Beaver Dunes Park is a hotbed of paranormal activity, the dunes have been home to enough human disappearances, secret military excavations, and “Men in Black” sightings to earn it the title “Oklahoma’s Bermuda Triangle.” Spanish explorer Coronado led an expedition there in the 1500’s, where several of his men vanished mysteriously from the dunes in a blast of strange, green light, he described the phenomenon in his diary as “the work of the devil”. Native American guides in his journey warned his men not to wander into the Dunes because it was an evil place.
“The Shaman’s Portal” title was coined by these natives, and mysterious disappearances of people in the area persist to this very day. Locals report military excavation sites under the cover of darkness. Many believe the area contains a portal to another dimension, as the natives believe, as there are electromagnetic disturbances recorded in the dunes. Some say that an ancient alien spacecraft is buried deep below the ground there. Dogman, Bigfoot and skinwalker encounters are not uncommon at the location.
