I'm sure we've had plenty of unusual experiences at sites! Probably, as Rupert said some way above, due to the fact we've spent so long at ancient sites that something unusual's BOUND to happen! ;)
I was once asked (under hypnosis) to try and describe an object that had been wrapped and placed in a box (without me seeing what it was or being told anything about it). With my hands on said box I started by saying it was grey, smooth, heavy and roughly pear-shaped - in a 'flat' sort of way. Coming out of hypnosis, I had a very vivid image of standing on the top of a grassy hill with another man; the wind was blowing though our hair (I could actually hear the sound of the wind as it did so) and he and I both held some sort of weapon. There was something very 'long ago' about this image. When the box was opened, and the object unwrapped, it turned out to be a grey, 'pear-shaped' Neolithic axe head.

Perhaps there was no connection between the axe in the box and my image of standing on a hill with someone else. Perhaps it was telepathy (if you believe in telepathy) between me and the person who put the axe in the box. Perhaps I really was picking up 'something' from the axe - who knows.

There is, however, a postscript to the story; many years later I climbed Waden Hill with someone and, as we stood on the summit looking out across the Downs towards West Kennet Long Barrow, with the wind blowing through our hair, I had a very funny feeling that he and I had done that before - a very long time ago...

Very interesting, I've come across a belief that stones hold some kind of record of events before, and that some people can read them, as it were. In Scotland there is a saying "tell it to the stones" because they will listen but keep it to themselves, and because of the fact some stones, often ones in stone circles, are soul stones (basically a gravestone over buried remains) that has absorbed the person's spirit. If you have that talent under hypnosis, perhaps you should try a self hypnosis technique that gets you into the same frame of mind. If you use it often enough, and have a trigger, like a poem, that you recite as you meditate, then sitting in a stone circle and reciting the first line should trigger you to be in the same state of mental awareness and you might "see" more.
