what i know about the lay line is that they are a powerful source. At Cahokia mounds where the lines lay are. As far as I know there was never a body found there or any shootings. the citys that are around them are washington park, national city, state park and granite city. the citys are very poor, and bad to walk in to. even the police are not to be trusted. but if you take a 1 mile circle around the mounds area it is safe to be in. i would never walk down when stairs when i got to the top of it. i am scared of heights. i think the united nations own the mounds but i am not for sure. I never did like that area. or even the granite city area. i have been sick with copd since i was a kid. it is a rare form. i say it is from the steel mills. but they would never admit to it. people in granite city age real fast and don't look right. i know alot of it is from the drugs but, i will say that the metal flakes that fly though the air in granite city has something to do with it too. i started comming to the ozarks on vacations in 1988. and there is something here that draws you here. it make you feel as if you are home and to never look back. you feel comfortable down here. i will never go back to granite again.
