Mystery Spot Illusion

42 comments

Please help me with this one... at first I tought it's just a trick with a cabin that's built in a leaning way what would qualify this picture as an Illusion, but after I've read about Mystery Spot, I am not as sure as I was before. Moreover, I've heard about some gravity-vortex sights on earth and moving rocks theory that has some scientific background. So in short: do you think this is just an ordinary optical illusion, or this story has some scientific background? Please enlighten me, and comment this "illusion".

    Check the wikipedia entry here.

    Even knowing that, I've been there before and it's pretty crazy.

    I was just at the Mystery spot (notice the spelling BTW) this summer and apparently, it was moved from one location to another, so I doubt highly there's a true geo-mystery happening.

    I checked out the website, and that picture above is the same place as a showcase piture there.

    the room's on a tilt. they're standing on rungs built into the wall which is actually canted ~30 degrees off of vertical. You can see the garbage can outside which is somewhat less mysterious.

    Cabin is built leaning, look at trash can in background.

    The ground, in the background, is perfectly level to the angle at which they are standing. I don't see the mystery??

    I've been there before. Theres this big rock that has its own gravity. So it fucks with the place.

    BWAHAhAahahaha. You can't seriously have fallen for that? What about people standing next to Mt. Everest? It sure would be an easy climb.

    Also, the inside of the cabin is not level with the ground: look at the bottom of the door.

    yeah this is just a building on a tilt

    Same as the "Wonder Spot" in Wiscosnin Dells, WI.

    If you look outside, you can see how the building is tipped slightly towards the left. You'll see, just take a gander out the door.

    okay ive been ther before (i think) in South Dakoto theres a place where these friends found where the gravity is messed up and they built a crooked house and if you stand on this plank and lean foward really far you won't fall --i can't remmeber what it was called it was a few miles away from the eptile place..........

    There is a place like this in Silver Dollar City I believe, it's in an amuesment park...you know for amuesment. No way is there a real spot where you slant like this because of some *big voice* "crazy gravitional pull".

    You guys all might be wrong and here is the reason...
    This place could well exist on its place and could have the properties as it says...
    There is one such place in vernon where water flows upwards... didnt believe till i saw myself, my being a sceintist, did all the research necessary and here are results...

    Just like we create artificial gravity in sattelites and shuttles we send to space, we rotate a bigger rim around the vortex of the ship that creates artificial gravity. Now some places can have an under ground lava flowing and orbiting at exact that place or an underground water stream making a wirl pool at that place (Under ground)... If the quantity of matter circling or speed is big enough, that gravitational field will move from its center, and thus will cause a tilt in earths week gravitational pull above ground...

    kinda looks like there leaning on the window

    the cabin is actually not leaning and it is not a trick.
    the mystery spot is an actual place where the gravitational fields are meeting and contadicting so things dont stand the way they're supposed to.

    HEY!!! i've been there!!! quite a mystery,yeah.
    its at USA, somewhere in there.
    i love it, especially the house there cause the house is sooooooo slanted!

    The cabin is definitely crooked. Made that way for a tourist trap.
    I've been to the Michigan "Spot".
    http://www.galixy.net/America/MI.htm

    The area is an optical illusion. Probably caused by the constant winds from Lake Michigan, blowing against the trees and causing them all to lean just slightly over the years. Many places like this throw people's simple perception off just enough to make them believe in magic, and that the world is not perfect.
    Oh wait, the world is not "perfect".
    But I also think that alcohol may have been involved somewhere.

  25. Anonymous Evan Johns 

    I think that the area isn't an optical illusion. There's got to be SOMETHING weird going on there. (Incudes weird stuff like a ball hanging horizonally and balls rolling uphill). So real real real real REAL!

    uhhh.....Kevin, if u think dats hot u really need to get a life

  27. Anonymous slindish 

    what it is, there is a slop of (example)20 degrees and then say a table is built in the oppisite direction but only 19 degrees so it looks like somthing is rolling uphill when its really just rolling down hill there are thousands of places like this

  28. Anonymous say ahhhhh 

    For being a scientist Farrukh sure doesn't know how to spell even the simplist words....blah blah blah the explanation this 'scientist' gave doesn't even make sense. It's an illusion made with gravity

    That's "Confusion Hill at Idlewild Park near Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. I have a pic of myself on the wall when I was a kid, and a pic of my son on the wall from this summer.

    You just tilt the room and stand your camera on a tripod.

    ive been to a place thats similar, its near santa cruz in california. they also have a ball suspended on a rope from the cieling. its pretty odd, it hangs straight but if you push it one way, its super easy, and if you push it the opposite way its much more difficult

    There's also a mystery spot in the upper peninsula of Michigan. If you are ever there, go to it! It's unbelievable. I'm not joking, you feel dizzy when you get inside and there's a chair that can sit on a 2 inche ledge without falling.

  34. Anonymous Patricia 

    I've been here.


    It looks like Calico Ghost Town in Yermo, California.


    :) Great place to be! There is also a chair that you sit in and will be unable to get up from unless you have Arnold sized legs. :)

    if you look outside the window, you'll notice the garbage bin and the red box hanging by the fence. in the first picture the bin is on the left side of the box, and in the second picture the bin is under the red box. by it's position, we can tell that the bin and the box is perpendicular to the ground. now check the person in the photo which is parallel to the bin and the box, indicating that they are perpendicular to the ground. it's just the camera position and a leaning way cabin like you said.

    i find it really hard to believe this gravity thing and i dont want everyone thinking that i'm defending the filthy, money-hungry people who make people pay to see this kind of thing, but id like to point out that while everyone can see that the people are (almost) perpendicular to the ground, the cabin itself is apparently (i've never actually been there- i'm from australia) built ON A HILL, which means the ground itself should be on a slant. weird eh... but why would the cameras be tilted so much?

    k...go to the first post and click on the wikipedia link! the whole "spot" is cleverly built on a hill. aha! they had all u fooled!

    the room is built at an angle. if you look at the groung through the door you can see that she is level with it. So the room must be tilting. Simple

    I din't think people were actually this stupid. Its an optical illusion. Its all about perspective. Check wikipedia
