According to Prather, most of these effects were focused in an area approximately 150 feet in diameter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Realizing he had an interesting piece of property on his hands, Prather dubbed the place the Mystery Spot and opened it as a roadside attraction in the early 1940s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, the Mystery Spot runs tours 365 days a year to the spot and through a cabin that helps demonstrate the quirks of the area. The wooden structure leans sharply downhill, but visitors standing in front of it appear to be leaning uphill. The effect is an illusion that they’re standing almost diagonally. Water poured on a board demonstrated to be on an incline runs in opposition to gravity.[aside postID=news_11988955 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/TiosTacos01-1020x680.jpg']Walking through the cabin’s rustic interior, the discombobulation intensifies, with visitors sometimes experiencing motion sickness as a result of an unusual shift in perspective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The angle of the cabin allows folks to climb up the walls and stand balanced in seemingly impossible positions. A large weight at the end of a pendulum swings widely when pushed one way, but half the distance when it swings back. People appear to change in height when standing in different areas around the cabin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How is this possible?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mystery Spot’s “official” theories posit that maybe a UFO crashed into the hillside long ago, and the still-running engine is causing a magnetic anomaly. Or, perhaps, there’s a swirling pool of magma somewhere deep below that’s affecting gravity in the area. Or even that some gases are seeping out of cracks in the hillside, causing visitors to hallucinate the whole thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The truth, of course, is not any of these wild, magical theories. It’s an optical illusion, though a supremely convincing one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For $10, plus whatever you’re compelled to spend on souvenirs, you’ll get one of the classic bumper stickers and enough mystery to keep you wondering all the way home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
