Initially labeled as Native American artwork, the Westford Knight wasn't what it seemed - not a sword but an imprint on a rock. In 1954, William Goodwin, Mystery Hill's owner, suggested it as a shattered Viking sword. He discussed this hypothesis in his 1946 book. The fun doesn't stop in 1954, when Frank Glynn, Connecticut's Archaeological Society president, sketched a full figure, resembling a medieval knight. This theory persists, with some claiming it marks a grave of a member from Henry I Sinclair’s party. However, there's zero proof of Sinclair's Massachusetts visit.
