Vortex: The gateway to the Spirit World?

 Vortex: The Gateway to the spirit world?
This article features: The Warehouse on the Canal in Canal Fulton which is the home of Ohio's Edgar Allan Poe Theater and is considered the Center for Ohio's Paranormal, Supernatural and the Macabre.
By definition, a vortex is a spinning, often turbulent, flow of fluid. But, we are not talking about this type of vortex. In the paranormal when you talk about a vortex you are referring to an area of concentrated energy that can act as a portal for spirits traveling between the spirit world and this world.  When one encounters a vortex they may feel a range of sensations from a slight tingling on the exposed skin, to a vibration emanating from the ground, a sense of swaying, light headed, a feeling of being sucked into the ground among other sensations.  Mediums and others who are sensitive often get headaches and are unable to stay even in the area around the vortex itself.
At the Warehouse we have a very strong vortex that we discovered by accident. We noticed that a number of people were feeling light headed and a little dizzy around a certain area located in the basement that was a mortuary from 1916- 1936. Mediums and others who were sensitive did not feel comfortable within this particular area as they developed severe headaches as they sensed and felt the concentrated energy flow. To identify the center of the vortex I drew a line to match up the points that people felt the strongest.
The following are a few of the actual accounts of the experiences in the Warehouse vortex:
One person who repeatedly stepped into the vortex had their glasses immediately fogged up, and, when they stepped out their glasses immediately cleared up.
One person in a motorized wheelchair went into the vortex and the wheelchair stopped working. She along with her wheelchair had to be physically lifted out of the vortex where her wheelchair immediately then began to work again
One of my most memorable was when a pregnant woman refused to go anywhere near the vortex. Her husband kept urging her on, but, she was adamant. When I asked her why she did not want to go she replied, “This is going to sound crazy, but, it is though her baby did not want her to go as he was kicking her like mad”.
Channel 5 TV had placed a “ghost cam” looking down on the vortex that did not identify what it was that gave their viewers a chance to watch on the internet with the opportunity to comment on anything that they may have seen. In 9 years of doing the ghost cam they had never received the number of comments as they did from our vortex area where people saw faces and bodies coming up out of the vortex area.
So; if you have a portal how do you keep out undesirable spirits? It looks like that we have help from the other side. Lester is the dominant spirit in the building and is the guardian of the doorway. According to Helen the medium we work with, she sees it like this;
All ghosts can tell when there are people around them with a negative or positive attitude towards them. If Lester were to find some negative spirit that was attempting to come through the vortex, he would tell it was not welcome and would make sure it would not come out of the vortex. If that negative energy were somehow stronger than Lester, then Lester would ask those around him to come to the vortex to help him keep the negative spirit out.
 It would be like the shoot out at the OK corral-the good guys against the bad guys.
 Spirits have morals just as we do and those morals go on with us to the other side. If you were a fair and honorable person in life, then you will be the same on the other side. If you were nasty and dishonorable a come back, then you will be a dishonest spirit.

    I was standing outside last night, smoking a cigarette. I noticed the smoke behaving strangely. So I looked more closesly, and each time I blew out smoke it started spiralling, like it was sucked into a black hole or something.
    Could this have been a paranormal vortex? Or, if not, what kind of natural phenomenon could do this?

Title: Haunting History and Ghostly Whispers: The Story of Morisset Insane Asylum

If you’re fascinated by eerie places, spine-chilling ghost stories, and a slice of Australian history, then you’re in for a treat. Today, we’re diving into the intriguing past of one of New South Wales’ most infamous locations – the Morisset Insane Asylum, nestled in the quiet town of Morisset near Newcastle. Ready to uncover its secrets? Let’s go! The Beginning: When and Why Was Morisset Insane Asylum Created? Back in the early 1900s, mental health care was a very different beast from what it is today. In 1908, the Morisset Insane Asylum was established to serve as a psychiatric hospital primarily for patients from the Hunter Region and northern NSW. The government needed a facility to care for those struggling with mental illnesses, and Morisset was chosen for its remote and tranquil setting—ideal, they thought, for healing. The asylum was built with a mix of imposing brick buildings and sprawling grounds. It was designed not just as a hospital but as a self-sufficient commun...

Lemon Tree Passage Ghost - Local legend is alive and well

Lemon Tree Passage  is a suburb of the Port Stephens local government area in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia, located at the end of the Tilligerry Peninsula and surrounded by the waters of beautiful Port Stephens .  Ever since I can remember there have been a few urban legends about a stretch of highway named Lemon Tree Passage Road. The story begins when a motor bike rider and his pillion passenger died after colliding with a four wheel drive killing both. This seems to be the source of the ghostly lights and apparition. These sort of events don't stay quiet in small townships. Stories spread fast often not ending up like they started. Every so often this urban legend makes a comeback with a number to people tempting fate and poking the ghost rider.             A memorial to Dale Dickens on the Lemon Tree Passage Road / Pic: Robert Mckell Source:The Daily Telegraph The  Lemon Tree Passage ghost  f...

Headless Ghost Story from Port Stephens

  Headless  Ghost. A N.S.W. Mystery. A correspondent writes to a  Sydney paper : — Many years ago a retired sea captain built a large house in  a lonely spot at the junction of Limeburners' Creek and Karuah River (Port Stephens), and therein reared a large family, After the old dad' went west,' most of the family being married, the house was taken by a fisherman with a large family.   At night they were disturbed by footsteps, doors opening and shutting, crockery rattling and on moonlight nights the figure of a woman without a bead would be observed. As three fierce dogs were kept, no stranger could approach unmolested. On one occasion one of the sons fired point- blank at the figure, without effect. The fisherman's family were away, and the house remained closed. One night some young fellows from Karuah were fishing close by.   A storm coming on they took refuge in the empty house. They propped a log against the door, and lo,  ...
