Indiana is bursting with natural beauty, from the incredible sandy dunes in the northwest to the rolling hills in the south. Despite all this beauty, there are still a few places that are a little creepy when viewed up close. This one spot, deep in the woods, is like something out of a horror movie.
Located deep in the Hoosier National Forest is a small spot known to many as Browning Hill or Browning Mountain. This peak is known as Indiana's Stonehenge, and the rumors vary as to why.
This site has large slabs of sandstone in a seemingly purposeful formation at the top of the hill. Theories abound as to why. Many believe it was a sacred Native American site while others believe it is the remains of an ancient temple.
