“You might feel a little dizzy at first,” she said. That’s four times more leany than The Leaning Tower of Pisa. At the center of the cabin we’d be standing at a 17-degree lean.
“Sorry, no refunds!” said our guide.Īs we walked up the hill towards a little cabin, our guide explained that the closer we were to the center of the spot, the more our bodies would tilt. But once they switched places, the two were somehow looking eye to eye with one another. The taller person standing on the outside was looking easily over the head of the shorter person. To demonstrate, she had two people stand on either side of a level board, one half of which was in the boundary of the Mystery Spot. Our guide was explaining that we were just on the edge of the Mystery Spot, and that we should start expecting gravity and physics to start acting weird past this point. Running past a snack stand and gift shop, we joined our group of about 20 people at the base of a little hill, or what looked like a hill. The destination - sold as a "tilt-box" or "gravity house" roadside attraction - was one of the first of its type in California and gained popularity in the mid-20th century. The Mystery Spot, established in 1941 by George Prather, was listed as a California Historical Landmark in 2014. We knew we’d reached the right place when we pulled into a parking lot with two cars completely covered in the famous yellow bumper stickers. After an hour and a half drive south from the city, we eventually reached the redwood forests, where there was as much beautiful scenery as there wasn’t cell service.
