    Westford Knight

    WestfordUnited States1395 / Pre-Colonial

    Located on a granite outcrop along Depot Street in Westford, Massachusetts, the Westford Knight is a mysterious rock carving that has ignited fierce historical debate and supernatural speculation for generations. Believed by alternative historians and local folklore enthusiasts to depict a 14th-century Knights Templar warrior who died during a secret 1395 Scottish expedition to North America led by Henry Sinclair, Earl of Orkney, the site is surrounded by dark legends. Visitors and researchers frequently report encounters with a phantom armored knight, disembodied metallic sounds, and unexplainable energy fields around the stone carving.
