It seems there is more to this blog now, hopefully you can feel my love for the past. Originally I started this blog for myself, my little space to keep all my research notes, price realized and my photo creations. Because I buy too much, occasionally I sell my items Vintage prom, purses, antiques and incredible Edwardian jewelry. I am on a constant mission to discover treasures I love one-of-a-kind items, no one else has.
#Gold hill oregon vortex movie#
I know it’s just a movie but, I feel if people would act that kind the world would be a better place to live.
My favorite actress is Juliette Binoche, in the movie Chocolat. I love period movies: Horseman on the Roof, Wuthering Heights, The Woodlanders, Tess of the d’Urbervilles, Bleak house, and John Adams. … I am so… sentimental and concerned with things of the past…my family and friends cease to talk to me at times. I love old things! I’ve been collecting Vintage and antiques since I was practically a kid! I love researching the Edwardian era. John Litster detailed his observations in his “Notes and Data Relative to the Phenomenon at the Area of the House of Mystery in 1944.” James Randi, a reformed magician and illusionist, deconstructed its science in 1998, using photography and math to describe the claims of the Oregon Vortex as optical illusions. Herbert Lundy touted the popularity of the Vortex as early as April 1938 in the Portland Oregonian.
Born in Alva, Scotland, on April 30, 1886, Litster spent years researching the paranormal phenomena of the 165-foot magnet radius, which is said to bend light, defy gravity, and alter mass.Īfter Litster’s death on December 4, 1959, his wife Mildred sold the Oregon Vortex to Irene and Ernie Cooper, whose daughter Maria and grandson Mark have continued to keep the attraction open to the public. The Old Grey Eagle Mining Company outpost and nearly collapsed assay house were re-discovered in 1914 by prospector William McCollugh, who persuaded his friend, engineer and geologist John Litster, to travel to the United States. Open to tourists in 1930, the attraction is the earliest documented mystery spot or gravitational hill in the United States-a place where bubble levels, tape measures, yard sticks, balls that roll uphill, and plumb lines are used to demonstrate the phenomena. The Oregon Vortex and House of Mystery, located on Sardine Creek in Gold Hill, is one of Oregon’s oldest and most original examples of Roadside Americana.
