The roaming stones of Death Valley

In California there is a place called Death Valley. Death Valley is a driedout lake and it was said to be cursed. More and more did it seem that the rocks were walking.

On the dry lake bed, there are numerous rocks. These rock have dragtrails behind them, asif they have been dragged ahead. There was, however, no appearant external influence. Yet, these stones were moving... Nobody ever saw them move, but research showed that when they would move, they would move fast. Calculations say about a meter per second.

When researchers try to explain the cause of this, a couple of theories where thout-up. The first stated that the valley might be on a slope and gravity pulls them down. The second stated it had something to do with magnetism. Both of these explainations were insufficient to explain the walking rocks. Because the rocks also make sudden turns. Up to a 90 degrees turn. Something that would be impossible, if explained with one of the above mentioned theories.

What makes these rocks walk?
