Forum:Gorgan's eye Vs Spirit effects

The effect of all spirit monsters are that they return to the owner's hand during the end phase of the turn they are summoned. It is suggested that if they are on the field past that point, the effect about being returned to the owner's hand is disregarded, because the turn they were summoned, flip summoned, flipped face up has already passed. Now, because Spirit monsters are essentially effect monsters, if one was in defense mode, and I activated gorgon's eye, which negates the effects of all effect monsters until the end of the end phase, would it stay on the field?

Here is the scenario I'm suggesting: Player 1: "I attack your face down defense position monster." Player 2: "It is a spirit monster with higher defense than your attack." Player 1: "I end my battle phase, and set this card face down." Player 2: "I activate Gorgon's eye. All defense position effect monsters have their effects negated until the end of the end phase." Player 1: "Alright, I end my turn."

When player 1 ends his/her turn, would the spirit monster's effect still be negated, leaving it on the field, or would that occur after the effects of Gorgon's eye, and it returns to the owner's hand?

The exact text on the Gorgon's eye card is, according to this site, "Until the end of this turn, all effects of Defense Position monsters are negated." The exact text on Spirit monsters that return them to your hand is this, "This card returns to the owner's hand during the End Phase of the turn that this card is Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or flipped face-up."

I can't find any rulings on this one, so can someone help me out here?

The text on my Gorgon's eye card is a little different, It reads, "Negate the effects of all defense position monsters until the end of the end phase." It is a slightly older card, but I still use it frequently. I'd like to use it for this purpose, but I don't know about the legality of it.
