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.

TV and Hollywood have spawned an interest in ghosts, vampires and zombies. Horror is in. Take the journey.

  1. 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?

Diary of a Ghost Hunter - The Wallacia Hotel

  We were given the opportunity of staying overnight at the Wallachia Hotel in Western Sydney. The hotelwas officially opened on December 3rd 1937. During the Second World War the hotel was used as the Army headquarters for radiopyhysics. I had never been to the Wallacia Hotel before, but, my ghost hunting gal pal Anne, had been there about 5 years ago with a group of Paranormal Investigators that she was working with at the time. We arrived and we were greeted by Craig, the night manager, who welcomed us with open arms.  Craig recognised Anne from the last time she had visited.  Anne asked whether any spooky things had been happening over the last few years. Craig said that he always thought that there was something a little bit weird going on late at night. Over the last few months everything had changed as the Hotel had been very much affected by the COVID lock downs This was a huge hotel with quite an interesting history even though in the whole scheme of things the hotel was only

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  first made headlines in 2010 after drivers cau

The Ghosts of Prince Henry Hospital and Little Bay

I am a ghost hunter. I explore and research and love to find myself being excited by stories of ghosts and haunted sights. Each story has its place in our collective consciousness and deserves to be heard and felt. Prince Henry Hospital, although long closed, remains a place that is greatly loved by so many nurses and patients and is now run by volunteers who keep its history alive. I began my involvement here abut three years ago when I was asked by Oz Para Tech (www.ozparatech.com) to join them in a public demonstration of ghost hunting for one of their open days. Let me share some history first..   This is a brief history of the Coast Hospital in relation to it being a hospital devoted to infectious diseases.  It was established to deal with a growing epidemic of smallpox in Sydney on September 5, 1881, and the site of Little Bay was chosen because of it's isolation from Sydney's population, its sweeping coastal view
