In 1872, Seneca A. Ladd discovered an out-of-place artifact in Meredith, NH, on the western shores of Lake Winni. An artifact that, to this day, has created more questions than answers. Did natives leave behind this artifact? Was it your mom's birthing stone? Did Aliens give humans a gift? Or is it all one big hoax? In this episode, The Gang explores the mystery of the Lake Winnipesaukee Mystery Stone.
