GeddyRulz Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Does anyone live near, or has anyone ever visited, a so-called "Mystery Spot" or "Vortex"? They're a little hard to describe, but basically they're circular areas upon the Earth where physics goes crazy. For starters, the closer one moves to the epicenter of the circular area, the more one involuntarily leans towards its center. It seems as if there's a force pushing against you from the center, and you naturally lean against it to prevent falling over in the direction it's pushing you. In fact, all the physical anamolies which are perceived within these "mystery spots" follow the same premise: something invisible is pushing outward from the circle's center, and affecting natural properties within the area. We usually find "twisted" trees within these "vortexes" or "mystery spots." Another anamoly: perceived differences in one's height. My wife and I, facing each other on a level surface, might appear to cameras and other people to be equal in height, when in fact I'm taller. Switching places and still facing each other, I'm suddenly much much taller than she. A lot of these strange "mystery spots" have become tourist attractions, some operating for decades. Others lay on stretches of highway and affect cars driving on hills; in these places, the spot isn't owned by a private owner, and therefore admission cannot be charged.

treeduck Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Vortices (pronounced vortiseez) sounds better than vortexes as a plural but they're both correct... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobodys hero Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I've been to the mystery spot in California. Took a tour, it was pretty cool. I have a few pics of me standing at weird angles, but those were taken during my "big hair days" not sure I want to post them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushgoober Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I've been to a couple of these. I thought they were all trickery and optical illusions though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the only place Newton and Einstein have issues, if at all, are in the strongest gravitational forces near a black hole... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arndrake Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I went to the Oregon Vortex when I was a kid. Most of the effects that happen are in fact optical illusions. Vortices are distortions of the Earth's magnetic field, which affect compasses and radios. One of the best known vortices on the planet is the Bermuda Triangle.

launchpad67a Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I live 40 minutes from the most famous vortex spot on earth. Sedona, Arizona. I've been to a few of the so-called energy spots but didn't feel much of anything. http://www.sedona-spiritual-vacations.com/...experiences.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
