Description
On a limestone ridge in Oxfordshire, England, are the remains of a large circle called the Rollright Stones. There are many stories about this mysterious circle. According to local residents, the stones were once a king with his knights. An evil witch turned the king into the King Stone, a large monolith 245 meters away from the circle and the knights into the circle itself. At midnight, the stones come back to life and the king and his knights dance hand in hand in a circle.
