In this section we're going to list and discuss some very interesting Triangles and vortex'.  Area in this country that seem to defy every law of physics and even the everyday laws of nature as we understand them.  We're going to start with one that we at OTF are very interested in, and hope to investigate someday.

The Oregon Vortex

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 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. The Phenomena that gives The Oregon Vortex its name are evident throughout the entire area.

The House of Mystery itself was originally an assay office and later used for tool storage, built by the Old Grey Eagle Mining Company in 1904. But the history of the surrounding area, 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.

According to the owners of oregonvortex.com, the vortex is a place where the improbable and common place, and the everyday physical facts are reversed.  it has naturally occurring visual and perceptual phenomena that can be captured on film.

The Spooksville Triangle

The famed Spooksville Triangle is area that roughly runs from Joplin, Missouri to Miami(or Quapaw), Oklahoma, to Baxter Springs Kansas.  Here strange lights have been reported for many years. The area is crossed by Highway 44 and numerous smaller roads which make the viewing of these unexplained lights possible.

One of the roads is known as "The Devils Promenade".

The lights that have been seen in this area have generally been reported for well over 100 years. Most often they have been seen hovering over deserted roads and fields, and while they may be some sort of natural phenomena that we do not as yet understand, they definitely fall into the category of unexplained phenomena.

In Oklahoma, the Miami Spook Light has been seen since the late 1800's. The legend behind the light says that it is the lantern of a woman searching for her missing daughter. The story goes that a woman sent her daughter out to look for some stray cows in heavy fog. The girl took a lantern with her to light the way but after several hours did not return. Her mother took the other lantern and went out to search for her, going back out night after night until she went insane with grief. When the woman died, her spirit returned to the hills and is said to still walk on cool, foggy nights. The light which appears near Miami is said to be that of the mother's lantern as she still continues to search for the daughter who never came home.
