After reading Amy Hotz's "25 Things You Didn't Know" Face Book for Wilmington, Number 24, I didn't know what a "Seneca Gun" was. Never heard of it before. Looked it up.
According to the USGS, is more of a name than an explanation. It is a noise sometimes accompanied by shakings. The name originally came from a short story by James Fennimore Cooper in the early 1800s about the strange noises around lakes Seneca and Cayuga in New York state.
The name also applies to the mysterious noises sometimes heard along the coasts of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.
I've been in North Carolina a lot, but have never heard one of these, other than some sonic booms around hometown of Goldsboro from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base.
So, That's a Seneca Gun? --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
