Spooky rocks that move by themselves

Inside Death Valley National Park in Racetrack Playa you can find these interesting rocks that apparently move by themselves. They’re on the floor of the playa with long trails behind them.
Somehow these rocks move across the playa, cutting a furrow in the sediment as they move.

No one knows or can give a real explanation, and no one has ever seen them in motion.
Some of these rocks are really heavy, so how do they move?

    The expansion and contraction of the ground would produce movement as the moisture content of the soil varied. The contraction and expansion of the soil would produce cracks as well as variance in the height of the soil.

    Faith must be pretty strong to move a mountain.

    Or maybe she’s just lying. I’m going with the latter.

    “Faith can move mountains.”

    She probably could, but she’d have her husband Tim McGraw do the work, I’m sure.
