Rancocas Creek “Glow Rocks”

Tales along the Rancocas Creek going back as far as people knew of the Rancocas Creek were these stories of “glowing rocks” on the Rancocas. Lots of folks heard tell but well not many would commitment to first hand knowledge. Which is how tales and fables start. A question now arises of quartzite vs. phosphorus? Enclosed video introduces Rancocas Creek “Glow Rocks”. 1 minute video best viewed in dark room. Editing material for best presentations.
