Iroquois "Okie" or Spirit Stones in Northern Indiana Associated with Paranormal Activity
At each of these three sites where the Iroquois placed "Spirit Stones" Paranormal Activity has been reported. Near the stone bowl at Roann is a place called the Okie Pinokie Woods that is supposedly filled with disembodied spirits. One paranormal investigator reported a sense of dread and the feeling that something wanted him to leave immediately when he took the gravel road to the river at the Mississenewa Battleground site. The gravel road takes you really close to the Iroquois Okie stone.

Associated with the Iroquois are larger sacred boulders that are called “Okies.” These boulder erratics from the melting ice sheets are usually found in odd spots, in a river or next to spring. It was believed that the boulders marked the presence of spirits.
