Have you heard of the famous anecdote about Newton and the apple? Well, one day, Sir Isaac Newton was sitting under an apple tree when an apple fell on his head. This led Newton to a brilliant new idea: the Universal Law of Gravitation. Newton might have been ingenious enough to be the first one to mathematically explain gravity, but even he might have scratched his head if he had experienced a certain gravitational anomaly in California.

The Mystery Spot is a tourist attraction located in the redwood forests just outside of Santa Cruz, California. Santa Cruz is a coastal city about 117 km south of San Francisco. The Mystery Spot is a small piece of land where the laws of gravity and physics do not apply. When touring the property, a tour guide will show water that flows upward, balls that roll uphill, sticks that stand on their ends by themselves, and people who can walk up walls.

In 1939, George Prather discovered the Mystery Spot, which he found made him feel dizzy and nauseated. It quickly became a popular tourist attraction, and people from all over the world wanted to come experience antigravity. Several attempted explanations have not been proven yet.
Some say that there is an alien spacecraft that crashed underneath the area, and some say that the Mystery Spot is a tilted visual illusion. Whatever it is that people try to say about this famous location is yet to be proven. The Mystery Spot still remains an unsolved mystery that is appealing to all ages.
