- (continued from previous page)They dropped the stones down at the spot they were at and they are standing there since. Others say that these stones were set up as pagan gods. The pagans used to adore them.
There is another stone in Johnny Igoe's field. It is not very big. About six feet away from it there is another small one. They say that there was a giant buried there.
