Once my husband and I were traveling in the Pacific Northwest and stopped at the Oregon Vortex. The vortex is a sphere of force that also bends and refracts light and so during your stay, the tour guides demonstrate the phenomenon with a series of unexplainable parlor tricks. Very fun and very cool. They say that the Native American Indians and early settlers alike avoided the vortex as a place of strong magic since horses completely and utterly refuse to enter the vortex. My husband, a scientist and zoologist, thought the visit interesting but a little hokey – at least up until we noticed the popcorn.
Someone had spilled a whole box of popcorn on the ground
inside the vortex. The vortex is located within a heavily wooded and forested
area. And there the popcorn sat on the ground undisturbed – not a chipmunk or
squirrel or bird anywhere, no chickadee, starling or robin partaking in all
that popcorn. If you recall the story of Hansel and Gretel and the breadcrumbs,
this fact is more than a tad unusual. Then, as we looked up and around – there were
no animals anywhere. The forest was completely silent.
My husband simply said, “This is incorrect. Time to go.” So we left and left quickly. Just too spooky for us.
Have you ever experienced something strange that seemed to define explanation? I hope you’ll share it your experience or thoughts of strange experiences with me and our fellow readers.
