It's been years since I've been to this thing. The house is slanted to add effect. I remember the ball rolling up hill, yes. but it was also rolling in the direction I was leaning towards - up. I get your model but it doesn't match what I remember. Also this didin't explain the changing of heights on an even plane. I was one of the people who hung from a bar. In that case, gravity DID pull me down. It was hard to lift my legs one way and easy to lift the other direction. Explain that.
question, how do we explain the things that go on OUTSIDE of the house?? like on the actual grounds where we STILL slant? and how do we explain the way the trees grow? and how the broom stands up?
i took this model to the mystery spot to prove to the people that it was fake they called the sheriffs wtf lol but people save your money mystery spot is not a mastery
Guys it's not all fake. Obviously most of it is trickery but the thing with the board is true. I was there myself and the guide put the level everywhere on the board, and the bubble was in the middle all the time. The board IS a completely flat AND completely horizonzal surface, there's no doubt about that. The level is NOT manipulated, some people brought their own ones and tested it. There IS something wrong with this place, even though the guides mostly make it look like a show.
There IS some optical illusion at the mystery spot, but that wouldn't explain why "slanted" surfaces are proven to be perfectly level with a level tool, trees grow in in spirals, and there is a surprising lack of birds in the area. Pilots flying over the spot have experienced the gauges in the plane acting erratically. How do you explain those things? I'm not saying there isn't some trickery involved, but you video is lacking some info.
@WeirdAwesomenesss If that were true, why hasn't it been quarantined for investigation? My guess is the guide was just using a metaphor to tell you nicely that you've got crabs...
If you are right, and the house is simply tilted, that would be obvious to anyone that brings a level...multiple videos show people bringing a level, and at the end they don't say "oh, the level shows the house is simply tilted"...explain that one...have you ever even gone to the mystery spot?
this makes sense in the house but if the ground was tilted with the ball rolling example everyone would be leaning-and everyone is standing up straight
the vortex itself does not have an incline, unless the ground itself is a hill, but people would feel it and not feel like they are standing on flat ground. but i realize you are only trying to explain the mystery house... but there are still some things that left unexplained. Theoretically it could be replicated but the trick would be so obvious that it wouldnt draw attention. i believe there are really anomalies at this location and some scientists believe so too. one studied there for 40 yrs
@Atsom655321 I actually said that in third grade once and was met with a loud gasp... Isn't third grade a little old to believe in Santa? I thought so... I guess they didn't. On a side note, you were apparently curious to know the mechanics behind this thing or you wouldn't have clicked on the video. It wasn't mandatory that you watch it.
ok the house is tilted, if that can be an explanation please go to a hill with the same inclination and tilt urselft in the same amount of degrees without falling back and record it for us :D i know i cant do that XD i tried
one thing is why the obsession with finding out the secret of the mystery spot?! its there its cool and u dont have to know everything u should just leave it as a mystery!
@WB22699 levels can be tampered with "dip shit". go out in your garage right now and beat your level senseless with a mallet and it will tell u that the fucking leaning tower of Pisa is level. And i bet you have never noticed how they always use there own levels. but a dip shit like you wouldn't think of that now would you.
Haha i remember visiting the Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz when i was lik 8 - 10 years old and my mom kept figuring them out and getting the tour guide frustrated ahahha
Then how do you explain the tour guide using a level at the very beginning on the bricks? Or the dizzinesss felt when there? You obviously haven't been there.
As the maker of the video stated, the board is at a *very* small incline. Carpenter Levels aren't 100% accurate, so it probably wouldn't be noticeable. The dizziness felt there probably is from people's brains not being able to understand what is happening when things seem out of the ordinary :)
@ymerej135 what about the branches of the trees all growing in one direction along with the irregular growth of the trees in strange shapes. the slanting house can't explain that OR why people become shorter going uphill here rather than on other hills. the slanting house itself is weird but the forest in that area is void of most life other than birds that fly in. but those birds end up flying in irregular patterns and only low to the ground. what about those anomalies?
@ymerej135 the second thing you said makes sense, but doesn't answer the irregular patterns of bird flight only low to the ground. altering the tree's, that doesn't convince me. when those tree's sprouted, i don't think they knew how to alter trees. a eucalyptus tree grew in a corkscrew! there was even a redwood tree in the shape of an "S." i don't get how they can alter that.
the main thing about mystery spot is to make people think.....logically and bring some simple equipment to prove it.........don't just sit and see what happen and never think why it happened.....that's the difference between us as human and other mammals.........
Please explain to me, oh wise one, why simply tilting everything can upset a person who has had one their left inner ear removed to the point of being sick and having to be helped out. Not just in the shack. Her balance was screwed until we left. I have heard of similar stories.
The tour guard actually starts by rolling the ball down hill then it stops and goes back uphill. So how does it work in that way genius? If it was tilted the instance when it travels downhill wouldn't happen. The mystery still lives on, your story has some holes...nice try though!
@lettertree11 The ramp is tilted the other way only slightly. When the guide "rolls" the ball down the ramp he or she puts force behind it basically bushing it up the ramp. It you roll a ball uphill, it will roll a few feet, stop, then roll in the opposite direction. And saying "nice try" after derogatorily calling me a "genius" doesn't diminish the condescension behind said title. I don't think I'm a genius. I just know what gravity is.
@vivalaskeek If you watch the video Weird US at the Mystery Spot, though, you'll see one of the two guys roll the ball after the guide rolls it, and they do the same process... yet it still rolls back to him after rolling downhill first. I don't doubt that the Mystery Spot is just a slanted house and whatnot, but that ramp is a bit different in my opinion.
No shit the house is tilted, it's on a freaking hill. But that sure as hell isn't why the mystery spot does what it does. If you go there, you can FEEL that something isn't right. The moment you go into the 150 foot perimeter, you are LITERALLY pushed back. The force is strong enough to push you away. Before you start making stupid videos about the "secrets" of the mystery spot, GO THERE.
Why all the cynical hate towards people who do not understand the mystery spot? I know the cabin is tilted but I still wonder about the ball that rolls on a board that shows to be level by a carpenter's level. I did not see one in your reproduction. Why not?
So now we are disgusted with Americans for being so dumb for spending some time at a fun house. But a man can graduate from Harvard, become President and spend more money than it is possible to pay back and that does not concern you?
Have you been there? they used a level and it was in the middle.. tour guide demonstrates that it is flat. once you go right in the house you will feel nauseous,dizzy, and its also hard to walk UP the hill.. LOL alot more harder than regular hills :/ not even that steep too :3
Re: the height displacement illusion, I'm pretty sure the two people are on a level surface. At least in Oregon, they use a level to prove that the surface is perfectly flat.
What would be interesting to add to your model is a recreation of that illusion, where the two people are on a flat surface, but the camera eye isn't exactly the same distance to each person. If one side is farther from the camera, obviously everything will appear smaller on that side.
The real mystery is how anyone even need this explained. It seriously dissapoints me how seemingly normal people can go thinking there really is a mystery in these mystery houses. I've had to explain how it worked to a friend of mine, because he was convinced there really was something wrong with the gravity there, and he's a college science graduate. Very disappointing.
hay man good video but one thing first when i went there you could throw the ball in front of you and it would come straight back at an angle this is outside of the house with nothing to fool your vision if you know how this is possible please reply thanks
it's a theory. but you need to go and see it first hand. they have a level and show it's completely level. gravity is just two masses that are attracted to one another. so if an object is dense enough it will attract things around it with a stronger force. good idea for an explanation, but it doesn't measure up. :)
The Mystery Spot is really a lot of fun. It's a great illusion! But do you people really think that the effect is due to changes in gravity or magnetism or whatever?! Really? When you think about it, what is more plausible, that 1.) gravity is so strong in one spot a man is compressed by 6" while a person 6 ft away is unaffected, or 2.) one person is simply standing uphill. With out a horizon for orientation our eyes deceive us. It is extremely compelling and very fun though!
I was there last week and there is no doubt about the weird feeling and the 17degree slant you will stand at any body who has walked on his own two feet his whole life will notice the distintc difference as soon as they get there. you can climb a perfectly vertical board ladder with boards nailed into the wall with out using your hands because the weird gravity supports you at 17 degrees
I visited the Santa Cruz Mystery spot today. Okay, I concede some optical illusions are likely going on there, but something happened I that I found VERY perplexing. I swung the heavy pendulum; within a 2 minute time period, at first it moved linear, but then began moving counter-clockwise, then switched back to linear and then swung clockwise! I swung a pendulum at home and it always swung in a linear direction, even after several minutes! Hey, I'd love to hear that mystery explained!!!
nice try but some other ppl are right, some places use levels to show everything is perfectly leveled. THAT is what makes it a mystery. of course there is a scientific explanation but yours was not it. i think thats what ppl are trying to say.
but what about the oregon vortex house of mystery. they have put up levels to prove that the ground is not slanted, and people still change height, and things still slant.
Thanks vivalaskeek, you have tried to enlighten pple that have been fooled. I know I don't like being made the fool and would wish that many of the people that believe in this kind of stuff would do their homework before believing anything that tickles our so naive senses.
I think your theory is insufficient, vivalaskeek, since I don't see how it can explain a grandfather clock's pendulum spinning counter clockwise in a perfect circle in the northern hemisphere in contradiction to the Coriolis effect.
your wrong. you know why? because when a put the ball on the slant it was o a 90 degree angel of that tilted house. so it would make no difference whatsoever
So for the ball trick, in ur project, it rolled straight. In the Sana Cruz spot, there are 2 ball tricks: 1, the ball needed a small trench to guide the ball, which made the ball roll straight: #2 there was no trench, BUT the ball was moving back and forth, slowly. If the house is actually tilted, then the ball would move down in one direction, whether it is left or right, BUTTTT it didnt, explain that?
The tour guide there tells you how its done and the illusion is stripped away. It really is a no-brainer, though. When one side of your body feels heavier and you can't walk straight, you're walking against an incline. There is nothing "magnetic" about people that would make them walk differently in an area. Maybe you're eating ingesting too many heavy metals otherwise... Good vid, thanks.
I've been at the Mystery Spot. I understand your theory, but it doesn't explain how you can stand on a table with just your heals on the edge and lean forward almost perpindicular to the floor. without falling forward on your face...lol! It also doesn't explain how you can walk up 2" wide planks that are nailed to the wall and lean forward without falling. If you have an explanation for these things...I would be open to hearing it. :) I also was wondering...have you been there?
Yes, the Mystery Spot is a tourist trap - but that doesn't mean valid, strange things are unexplained there. Similarly, one stupid mistake doesn't prove someone is stupid. It's also not the only spot like that on Earth. There are many. For one, look up Coral Castle in Florida. Ed knew what was going on, he harnessed the Earths resources and accomplished amazing feats. He figured out things that Nikola Tesla came to know. There're plenty of things we don't fully know, gravity's just one.
@knowfedirs The whole thing is staged, hence a fraud; so why wouldn't you cast suspicion on everything? Of course this isnt the only one....anyone can set one up because it is a bunch of illusions and tricks... Not knowing something is one thing...a purposeful fraud is another.
Staged doesn't mean fraud, it means "on display". A car show is staged. An arts and crafts fair is too. It's "staged" because it's a way of making money no diff than the above examples. Casting suspicion on everything because of one thing makes no sense to me. I evaluate each "mystery" on it's own merits. Some there are questionable mysteries while the pendulum behavior and the "bubble" level are yet unexplained. This video doesn't even mention these two - because he can't explain them.
@knowfedirs The difference between those examples and the mystery spot is that the mystery spot LIES. It doesnt admit that these are illusions but rather that it is due to aliens and such. Fact is that each and every setup that you think is a "mystery" is in fact a setup.
They didn't lie to me when I was there. They talked about aliens, but in a joking "I don't really believe it" kind of way. All I wanted from them was to show me the "mysteries" so I could check them out for myself. The bottom line is that there ARE unexplained things, the two I mentioned earlier which this video leaves out. If those two mysteries are just a "setup," how did they do it?
Ananthrules, you're referring to a level, and I agree with you. This video says nothing about an actual level surface. The most intriguing thing to me was the pendulum. I stood right next to it, parallel to it, and it was significantly more difficult to move it in one direction than the other. It's also odd that it ended up in a circular motion opposite of what is expected in this hemisphere. There's definitely a "logical" explanation for it, but I've yet to hear it.
The surfaces in the Mystery Spot arent actually level. Whats so odd about it ending up in a circular motion? ...expected in this hemisphere? Do you think that gravity works differently in the other hemisphere?
buddy...u missed one thing....wen i was there...the guide placed that bar with a bubble(fuhgot wat its called) n the bubble was right at the center sayin that although the place was crooked....it was actually paralell to sea level...i.e. absolutely flat... also i felt wierdly dizzy wen i was...gravity duz act wierd at that place...trust me...ull feel ur head spin...go there...
@ananthrules That thing is called a level. Next time you go there, watch closely HOW they put the level on the plank - I bet they'll place it at an angle so that the plank looks like it's perfectly leveled.
@mikosoft the plank may look leveled..agreed... but the bubble wont lie man.. its exactly at the centre... n u cant explain the dizziness at that one particular spot...
@ananthrules I say that the bubble thing (called a level) when positioned on the slanted plank at a certain angle will make the plank look like it's leveled. The dizziness is called placebo effect. It happened to me when I was setting a volume on my stereo and unaware turned a wrong knob and I thought - yes, that's better when in fact I did nothing. My friend cheated another one this way too when he requested to turn the volume down - he turned a fake knob and the other one was satisfied.
Is it so hard to believe that there are things we as a human race cannot comprehend? Its not like we have the answers to all of life's mysteries. I think its ignorant and close minded to believe that you think you know how these mystery spots work when top scientists cant even come up with a definitive answer. Besides, scientist don't even know exactly how our brains work. Life is basically based on a series of proven theories and until these theories are proven, they remain MYSTERIES....
So in other words...if you can't explain something you see, then don't bother trying to figure out what causes it....just call it a MYSTERY. There's your answer, sure 'nuff. Why in the world did we ever need to learn that the Earth is round? Why didn't we just accept the fact that when a ship disappears beneath the horizon, it actually DID fall off the edge of the Flat Earth? Calling everything we don't yet understand a MYSTERY would make our lifes so much less complicated, wouldn't it.
Top scientists cant come up with an answer according to who? There are several experts that expain this "mystery" by showing that it is nothing more than illusions. This is why its not hard to setup your own mystery spot which is what ppl did...there are several around the country.
for god sake it doesn't need a scientist to explain this shit,the whole area was built a certain degree that it could conflict with the earths gravity,just quit it..
Only problem is, every single branch on every single tree is growing the same direction. Looks like too much work for the people working there, to me. And everything is level. Why would a ball roll the same direction everytime, or change course and roll back towards someone, if it is level?
The mystery spot is real I am assuming you all have never been there. Scientists have been trying to figure out why the laws of gravity don't work there for years. If you bring a bubble level with you you will see that the laws of gravity are thrown out the window. Things actually do roll up hills. There are more smaller spots around Santa Cruz that have the same phenomenon that are only known to locals know of.
Hmmm....whats more likely....the very well known and thoroughly tested laws of physics have been broken and then instead of having all the scientists and the govt examining the site to what essentially could be antigravity; turn it into a lil tourist place with a shop? Or ppl have imperfect senses and easily fall for illusions and snake oil?
Not level? Then why is the "bubble" in the middle of the level? What's level to you? The circular motion is odd if you know about pendulums and how they behave. It's the same force that makes toilet bowl water swirl in one direction in one hemisphere and the opposite in the other. Same with hurricanes. It isn't about gravity, it's about gravity AND the centrifugal motion of the Earth. Look it up. Why would it also be harder to push it in one direction than the other if gravity was "normal"?
@knowfedirs Grab anything with a string and you'll see that it wont swing exactly back and forth. And you still believe in that toilet bowl myth? Sorry but you're wrong...water doesnt spin in a different direction in the other hemisphere. Hurricanes yes, because they are massive enough for the earths spin to be a factor...toilet bowls on the other hand...no. Why would it be harder? Do you think it is an honest setup?
@Eluneminati You didn't just note your observations...you made a claim that "in australia all toilets when flushed flow clockwise." In fact you can even find youtube videos of water draining opposite in australia.
But dont take my word for it...ask a scientist. Or just google it for crying out loud.
@kbush, you're right about the toilet bowl, the force would to weak to enhance the spin in such a short time. The swirl is mechanically directed. However even though pendulums aren't massive, they ARE affected by which hemisphere they're in if they swing long enough. Even so, that still leaves the question of why it was harder to push the pendulum in one direction than the other. "Why would it be harder?" That's my question. I don't have an answer. What's yours?
My understanding of the Mystery spot is that there are areas which aren't related to the house which display the phenomenon. There is a place in Australia called Straws Lane where if you put your car in neutral at the bottom of a hill, the car will roll up hill. I have checked it out with surveying equipment and a friend and there is no optical illusion or fake slope. I haven't been to The Mystery Spot, but I know the house is bunk. The whole effect may not be.
In all of these spots, there is one thing in common: they are hilly, and you cannot see the horizon. So your brain creates its own horizon, to orient your body, which may or may not be the right one. And especially in cases where you're presented a crooked house or etc (things you expect to be level) it messes with your brain even more.
A reasonable answer rawtoast, however it's not an illusion if surveying equipment demonstrates a slope, and the car rolls up the slope when it shouldn't. I agree that many mystery spots are bunk where optical illusions apply, but not all.
A wise man once said "When you remove the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be true." Rolling uphill is impossible. So there must be a logical explanation for why it appears to do so.
Yes, Occam's razor is a useful thing. However one of the untapped frontiers of Physics is gravity, let alone the behavior of gravity on a rotating sphere. The Physicist Burkhart Heim had some interesting things to say on the subject amongst a great many other things.
What I really enjoyed here was reading all these comments..lol
you gotta have a whole lotta patience vivalaskeek...people go nuts when they find out that santa claus, the easter rabbit or the like are all just a hoax ... believing in mysteries is so much more fun!
Well I try to. I get annoyed sometimes at how freaking rude people can get, when they could just say their opinion nicely without the F words. speaking of santa though, I said something to the effect of "santa isn't real" and got a collective gasp from my entire third grade class. I assumed everybody was old enough to know that already. In any case, I am not trying to ruin the mystry for anybody. I assume that they are, or they wouldn't have sought out a video explaining how the place worked.
@ywmpg Yeah, they can me...but I actually find most of them funny. I record a comedy video and the come on youtube to see people physically getting angry over it and I'm just like "wow...It's a youtube video" you know? It's really amusing to me and everynow and then it's fun to return a little bit of the ribbing. Kind of like ranking. I don't their intentions but mine are never really mean spirited. Thanks for watching.
Have you ever been to the Mystery Spot? Try recreating what happens there using real people, outdoors, with a horizon in view. Try using a level in your recreation. Try recreating how someone can stand with their legs straight but their feet are NOT under their shoulders like they normally would be whether the ground was flat or slanted. When you can recreate all that, demonstrate it live for people, without the amateur camera tricks that are fooling no one.
there is no horizon in view at the mystery spot. that's how it works. the trees, distant hills, tall wooden fences and especially the cabin itself obscure the horizon, so things can look level when they're actually on a hill. people feel dizzy or sick because their body is naturally leaning against the tilt, so what they're seeing conflicts with what they're feeling, like at a fun house.
We took our last pictures at the Vortex. The camera died, it has never been able to turn on again. The message said corrupted data and went black. Yes we tried changing the batteries!!
Okay. The thing that makes this 'Iffy' is the fact that everything built around this mystery spot is built at an angle. If they truely wanted to awe people they should have built the house level along with everything in it. But... reverse polarity is a real thing. Gravity can converge at a specific spot and cause phenomena like balls rolling up hill and such, and that is a fact. But these guys might be trying to hoax it, but these things CAN happen.
No. they cant. read a physics book. these spots are based on illusions. there are several that they execute to perfect their image. they are indeed very fun places (having visited one myself) but i was able to explain every detain using 101 physics and the concept of illusion.
i guess it sorta makes sense. but still can you explain why the trees grow branches on one side? so if the explanation was simple as that, then why would it still be called the mstery spot?
mystery spot is quite real and this is not kinda true, experts already investigated it long time ago and even now they can't figure it out why does the law of gravity doesn't apply there so for those who are not experts in geography and things like whatever it is that include studying terrain... stop acting like you know it!
no no no the "investigators" were all part of the scheme. it built up their image. it was part of the attraction. these spots are based on illusions. there are several that they execute to perfect their image. they are indeed very fun places (having visited one myself) but i was able to explain every detail using 101 physics and the concept of illusion
if you freeze frame at 00:27 you can see in the background the angle of the trees, which indicate that the house is built on a slant... the ball only rolls "up hill" because the grade of the plank, although elevated, is still less than the grade of which the house was built on.
I hope everyone sees this and never goes there so when I have to drive home I dont have to sit behind people driving 20 mph in a 35 mph zone drive faster idiots
I think that maybe you should get a job, and stop sitting on your computer trying to figure out ways to ruin things for people, that they might actually enjoy. Most people understand that these are illusions, but for alot of people that's where the mystery lies. It's a form of entertainment, just like magic, and for lots of people it's a release from the everyday world. There are very few things left today that are enjoyable, so my advice would be, to quit acting like a scientist, and enjoy.
I'm not acting like a scientist. I have stated many times in other comments this is an opinion formulated by research. If these people don't want to hear what I have to say, than it's as simple as not watching it, or looking up the explaination to the mystery spot. I'm not trying to destroy entertainment for anybody. It is still very enjoyable even though I know no it works.
but they used a lever to show that the things were level.

It's been years since I've been to this thing. The house is slanted to add effect. I remember the ball rolling up hill, yes. but it was also rolling in the direction I was leaning towards - up. I get your model but it doesn't match what I remember. Also this didin't explain the changing of heights on an even plane. I was one of the people who hung from a bar. In that case, gravity DID pull me down. It was hard to lift my legs one way and easy to lift the other direction. Explain that.

As the maker of the video stated, the board is at a *very* small incline. Carpenter Levels aren't 100% accurate, so it probably wouldn't be noticeable. The dizziness felt there probably is from people's brains not being able to understand what is happening when things seem out of the ordinary :)

@ymerej135 what about the branches of the trees all growing in one direction along with the irregular growth of the trees in strange shapes. the slanting house can't explain that OR why people become shorter going uphill here rather than on other hills. the slanting house itself is weird but the forest in that area is void of most life other than birds that fly in. but those birds end up flying in irregular patterns and only low to the ground. what about those anomalies?

@ymerej135 the second thing you said makes sense, but doesn't answer the irregular patterns of bird flight only low to the ground. altering the tree's, that doesn't convince me. when those tree's sprouted, i don't think they knew how to alter trees. a eucalyptus tree grew in a corkscrew! there was even a redwood tree in the shape of an "S." i don't get how they can alter that.

The tour guard actually starts by rolling the ball down hill then it stops and goes back uphill. So how does it work in that way genius? If it was tilted the instance when it travels downhill wouldn't happen. The mystery still lives on, your story has some holes...nice try though!
lettertree11 1 year ago
@lettertree11 The ramp is tilted the other way only slightly. When the guide "rolls" the ball down the ramp he or she puts force behind it basically bushing it up the ramp. It you roll a ball uphill, it will roll a few feet, stop, then roll in the opposite direction. And saying "nice try" after derogatorily calling me a "genius" doesn't diminish the condescension behind said title. I don't think I'm a genius. I just know what gravity is.

No shit the house is tilted, it's on a freaking hill. But that sure as hell isn't why the mystery spot does what it does. If you go there, you can FEEL that something isn't right. The moment you go into the 150 foot perimeter, you are LITERALLY pushed back. The force is strong enough to push you away.

Re: the height displacement illusion, I'm pretty sure the two people are on a level surface. At least in Oregon, they use a level to prove that the surface is perfectly flat.
What would be interesting to add to your model is a recreation of that illusion, where the two people are on a flat surface, but the camera eye isn't exactly the same distance to each person. If one side is farther from the camera, obviously everything will appear smaller on that side.

it's a theory. but you need to go and see it first hand. they have a level and show it's completely level. gravity is just two masses that are attracted to one another. so if an object is dense enough it will attract things around it with a stronger force. good idea for an explanation, but it doesn't measure up. :)
bleckybob 1 year ago
The Mystery Spot is really a lot of fun. It's a great illusion! But do you people really think that the effect is due to changes in gravity or magnetism or whatever?! Really? When you think about it, what is more plausible, that 1.) gravity is so strong in one spot a man is compressed by 6" while a person 6 ft away is unaffected, or 2.) one person is simply standing uphill. With out a horizon for orientation our eyes deceive us. It is extremely compelling and very fun though!

I visited the Santa Cruz Mystery spot today. Okay, I concede some optical illusions are likely going on there, but something happened I that I found VERY perplexing. I swung the heavy pendulum; within a 2 minute time period, at first it moved linear, but then began moving counter-clockwise, then switched back to linear and then swung clockwise! I swung a pendulum at home and it always swung in a linear direction, even after several minutes! Hey, I'd love to hear that mystery explained!!!

So for the ball trick, in ur project, it rolled straight. In the Sana Cruz spot, there are 2 ball tricks: 1, the ball needed a small trench to guide the ball, which made the ball roll straight: #2 there was no trench, BUT the ball was moving back and forth, slowly. If the house is actually tilted, then the ball would move down in one direction, whether it is left or right, BUTTTT it didnt, explain that?

The tour guide there tells you how its done and the illusion is stripped away. It really is a no-brainer, though. When one side of your body feels heavier and you can't walk straight, you're walking against an incline. There is nothing "magnetic" about people that would make them walk differently in an area. Maybe you're eating ingesting too many heavy metals otherwise... Good vid, thanks.

peaceinpeaceout1 2 years ago
Yes, the Mystery Spot is a tourist trap - but that doesn't mean valid, strange things are unexplained there. Similarly, one stupid mistake doesn't prove someone is stupid. It's also not the only spot like that on Earth. There are many. For one, look up Coral Castle in Florida. Ed knew what was going on, he harnessed the Earths resources and accomplished amazing feats. He figured out things that Nikola Tesla came to know. There're plenty of things we don't fully know, gravity's just one.

@knowfedirs The whole thing is staged, hence a fraud; so why wouldn't you cast suspicion on everything? Of course this isnt the only one....anyone can set one up because it is a bunch of illusions and tricks... Not knowing something is one thing...a purposeful fraud is another.
kubush 2 years ago
Staged doesn't mean fraud, it means "on display". A car show is staged. An arts and crafts fair is too. It's "staged" because it's a way of making money no diff than the above examples. Casting suspicion on everything because of one thing makes no sense to me. I evaluate each "mystery" on it's own merits. Some there are questionable mysteries while the pendulum behavior and the "bubble" level are yet unexplained. This video doesn't even mention these two - because he can't explain them.
knowfedirs 2 years ago
@knowfedirs The difference between those examples and the mystery spot is that the mystery spot LIES. It doesnt admit that these are illusions but rather that it is due to aliens and such. Fact is that each and every setup that you think is a "mystery" is in fact a setup.
kubush 2 years ago
They didn't lie to me when I was there. They talked about aliens, but in a joking "I don't really believe it" kind of way. All I wanted from them was to show me the "mysteries" so I could check them out for myself. The bottom line is that there ARE unexplained things, the two I mentioned earlier which this video leaves out. If those two mysteries are just a "setup," how did they do it?

ilgattapardo 2 years ago
Ananthrules, you're referring to a level, and I agree with you. This video says nothing about an actual level surface. The most intriguing thing to me was the pendulum. I stood right next to it, parallel to it, and it was significantly more difficult to move it in one direction than the other. It's also odd that it ended up in a circular motion opposite of what is expected in this hemisphere. There's definitely a "logical" explanation for it, but I've yet to hear it.

You mean a "level"? And you probably felt dizzy because of the walk uphill or because of all the distortation that your brain is trying to process.

@ananthrules That thing is called a level. Next time you go there, watch closely HOW they put the level on the plank - I bet they'll place it at an angle so that the plank looks like it's perfectly leveled.

@ananthrules I say that the bubble thing (called a level) when positioned on the slanted plank at a certain angle will make the plank look like it's leveled. The dizziness is called placebo effect. It happened to me when I was setting a volume on my stereo and unaware turned a wrong knob and I thought - yes, that's better when in fact I did nothing. My friend cheated another one this way too when he requested to turn the volume down - he turned a fake knob and the other one was satisfied.

Is it so hard to believe that there are things we as a human race cannot comprehend? Its not like we have the answers to all of life's mysteries. I think its ignorant and close minded to believe that you think you know how these mystery spots work when top scientists cant even come up with a definitive answer. Besides, scientist don't even know exactly how our brains work. Life is basically based on a series of proven theories and until these theories are proven, they remain MYSTERIES....

Why didn't we just accept the fact that when a ship disappears beneath the horizon, it actually DID fall off the edge of the Flat Earth?

The mystery spot is real I am assuming you all have never been there. Scientists have been trying to figure out why the laws of gravity don't work there for years. If you bring a bubble level with you you will see that the laws of gravity are thrown out the window. Things actually do roll up hills. There are more smaller spots around Santa Cruz that have the same phenomenon that are only known to locals know of.

Or ppl have imperfect senses and easily fall for illusions and snake oil?
kubush 2 years ago
Not level? Then why is the "bubble" in the middle of the level? What's level to you? The circular motion is odd if you know about pendulums and how they behave. It's the same force that makes toilet bowl water swirl in one direction in one hemisphere and the opposite in the other. Same with hurricanes. It isn't about gravity, it's about gravity AND the centrifugal motion of the Earth. Look it up. Why would it also be harder to push it in one direction than the other if gravity was "normal"?
knowfedirs 2 years ago
@knowfedirs Grab anything with a string and you'll see that it wont swing exactly back and forth. And you still believe in that toilet bowl myth? Sorry but you're wrong...water doesnt spin in a different direction in the other hemisphere. Hurricanes yes, because they are massive enough for the earths spin to be a factor...toilet bowls on the other hand...no. Why would it be harder? Do you think it is an honest setup?

Eluneminati 2 years ago
@kbush, you're right about the toilet bowl, the force would to weak to enhance the spin in such a short time. The swirl is mechanically directed. However even though pendulums aren't massive, they ARE affected by which hemisphere they're in if they swing long enough. Even so, that still leaves the question of why it was harder to push the pendulum in one direction than the other. "Why would it be harder?" That's my question. I don't have an answer. What's yours?
knowfedirs 2 years ago
My understanding of the Mystery spot is that there are areas which aren't related to the house which display the phenomenon. There is a place in Australia called Straws Lane where if you put your car in neutral at the bottom of a hill, the car will roll up hill. I have checked it out with surveying equipment and a friend and there is no optical illusion or fake slope. I haven't been to The Mystery Spot, but I know the house is bunk. The whole effect may not be.
formless777 2 years ago
In all of these spots, there is one thing in common: they are hilly, and you cannot see the horizon. So your brain creates its own horizon, to orient your body, which may or may not be the right one. And especially in cases where you're presented a crooked house or etc (things you expect to be level) it messes with your brain even more.
rawtoast 2 years ago
A reasonable answer rawtoast, however it's not an illusion if surveying equipment demonstrates a slope, and the car rolls up the slope when it shouldn't. I agree that many mystery spots are bunk where optical illusions apply, but not all.
formless777 2 years ago
A wise man once said "When you remove the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be true." Rolling uphill is impossible. So there must be a logical explanation for why it appears to do so.
rawtoast 2 years ago
Yes, Occam's razor is a useful thing. However one of the untapped frontiers of Physics is gravity, let alone the behavior of gravity on a rotating sphere. The Physicist Burkhart Heim had some interesting things to say on the subject amongst a great many other things.

Have you ever been to the Mystery Spot? Try recreating what happens there using real people, outdoors, with a horizon in view. Try using a level in your recreation. Try recreating how someone can stand with their legs straight but their feet are NOT under their shoulders like they normally would be whether the ground was flat or slanted. When you can recreate all that, demonstrate it live for people, without the amateur camera tricks that are fooling no one.
gotnerv33 2 years ago 6
there is no horizon in view at the mystery spot. that's how it works. the trees, distant hills, tall wooden fences and especially the cabin itself obscure the horizon, so things can look level when they're actually on a hill. people feel dizzy or sick because their body is naturally leaning against the tilt, so what they're seeing conflicts with what they're feeling, like at a fun house.

Okay. The thing that makes this 'Iffy' is the fact that everything built around this mystery spot is built at an angle. If they truely wanted to awe people they should have built the house level along with everything in it. But... reverse polarity is a real thing. Gravity can converge at a specific spot and cause phenomena like balls rolling up hill and such, and that is a fact. But these guys might be trying to hoax it, but these things CAN happen.

if you freeze frame at 00:27 you can see in the background the angle of the trees, which indicate that the house is built on a slant... the ball only rolls "up hill" because the grade of the plank, although elevated, is still less than the grade of which the house was built on.

Most people understand that these are illusions, but for alot of people that's where the mystery lies. It's a form of entertainment, just like magic, and for lots of people it's a release from the everyday world. There are very few things left today that are enjoyable, so my advice would be, to quit acting like a scientist, and enjoy.

I'm not acting like a scientist. I have stated many times in other comments this is an opinion formulated by research. If these people don't want to hear what I have to say, than it's as simple as not watching it, or looking up the explaination to the mystery spot. I'm not trying to destroy entertainment for anybody. It is still very enjoyable even though I know no it works.
