5 Places On Earth Where Gravity Doesn't Seem To Exist

5. Mystery Spot (Santa Cruz, California)

Deep within the shadows of Santa Cruz's giant sequoias, strange phenomena is afoot. Balls rolling uphill and people tilting at obtuse angles without amusingly falling flat on their faces are just two of the mind-bending miracles to be seen within the roadside Mystery Spot, where gravity seems to have taken a holiday.

What's the cause of this pocket of peculiarity on Highway 17? Some reckon it's down to cones of metal secreted underground as a guidance aid for extraterrestrial aviators. Others think one of these spacemen actually crashed on the spot, and their craft is buried underneath. More scientific explanations (as in, more scientific than aliens) propose a magma vortex, a hole in the ozone, or the highest concentration of dielectric biocosmic radiation anywhere in the world - whatever that is.

That said, all these suggestions come from the tourist trap's official website. It's actually just a bent house.
