Oh, Jeff, this is freaky.

Yeah, it is.

I mean, it's like some kind of strange ritual going on here.

Yeah, there's robed figures holding torches, some strange stone monuments over there.

Are we sure we're in Connecticut, not some ancient site in Europe?

No, I can see the confusion, Ray.

This monument is a replica of England's most famous ancient site.

Its measurements and alignments are precisely set.

And though this Guilford, Connecticut site is nowhere near as old as the one in England,

and frankly, nowhere near as old as us, for that matter.

It's an enigma with quite a story behind it.

I can only imagine.

So we've come to Guilford, Connecticut,

to learn the secret origins of a monument called Circle of Life.

A monument built to not only thumb the nose at some locals,

but one that's also a replica of Stonehenge.

Hey, I'm Jeff Belanger.

And I'm Ray Osier.
