Regarded as the American Stonehenge, Mystery Hill in Salem is similar in social concepts but bears no physical resemblance to the English Megalith. Mystery Hill is a complex of stone structures and artificial caves dating back to the 17th century. The exact date cannot be determined due to damages done by a landowner in the 1930 who thought the site was the ruins of a 7th century Irish monastery. The site attracts a number of visitors and has also been used as a setting for an episode of the X-files.
