must be seen to be believed

On a hillside in southwest Oregon, there is a circular area of about 165 feet 
diameter in which strange phenomena occur. For example, at certain locations 
within this "vortex," compasses and light meters behave erratically and people 
standing in a relaxed position will stand at an angle or sway back and forth at 
22 second intervals. The most noticeable effect is that of apparent changes in 
size of objects and people. In some areas of the vortex, when two people are 
placed opposite each other on level ground and along a north/south axis, each 
person will be measurably smaller on the left side than when positioned on the 
right side. This effect is noticed by the people themselves as well as by any 
observer. Scientists have studied this area, which Native Americans called "the 
forbidden ground," and have given a variety of explanations. One recurring 
proposition is that the anomalies are related to a dense ore deposit in the 
ground. Some theorize that the apparent change in size is only an optical or 
light effect. Others, however, consider the change to be physical, and note 
that blind persons can sense the changes in size by touch and hear the other 
person's voice coming from an elevated or lowered position. Despite all the 
measurements and calculations no one has yet succeeded in fully explaining the 
phenomena in accordance with accepted scientific models.

Scottish scientist John Lister visited the VORTEX area in 1913. After 
performing more than 14,000 experiments, Lister concluded the VORTEX acts like 
a giant refracting lens, bending the light in a circular, or vortical motion. 
He thought of the effect was an optical illusion. The VORTEX staff disagrees. 
Use your camera. You can prove it's no illusion. Albert Einstein developed the 
second theory about the VORTEX. He thought the phenomenon was more than just 
optical, that it was something we could also feel. Because the VORTEX actually 
expands and contracts as much as 19 inches several times daily, Einstein 
thought a person�s molecular structure also expands or contracts as they walk 
through the area, keeping the same proportions as before.

The Oregon Vortex, goes way back to the time of the Native Americans. Their 
horses would not come into the affected area, so they wouldn't. The Native 
Americans called the area the "Forbidden Ground", a place to be shunned. Many 
years before The House of Mystery was built, it was noted that unusual 
conditions existed there. But it was not until well into the 20th century that 
any effort was made toward a scientific analysis of the disturbance.

"John Lister's definition was it's an anti-gravitational electromagnetic 
field," of which there are many around the world, Cooper explained. "This is a 
repelling one. The Bermuda Triangle is an attracting one."

If it were truly possible that the Earth's magnetic field could produce such 
spirals of energy, then we should expect there to be places where it would be 
very evidential that something anomalous was occurring. Certainly Sanderson's 
work on the "vile vortices" like the Bermuda Triangle satisfies this, as does 
Munck's mention of the anomalies surrounding Rock Lake in Wisconsin. There is 
another area that also obviously falls under this effect, and that is the area 
known as the Oregon Vortex.

This is NOT a scam. The Oregon Vortex is the most baffling phenomenon I have 
ever encountered personally. I'm a very level-headed, scientifically inclined 
person, and the fact that no one (e.g., a physicist) has not been able to 
discover the CAUSE of the obvious alterations in gravity and/or molecular 
spacing in objects within the vortex's boundaries is very frustrating to me. 
Something unusual is clearly going on there.

As objects move toward magnetic north, they appear to get shorter, and as they 
move toward magnetic south, they appear to get taller. You can actually see 
this phenomenon in action as two individuals on a level platform seem to change 
in height as they switch places. Several explanations for this occurrence have 
been suggested. Perhaps the magnetic anomaly is warping the light and thus what 
we see. Or perhaps the anomaly is actually causing mass to compress as it moves 
toward magnetic north. Whatever the reason (and no one has actually been able 
to prove any one theory), it is an astounding and baffling phenomenon to 
witness!

A bit of science: �The Oregon Vortex is a spherical field of force, half above 
the ground and half below the ground. The word "vortex" simply means a whirpool 
[sic] of force, like a whirling mass of water, especially one in which a force 
of suction operates, such as a whirlpool or a whirling mass of air, especially 
one in the form of a visible column or spiral, such as a tornado. A vortex, 
essentially a whirlpool of force, is the basic form of our universe. From our 
galaxy, whose vortex form we see as the countless suns of the Milky Way�" 
There's no mystery, no magic, no vortex... [in Oregon].

People don't just stumble on the Oregon Vortex, they've already heard of it. 
They're watching for the signs along Interstate 5. They want to believe.

Gold Hill, Oregon Vortex
People have felt there was something not quite right about this hill for 
hundreds of years. Indians called it the "Forbidden Ground", and white settlers 
in 1864 talked of "something wrong" here. The unease felt by people on the hill 
may have made them receptive to paranormal experiences. John Litster, a 
Scottish physicist, for instance, came to the site in 1914, and spent the rest 
of his life studying what he considered to be "aberrations in the light field 
and gravity." The site became a tourist attraction in 1930, and thousands of 
people have experiences both entertaining illusions, and the authentic effects 
of the Oregon Vortex. The House of Mystery on the site was used as an assay 
office for gold mining company until it collapsed sideways in a thunderstorm. 
The strongest vortex concentration is said to be directly behind the building. 
The whirling energy is believed to distort photographs taken there.

Nick Nelson is a Renaissance Man of the American West. He's a prospector, 
scientist, inventor, artist, writer, speaker, storyteller, and one of the 
world's leading experts on vortexes. His book, The Golden Vortex, solves many 
mysteries concerning The Oregon Vortex, the Bermuda Triangle, the Pyramids, 
portals, magnets, and maps of the Western United States with clear reference to 
the most advanced superstring mathematics and quantum physics of our time. He 
has described a motor magnet, discovered the Nelson Coordinates, and invented 
Henri, the world's first portable vortex. Nick lives in Gold Hill, Oregon, 
where he was the interpretive guide at The Oregon Vortex the past two years.

The discoveries described in 'The Golden Vortex' are based on extensive 
research and direct observation of the Oregon Vortex and other 'mystery spots' 
where unexplained anomalies occur. The author has found a direct correlation 
between the Vortex phenomena and magnetic fields which I think will change 
science in a fundamental way...
