Kokino Megalithic Observatory (Tatićev Kamen)

Kokino is a Bronze Age archaeological site situated on the Tatićev Kamen summit (about 1,010–1,030 m above sea level) near the hamlet of Kokino in Staro Nagoričane Municipality, approximately 30 km from Kumanovo and roughly 6 km from the Serbian border. Discovered in 2001 by archaeologist Jovica Stankovski, the site contains material dating from the early Bronze Age (circa 19th century BC) through to the 7th century BC, with particularly numerous Middle Bronze Age finds and an Iron Age agglomeration identified in 2009. In 2002 Stankovski and Gorje Cenev published an interpretation describing parts of Kokino as a "megalithic observatory and sacred site," an archaeoastronomical/ritual-function claim that has formed part of the site's modern identity. Administrative actions recorded in the supplied sources include a declaration of "property under temporary protection" by the Cultural Heritage Protection Office of Macedonia on 13 November 2008 and designation of Kokino as a priority in the Ministry of Culture's 2009 programme; the Republic of Macedonia also proposed the site for consideration on the World Heritage list in 2009. The provided sources are archaeological and administrative in nature and do not report any hauntings, apparitions, restless spirits, named supernatural entities, witness testimony, or other paranormal claims associated with Kokino. Any assertions that Kokino is haunted or hosts restless spirits are not supported by the cited materials and remain uncorroborated in these sources.
