The following quote is from Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 2, “Standing Stones.” Copyright ©️1991 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“I had never heard such a sound from anything living. There is no way to describe it, except to say that it was the sort of scream you might expect from a stone. It was horrible.
The other stones began to shout. There was a noise of battle, and the cries of dying men and shattered horses. I shook my head violently to clear it, but the noise went on. I stumbled to my feet and staggered toward the edge of the circle. The sounds were all around me, making my teeth ache and my head spin. My vision began to blur.”

[> It seems like the stones are harder on Claire than others. The sound of buzzing bees is mentioned often, but Claire hears screams. I’m not a sci fi reader but Diana made this all seem SO possible, I couldn’t put it down and am still rereading all these years later. -- Kathy in PA, Tue, August 15 2023, 3:44:53
