The Mystery House at the Oregon Vortex is a tourist trap wrapped around an anomaly. There seems to be something there. They say horses and mules would refuse to go into the area. There are no squirrels, chipmunks or other small animals that would stay in the area (we didn't see any) and birds that build nests there abandon them. It didn't stop miners from digging out all the gold in the area, but people aren't as smart as animals. An old mining building from early 1900's was used for a few years and when the gold played out, sat on the land abandoned. Suddenly, in 1911, the building slipped off it's foundation at the weird angle it sits today. It's held by cables for the safety of visitors. While standing on a level platform, people are supposed to get larger or smaller depending on whether they are near the center of the vortex or further from it. We felt something while we were there, but maybe we're just hungry.
