The Larabanga Mystic Stone is a sacred rock located on the outskirts of Larabanga, in the West Gonja District of Ghana’s Savannah Region. It is famous for its mysterious ability to return to its original location after being moved. In the 1950s, British road constructors made three failed attempts to relocate the stone while building a major road. Each time, the stone inexplicably reappeared at its original resting place, prompting the builders to reroute the road. Today, the stone remains undisturbed and is revered by locals as spiritually significant. It has become a popular tourist attraction, preserved by the community to share its legend and generate local income. Visitors to nearby landmarks, such as the Larabanga Mosque and Mole National Park, often stop by to witness the mystic stone and hear its story.
