I remember someone saying the simplest most logical answer to "the unexplained" was probably the true one. Sure, but if you asked a neolithic man and a modern man the same question, both would have wildly different ideas on what it is that is simple or logical. Things we dont understand now might seem ridiculously simple to a future man too. Doesn't stop them being amazing right now.

Woke up in the middle of the night with a clawing sensation down the center of my back!!
I had something similar once. Dreamed I am lying exactly as I am in bed, but with the clawing thing like a giant chameleon on my back clawing me. Knew I was dreaming but decided to wake myself. Opened my eyes and it was still there. Freaked and leapt out of bed quicker than Sylvia Brown jumping on an orb. Felt a right eedgit.

What I find interesting, in the context of this thread, is that stones, locations, arrangements etc may have been chosen for properties now lost to us.
There's a kind of triangle of hot ufo activity over an area of Scotland near Falkirk, and its also an area where a freakishly high number of lottery wins are concentrated. Maybe it's lucky.

I would suggest that anyone interested in this topic reads the works of Paul Devereux.
I think it was Paul Devereux that pointed out the place where the stonehenge bluestones were quarried is particularly renowned for the floating balls of blue fire that happen there.

find folklore clusters talking of faerie-lore & similar material;
Funny, I was looking into the legends to connect with the lights that are often seen over Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh, and found some folklore which called them the "night shining jewels of the sky". Another one is apparantly regular over the Cromarty Firth.

Sense of being followed
Check out Fear Laith, the feeling of being followed becoming overpowering, and generating yeti like legends of the big grey man of the hills. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_liath. They put that down to infrasound too.

As ever, very interesting Branwen.

You will no doubt know about the Brocken spectre above Arthur’s Seat on the Salisbury Crags in Edinburgh. I have not done this walk myself; it is mentioned in a Ramblers publication and thought to be the inspiration behind James Hogg’s gothic novel The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner (1824).

Extract from Walkbritain - Great Views (Ramblers)
Walk around the summit on a chilly autumn morning, with the sun breaking through the mist, and you may well encounter a vision precisely the same kind that inspired Hogg’s terrifying account: a Brocken spectre. Caused by sunlight casting a shadow onto cloud below a ridge, this peculiar light effect is a common occurrence on Arthur’s seat.

Sorry to be a pedant, but it wasn't me that said that!
