It’s a crazy house. Notice the steps, kinda funky, and there is a handle above the “door” to help folks get up there. It’s no vortex of anything.

I’ve actually seen one of these before. it’s like they build these houses all crooked and stuff and when you take picture it looks like you’re defyin gravity.

Those mystery houses may be full of sillyness, but I’d like everyone to remember the burmuda triangle, then explain to me why in a open spot on a grassy hill in livermore ca.you can put your vechicle in neutral at the base of this slight slope and it will roll up hill. please explain the light-headedness,even upset stomachs that occur.my gps doesent work there either.many people have visited this place. but everyone is usually chased out because it is private property. it is not advertised or even reconized to many. thank you for any explaination any one might offer up .

Look behind them, you can easily see the building they are in is at an angle

Exactly what Curtis said about the house, it slid down the hill and rested at the spot where it is today. I’ve been there, and it has a kind of creepy atmosphere when you look at the surrounding trees–all the branches seem to grow or point towards something and what I noticed was there were no birds at all up in the trees, it is some strange “vortex” that is present. Not even planes fly over this spot. Definitely a place to go if you’re ever in Santa Cruz. Great optical illusion. BTW the house is really on a slant, so wear sneakers!

Maybe they are balancing on the steps

The house has apparently slid partially down the hill, thus standing on the wall is somewhat due to the crooked existence of the structure. But as Skeaking said, there are some rather strange and inexplicable occurrences here, like things rolling uphill and relative heights appearing to change.

Also, as a testament to abnormalities in existence here, there are trees that have grown in a spiral, apparently due to the strange gravitational pull.

I have been here. No trickery, photoshopping or illusions. Gravity just doesn’t work at this place (the mystery spot in Santa Cruz) I saw my lipstick roll up a slope with no tricks. When a tall guy stood on higher ground than a short guy, the short guy looked taller. My brother stood on a wall.

I know it’s unbelievable, but honestly, it’s true.

Just to add a little bit to Michael Jensen’s comments; there’s also several Eucalyptus trees within this energy field, which trunks have grown in a spiral or corkscrew shape and a heavy iron ball hanging from a chain which stays at a 45 degree angle even if you try to push it perpendicular to the floor, it’ll swing right back to 45 degrees. Truly an amazing place!

I dont think its defying gravity… i think theres 3 possible solutions

1. u see the wall? its really close and dey could be leaning on it
2. dey could be on a hillside looking at the way the wall is curved to the left
3. U kno how the wall is curved to the left? well dat could be it… like the steps could be diagonal and the camera could be slanted or dey took a picture and cut off the sides so it looks straighter

Cool illusion. Went to place in missouri and experienced the same thing. Did’nt even realize it till we stopped to look into a full faced mirror. Pools balls rolled back to you and water ran up hill (supposedly). It was a neat feeling and illusion.

I just went to the mystery spot today. Long before i took the journey to santa cruz, i tried to figure out the secret. The house is built on a steep hillside. The house is crooked. Thats what i thought, but how can you explain balls rolling up hill? standing of walls? ( which is awesome btw!) The tour gave us three explanation to what could be causing it, but it still remains a mystery. i have no clue to what can cause this, but i do know.. next time anyone visits california, check out this place, its amazing!! oh, you will get dizzy and light headed being in there. I couldn’t even stand up straight inside.
