The Pennsylvania Mystery That Still Has No Clear Answer

Next time you go hiking in Bucks County, be sure to pack a hammer and don't be alarmed if you hear eerie sounds coming from deep inside the woods. No, these noises are not made by humans, animals, or even the movement of trees, but rather by a group of stationary boulders that emit a strange bell-like sound when struck. The Ringing Rocks phenomenon in Pennsylvania's Ringing Rocks County Park is a geological puzzle that has baffled people for centuries, and the science behind these rocks remains a mystery to this day.

New York’s youngest movers have a surprising favorite escape, and it isn’t Jersey City, Philly or Austin. According to U-Haul’s latest migration report , the top destination for Gen Zers leaving the New York City area is Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, the region that’s home to Allentown, Easton and Bethlehem, better known as “Christmas City USA.” What U-Haul found For its 2026 Midyear Migration Trends report, U-Haul analyzed one-way truck rentals from July 2025 through June 2026 and sorted them by generation, to see where people at different stages of life are actually moving.

David Martin's Ferry | Lehigh Valley Landmarks

In 1742, crossing the Delaware River at the Forks in Easton, Pennsylvania meant climbing into a canoe. Your horse did not get a seat.

There was just a ferryman, and he was a former New Jersey sheriff named David Martin.
