Oregon Vortex

A cheesy but fun roadside attraction, the Vortex and accompanying House of Mystery lure visitors with displays of unexplained phenomena: people shrink as they walk toward you, a broom stands on end, water runs uphill. Leave your skepticism in the car and let the invisible whirlpool of gravity (or whatever) entertain you.
