The old cabin at the Vortex

Visitors to the Oregon Vortex at Gold Hill have repeatedly described a man standing at the top of the sloping floor of the old log cabin.

He leans against the wall, laughing, plucking at an eyebrow.

They then ask the guide who he is, which is how these reports come to be recorded at all: the visitors did not think they were seeing anything unusual.

He is identified as John Litster, the Scottish scientist who studied and developed the site.

The Vortex itself is a house of the tilted sort, where the slanted floor and walls make people appear to change height and balls seem to roll uphill. The effects are optical and the building is deliberately out of true, which the operators have never seriously denied.

That a man seen there is described with a specific habitual gesture is a different sort of claim.

The site is open to visitors in season.
