It was time for more research on
time travel. Back to where it all began for me: a trip to the Oregon Vortex (http://www.oregonvortex.com).
I really do believe there is some
sort of magical science to that place and the others like it on earth: The Bermuda
Triangle and the Pyramids of Giza. Yup, those are the three places on earth
where magnetic vortices are the strongest. And I didn’t even need a passport or
airplane to get to the one near Gold Hills in Oregon.
The first time I visited the
Oregon Vortex and the House of Mystery was in July 1988. I remember it
distinctly because I was six months pregnant with my fourth daughter, Edye (the
cover model for Naked in the Winter Wind).
I got an upset stomach when I got near the strongest point of that magnetic anomaly.
So did my eldest daughter, but no one else in the family was bothered. This
time, no queasy tummy (and I was definitely not pregnant), but I couldn’t stand
up straight and I kept weaving in circles. The rotation is a common side effect
of the magnetic pull, but falling down wasn’t too common. Remember riding the
merry-go-round at the park (before they were condemned for being dangerous)?
You’d hop off and try to stand up and walk in a straight line, but your feet
wouldn’t cooperate. That’s exactly the same feeling.
My husband took a few photos.
They may not be professional grade, but they captured what we saw: the actual
shrinking of matter. Five of us stood on a powerful area of the vortex and
those in the audience could actually see us become smaller or taller. Yes, I
could feel it, too. Look at the two ladies in the middle and, although the
photos are from difference angles, you can still see the height difference.
Does all of this equate to time
travel? Well, since there is still no scientific evidence about what causes the
apparent shrinking and returning-to-normal pulsing of matter (weight is
affected, too), then I say, anything is possible.
But just to be sure, I didn’t
bring my holey Greek drachma and didn’t concentrate on the past. After all, I’m
pretty content here and now.
Besides, I didn’t have a daypack
and my smartphone isn’t solar-powered.
