    There have been a few legendary explanations, which I forget, but Echo Point/The Center of the Universe in Tulsa is freaky.

    There’s a pedestrian bridge going over the tracks downtown. Very cool place! One small spot is quite special.

    If you stand on it and speak, you’ll hear your own words echoing in your ear. A listener 4’ feet away hears nothing unusual. You must stand on the flagstone, even 1’ away and you lose the effect.

      I was literally going to mention the Center of the Universe lol. It’s got some crazy acoustics.

      One of our haunted houses called the Hex House is based on a legend of a lady who kept a couple of women “hexed” as slaves in her basement. The police found them and the owner did jail time.
