The Sedona Film Office in Arizona has been working overtime lately, reeling in huge Hollywood films. This year they’ll have Star Trek, Land of the Lost, and Transformers 2 shooting in their gorgeous Red Rocks formations, and hopefully John Tesh won’t be anywhere within view. However, there may be some alien abductions happening.

Now there’s a thriving new age tourist industry in the city.

about 3 years ago i went on vacation to sedona with my family, they took us to a bunch of “spirtiual” places and indian barriel grounds and so on, at one stop all i remember is it was called a vortex, my mom found a interesting rock and put it in her pocket, next thing you know she was rolling down the hill and sprained her ankle and scrapped herself up pretty badly, and had to spend the rest of the vacation in the hotel room, the guide told us it is because she took the stone with out the “spirits” consent, needless to say my mom took that stone out of her pocket and left it there. could be real?
