Do you ever pass through areas that give you a strange feeling?
You may see beauty and feel awed. You may be chilled by a breeze.
You may hear leaves rustling and smell sweet blooms.

But you can't shake the feeling something else is there.
Maybe it's a physical thing; maybe not.
Is it these questions that create the psychic energy of a place? Or is it something that's actually there?

How did that cave get there and how far does it go? 
What lives in it? Who brought the ivy that hides its mouth?
