And so it was that the King became the King Stone, his men the King's Men Stone Circle, and his treacherous and conniving knights the Whispering Knights, although some say that the knights were actually at prayer. Tradition has it that one day the spell will be broken. The King and his men will return to life and continue with their conquest of England. There is a great deal of folklore associated with the stones. Young women were rumoured to touch the King stone with their breasts at midnight for fertility.
Fairies live under the stones.
The stones dance. They go down to the stream to drink. The witch bleeds when cut in blossom. Witches have met there since time immemorial. It has also been claimed that these stones actually have the ability to heal, move, or even cause electric shocks.
