Smile Coral Castle

There has been some publicity lately about a Latvian immigrant who allegedly built the Coral Castle at Homestead, Florida ( <a href="http://www.coralcastle.com/home.asp" target="_blank">http://www.coralcastle.com/home.asp</a> ) using paranormal powers. I would appreciate some feedback from others interested in investigating this claim.

Thumbs down

What's to debunk, anyway?

On the one hand, they make claims that nobody ever saw the guy working. On the other hand, on their <a href="http://www.coralcastle.com/Pictures.asp" target="_blank">Pictures</a> page, they have pictures of him working, including at least three pictures of the machines he used to wrestle the coral into place, including this one:


It seems to me that they've just adopted some cute local legends as part of their speil so as to increase interest in the place. But I don't see any real attempt to pass the place off as the product of supernatural powers......
