I really don't know what to make of this episode. It was very creepy, and had time travel, but I don't really know what it means. Is there a moral here? Is it literally just "don't mess with sacred monuments you find on a walk in the countryside"?

And yes, as said above, if it was Ruby all along (somehow?) what made people scared?

Still, not a bad episode, but somehow a bit unsatisfying.

Is there a moral here?

Honestly, I don't think so. It doesn't seem like that kind of story to me.
