Area Attraction: Time travel vortex in Watertown!

/

Jefferson County just gets more and more interesting. Corinne, Better Farm's director of programming and Permaculture,  recently tipped us off to this bit of local lore:

There is apparently a vortex of some sort nestled right in Watertown's Thompson Park, fewer than 30 miles from Better Farm. Coincidence?

The vortex is allegedly located near a certain stone somewhere in the park; with one account of a man vanishing in front of witnesses for a full 20 minutes before reappearing in a different location. Accounts of experiences around this strange stone include phrases like "a sudden feeling of uneasiness"; "hearing things"; and "flat out feel weird".

This is obviously going to require some on-site investigation. As you await updates with bated breath, check out this short news clip on the vortex. As an added bonus, here's an amateur ghost-hunter clip taken at Thompson Park:
