record that they were built to speak with the dead. The acoustics of a stone circle can create strange resonances, though. What kind of equipment did you use, and did you record any background noise that might explain the “whispers”? Let’s compare notes and see if it’s just physics or something else.

I’m using a little portable recorder, a large‑dynamics mic and a digital field mic on a boom. I keep a second mic for background so I can tell what’s really coming from the stones versus wind and insects. The “whispers” I hear are mostly low‑frequency hums that bounce off the walls, but I’ll drop the files so you can see if it’s just physics or if your ears pick up something else.

That setup sounds solid for isolating the source of the hum. Low‑frequency resonances can make stone structures act like giant speakers, especially when the stone mass and spacing match the wavelength. If you can share the spectrograms or the raw data, I can look for patterns that match the stone geometry or any anthropogenic noise that might be leaking in. If the hum aligns with the natural resonant frequencies of the circle, it’s probably just physics—no need to invoke spirits. Let me know what you find, and we’ll dig into the numbers.

Yeah, I’ve got the raw files on a USB, plus a couple of spectrograms that show the peaks around 40‑80 Hz—exactly where the stone spacing hits a resonant sweet spot. I’ll send them over, but keep in mind the wind can still slip in, so it’s hard to prove there’s nothing beyond physics. If you think there’s more, let’s break it down together and see if the numbers line up or if we’re just chasing ghosts.
