[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]In the forests of Southern Oregon exists a peculiar area that exhibits some unusual, mind-bending behaviors. Gravity seems to malfunction as objects lean unnaturally, perceptions are altered as the heights of your friends and family seem to morph and change relative to one another. This is the Oregon Vortex.
Reportedly, horses refused to enter this “forbidden area” as they could sense that something wasn’t quite right.
