Oregon Vortex

added28 August 2026

A hillside in Oregon with a tilted cabin where balls appear to roll uphill and a person's height seems to change from spot to spot. A classic "mystery house" — the effect comes from sloped planes and a missing true horizon.

FolkloreYellow

Mount Shasta

A volcano in northern California surrounded by perhaps the densest tangle of esoteric legend in America — from Telos, an underground Lemurian city, to reports of glowing objects above the summit.

Bluff Creek and Wallace's Wooden Feet

In August 1958 the bulldozer operator Jerry Crew brought a plaster cast of a sixteen-inch footprint into the office of the Humboldt Times, taken from a logging road at Bluff Creek in northern California. The headline coined the word Bigfoot and the story went national — this is where the creature got its name. The contractor on that road was Ray Wallace. After he died in 2002 his family showed reporters a pair of feet carved from alder that he had used to make the prints, and said he had been doing it from the start. His son put it plainly: the reality is, there is no Bigfoot.

UFO sightingYellow

McMinnville and the Trent Photographs

On 11 May 1950 Evelyn Trent went out to feed the rabbits on a farm outside this Oregon town and saw a metallic disc drifting slowly over the field. She called her husband, who managed two photographs before the object went off to the west. The Trents did not try to profit: they finished the roll, left it at the local chemist, and the pictures reached a newspaper through a banker they knew. The frames have been argued over for decades — a 1969 analysis for the Condon Committee found no sign of a suspension or a montage, while later work points to a possible model hung on a wire under the power lines. They remain the two most famous photographs in the subject, and the argument has not closed.

Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle (also known as the "Devil's Triangle") is a loosely defined oceanic region in the western North Atlantic, conventionally demarcated by points connecting the Bermuda archipelago, Miami (Florida), and San Juan (Puerto Rico). Encompassing an area of roughly 1 to 1.5 million square kilometers, the sector encompasses the Florida Straits, the Bahamas, and portions of the Sargasso Sea. Throughout the latter half of the 20th century, the zone became the premier global archetype of maritime and aviation lore, reputed across popular culture for the unexplainable disappearance of dozens of vessels and aircraft.

Kashkulak Cave

Kashkulak Cave (colloquially known as the "Cave of the Black Devil" or the "White Shaman's Cave") is a karst cavern system in the Batenevsky Ridge of the Kuznetsk Alatau mountains, situated in the Shirinsky District of Khakassia, Russia. Featuring a three-tier network of galleries descending to a depth of 49 meters with over 800 meters of mapped corridors, the site earned notoriety in the late Soviet period as an anomalous subterranean hotspot where explorers and scientists experienced acute panic attacks, disorientation, and waking hallucinations.

The Molebka Triangle

The Molebka Triangle (also known as the M-Zone or the Perm Anomalous Zone) is a geographic area spanning roughly 70 square kilometers in the Kishertsky District of Perm Krai, Russia, situated along the Sylva River near the historic village of Molebka. In the late 1980s, this remote pocket of Ural taiga transformed into the Soviet Union's first and most famous recognized "paranormal zone," becoming a global epicenter for UFO tourism and ufological expeditions.
