There were four different locations in Western Australia that experienced the phenomena of "falling
stones", all within 300km of each other: Boddington (1946 unreported in press). Maynup near the town of
Boyup Brook (1955), Pumphyrey's Bridge (1957), and Borden(1962) where sandalwood nuts were involved. The
reports include description of stones ranging in size from a pebble to a stone of approximately 35 pounds.
The stones along with other objects were primarily reported as falling out of nowhere".
Falling stones are phenomena that have occured in other countries. Reports dating back centuries describe
similar phenomena, where people have bombarded with stones for extended periods of time. The following are
examples:
Sumatra 1903
"W.G. Grottendieck wrote about how small black stones, hot to touch, came raining down in his bedroom at
1am. The most bizarre aspect of the case is that the stones seemed to come through the roof wthout making
holes in it, and they fell, he said, in a motion that was flower than the normal".

Harrisonville, Ohio 1901
"The stones attack on this small village began on the Sunday afternoon.... a small boulder came crashing
through the window...and it was just the beginning. The next day, dozens of stones rained down in the
heart of the village, breaking windows and striking citizens. None of the villagers could detect where the
stones where coming from."

"A Limpodo woman says sheis being plagued by a hail of stones that follows her whereever she stays. Miyi
Shongi, 58, was kicked out of Lombani village by her terrified family and neighbours three weeks ago and
moved in with relatives in Nhombelani village, 30km away near Malamulele, the rain of stones followed her
there too. We were there nearly the whole night and saw the stones falling from the sky like rain said
Vhembe police spokesperson Ailwei Mushavhanamadi. We went aroun the area to make sure someone wasn't
throwing stones on the rook on purpose, but we didn't fine anyone."

Spirit Stones Overview Report
Marcinelle, Belgium, 1913
"For four days in January one house was besieged by an invisible stones thrower with remarkable accuracy.
Police officers began to watch the house in an attempt to catch the vandal, but one wrote in his report: "I
have seen a stone arriving in the middle of a large window-pane and then came other in spiral around the
first point of impact... I even saw, in another window a projectile caught in the fragments of the glass
of the first hole it made, and subsequently ejected by another passing through the same point." No stones
thrower was even seen, although an estimated 300 stones struch the house".

Ardeche, France 1921
"Most of these events are short-lived, lasting only a few days at most. But beginning September, a
farmhouse in France was victimized for four motnhs. The stones dropped at all hours of the day, sometimes
striking the family's children and clergyman who was called to investigate. In this case apples were also
thrown and again, with inhuman accuracy: apples came speeding in through small holes in the shudders made
by previous apples."
