Much later, the natives of the area started making arrowheads out of the material, calling it "whispering rock" (rough translation). When settlers founded a town called Shaky Claim in the area, many soon lapsed into madness, leading Houston Thorney to build an asylum to house the victims of the hysteria. The asylum finally closed when the government evicted the last residents of Shaky Claim, flooding the area into what is now Lake Oblongata.

Much later, the natives of the area started making arrowheads out of the material, calling it "whispering rock" (rough translation).

The asylum finally closed when the government evicted the last residents of Shaky Claim, flooding the area into what is now Lake Oblongata. Many years later, Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp was created in the vicinity of the lake. Deposits of Psitanium arrowheads buried by the natives are used as currency there. It is also the home of the largest Psitanium deposit in the world, located in Ford's Sanctuary. Furthermore, various animals at camp, such as cougars and bears, have been psychically mutated, gaining psychic abilities.
