Strange house challenges the law of gravity

Mystery Spot (Santa Cruz, California, USA) is an exotic tourist attraction, but the law of gravity does not seem to exist. Here, water flows up, cars and balls roll up and down the slope, people can lean forward 45 degrees without falling .

Discovered in 1939, the initial Mystery Spot area was originally intended to build summer camps, but when investigators arrived at the site, they found their devices unstable. And those in this position think that there seems to be some mysterious force trying to make them lose their balance, and make them feel dizzy.

The owner of the land eventually gave up the plan to develop the land into a resort, but instead, they built Mystery Spot into a tourist attraction and started opening in 1941.

This attraction only includes a rudimentary house with an area of ​​only 14 square meters, located on the hillside. When visiting this place, they will witness unbelievable images, when the laws of gravity seem to be ineffective: the balls roll up the slope, the thread hangs almost parallel. But with the floor, people can stand leaning forward 45 degrees without falling, even many people feel disoriented, losing their balance when standing between the walls of the house .

Over the years, many theories have been proposed to explain the strangeness that took place at Mystery Spot. One of the most bizarre explanations involves flying saucers, when many believe that a landing system for alien flying saucers is buried underground and aliens distort their work. dynamics of gravity in this region. This hypothesis is even recognized on the official website of Mystery Spot.

Meanwhile, many others believe that the house is in a strong electromagnetic field , while others believe there are unusual geological forces that remain unknown underground .

But the most plausible explanation is the pure science phenomenon and the way the house was built . In 1981, psychologist Ray Hyman of phenomenal phenomena came to the conclusion that the real house was built in a laugh-like style , located on uneven surfaces, the corner was not built square. while the walls are not built straight.

According to Hyman, the buildings that build laugh houses distort the projections of the image and create a series of optical illusions that make gravity look like a joke , and Mystery Spot is believed to be one of such architectures.

Hyman thinks that when people stay long in that space, our brains are trying to navigate, using straight and horizontal methods to identify what's up and what's down. When there is no horizontal line to reference, our brain made a mistake. And when our bodies are placed at a corner like the hillside of the Mystery Spot, weird fantasies will increase.

A tourist who visited Mystery Spot explained more about the "mystery" behind this tourist destination. Accordingly, at the start of the tour inside the house, visitors will be introduced to 2 parallel horizontal beams by the tour guide, then the instructor will place a carpenter ruler in between 2 beams to It proved completely flat. However, when the lower ones stood on the right side of the beam, they looked as tall as the taller people on the left. This visitor believes that the instructor fooled people from the beginning. In fact, the carpenter's size was really uneven but most people just followed what the instructor said, and they were deceived.

There may be scientific explanations for everything, but it is not easy for you to see such phenomena every day. So whether visitors are fooled or not really does not matter, as long as this thrilling thing makes people excited.
