Steve Chabot is the person who managed to beat gravity! As you see, he managed to do something, no one else has done before! There are already hundreds of followers, who made a Mystery Spot memorial sight, to honor this exciting invention! Can you guess how this optical illusion took place? Be sure to comment your thoughts. This is what Steve says: “Yes, It’s me on the pic. It was taken in the sand dunes near Tadoussak, Quebec, Canada.” Thanks for this marvelous photo! If you wanna’ check some copy-cats, be sure to see previous Anty Gravity Illusion.

Another thing I wanted to ask you all: I’m planning to build a house in a distant future, and would like to check some possibilities of exterior/interior design. I know there are programs that can help you build virtual house, and place all the furniture inside, reposition walls, doors etc. Anyone has experience with this? Which one is the best, and where could I find it online? Thanks!

    To #46: There does not have to be a blurr because you can get a mode on digital cameras for movement, so that even if the person is moving the picture will not blurr!!

    On closer inspection, I think he is leaning on some sort of post.

    I think the answer to this one is simple. Aliens.

    Just in case you wanted a definitive answer here – I’ve been where he’s standing. It’s a bloody great hill, and that’s all there is to it.

    He looks like he is a well padded fellow not afraid to fall on the sand for a good ruse. A common shutter speed of 1/60th of a second or faster would eliminate any possible blur as he is not moving very fast. His shirt is being pulled down by gravity.
    He is a fall guy.
    or he is a believer and member in good standing in the 45degree angle earth gravatational center society.

    He’s standing vertically on a hill. Because the hill is slanted, it appears like he is leaning to the right. The camera is on the same slant as the hill. Tilt your head to the right so that he’s upright. It’s an easy trick.

    if you look in the back round you see the tree tiped, but, if you turn your head it is up straight, it only grows on an angle because it is on a hill wich the camera was turned to make it look like it was flat. also when you step on a sand dune the sand pushes flat downwards, but in this picture “straight up the sand is pushed on an angle, again turn you head and it will appear right.

    if you look at the left sleeves ( well both) they are out like if you were standing straight, but if he really was tilted his left sleeve would be on his arm, but, it is not.

    I agree with Anonymous.

    He is just falling.

    his feet are at a different angle that his legs are at

  17. Anonymous says:

    his foot is dug in the ground and their is something holding him in then

    there is prob no trick! he probably just fell like that and someone took a quick picture of him falling so that it looked like he was standing liek that! i did this with my friends and it worked! duhh!

    It’s simple man look at his right hand… He’s holding onto a bar/pole and hid it behind leg and body.

  21. gul_e says:

    Ok – My theory, He’s on a hill with a tilted camera and also adding to the effect by leaning a bit himself to increase the effect and make his shirt hang like that. If you look at the shirt it’s leaning – but not as much as him and also the tree in the background is leaning at an angle, but not as much as him. I think the bar theory is too complex to bother with.

  22. Cornelius says:

    Well if he’s really falling he sure looks like he’s having fun!

    I haven’t read all the comments, but…
    1 – don’t always say “photoshopped!!!” when you can’t explain something
    2 – regarding the hanging clothes: maybe he tilted a bit and the rest was made by the camera; in fact, you can tell how much he tilted by rotating the pic until his shirt remains vertical … this makes sense to me
    3 – what if he was just falling down with a smile? :)

  24. Maria says:

    theres a reason he’s bald

  25. Anonymous says:

    i think. he’s really standing up-right, and the camera is taking him upright as well.. no slope, no hill, no slanting of the camaera whatsoever. the reason he appears to be falling is– the photo is being cropped such that the entire image is slanted. if u are to save this picture and crop it and rotate it, it’ll be pretty clear. as to the shirt looking like its falling under the influence of the gravity, its cos of a breeze.

    its actually kind of easy if u use photoshop, u can take 2 pictires of the same spot put them on top of eachother and have im tilted a little bit

    THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN AS AN ACTION SHOT. HE WOULD HAVE FALLEN OVER RIGHT AFTER THE SHOT WAS TAKEN. HE PROBABLY ONLY DID IT BECAUSE THE SAND IS A SOFT LANDING

    Alright most of these illusions are mega fake like in this one:

    WHY THE HELL HAS HE STUCK HIS FOOT IN THE GROUND???????

    To, THE EDITOR
    =-P I just told every one it fake!!!!

    i belive it is the rubber stamp tool form photo shop or somthing like that. he had somthing to prop him self up then you use the rubber stamp tool to copy the bush things on the ground on top of the thin that is holding him up then you rotate then to make them look diffrent from the ones on the other side.

    wow……

  31. Jake Wilcox says:

    I think it’s just an illusion. if you put the picture in photoshop and make the guy straight up, it appears he is just standing on a steep sand dune. Notice the branches on the bush are going the same direction as the guy is standing.

  32. Vlad says:

    it’s easy guys,

    He’s actualy burried in the sand uptill just below his knees. He isn’t realy wearing his pants, he’s just holding them in front of his legs, and his shoes cover up the place where his legs enter the sand.
    We used to do the same thing. if you bury yourself uptill your knees, you can get up straight from lying down without having to use your hands (like a zombie)

    My god you dumb-wits. The ground it sloped. He’s standing strait up on the ground, and the camera is tilted. Same concept with the “mystery hole” (http://news.opb.org/photos/2007/10/1031_vortex_350.jpg) in WV.Duh.
