This stone is one of the newest mysteries associated with the North-West of Russia. For the first time, they wrote about him in the manuscript of Konstantin Saks, dedicated to the study of the legends of Ingermanland. There, it was said that in case of difficult times, one should approach a certain Lucky stone and ask for help, when the stone sings, everything will come true.
There was a unique artifact on the Soykin Peninsula.
After a short investigation by ethnographers, it became clear that the Ringing Stone was not a product of the local population's fantasies. It was widely known to the local population, and in a strange way disappeared about 20 years ago, some said that it was destroyed, others argued that it simply ceased to sound.
One of the last evidences of the sound of the stone is associated with the period of the early 2000s, but after the construction of "Magnitka" it was really lost.
Ringing Stones Cult
There are also stone analogues, they are located both on the territory of the Russian Federation and in some of the Baltic countries. At the same time, of interest is also the name of the tract, where the Ringing Stone presumably was - Kolganpa, most likely this toponym comes from "kalg or kolg", then it can be translated from Swedish as a bell, chime. Interestingly, in Sweden, there is a Klockestenen seid.
Most likely, there is a definite connection between the ancient sacred places where stones with unique acoustic properties were located and the toponym "kalg or kolg".

This cult was widespread in the North-West region of Russia and Scandinavia. The lost stone of the Soykin Peninsula is not unique. Its special place in the history of the mysterious places of the Leningrad region lies in the fact that it was the only one in the region and could become a valuable source of historical information about the cults of the ancient Karelians, Balts and other inhabitants of this territory.
