On June 17th I made my 1st trip to Serpent Mound. My wife, daughter Sara and I went there to see the effigy. I was amazed. I never really imagined the size of it. It's over 4 football fields long. It's coils align with various Sun and Moon rising and settings through the year.
We went back a couple of days later to see the sunset on the Summer Solstice. This not an event to go to see if your Christian sensibilities are easily offended. There was a lot of people involved in various natural religions, such as, Wicca and Native American religions.
I went again with Roger Rice on July 5th for him to see it. We walked the path and trails around the serpent. We tested EMF around he serpent and found no anomalies. We tested compass results around the serpent. We found anomaly near the coils of the serpent's tail. We checked the compasses at a post marked with North. Everything was fine. We walked around the tail and as we stepped up on the stone path which crosses over the tail, I noticed that North was wrong on my compass. Roger wet over to the post so I could confirm my theory on the location of North. As he came back he noticed the compass on his IPhone was pointing the wrong way. My compass was pointing North-East as North and his IPhone was pointing North-West as North. We found no other anomalies. I suggest you avoid the heat of the Summer if you are going to the mound and try to enjoy and understand how historic this site is.
