The most mysterious place in Charnwood Forest is the Hanging Stone near Oaks in Charnwood. hardly anyone has heard of it and very few have visited it. It is a secret place. Very few have been there on nights when the full moon illuminates the eerie flat landscape. On the one night a year when the instant of the full moon occurs during he darkness of a Sunday the Power of the Stone is said to be at its greatest... There is a local tradition that lads must climb The Stone before any girl will take them in wedlock... Climb at twilight. Feel the power.
Between a place called Charley and Whitwick is an object which attracts; by some it is also called the Hanging Stone; it is one stone upon another; the former appears to have no support, or rather stay; it is balanced with nicest judgement; a gentle push you would suppose; would bring it to the ground; yet it has stood for ages, apparently, miraculously preserved.
