There’s a strange little circle of land in the Santa Cruz Mountains where, it’s said, gravitational forces are askew and laws of physics are reversed … The Mystery Spot! It attracts visitors from all over the world to witness the phenomena for themselves. It also draws researchers from such renowned institutions as University of California-Berkeley to try and explain how and why, for example, a tennis ball seems to roll uphill. So – have you ever been there? Unless you’ve had out-of-town visitors to entertain, you probably haven’t … work, school, and other commitments always seem to stand in the way of exploring the unique corners of Santa Cruz County.
Does it really defy the laws of gravity, or is it a complication optical illusion? The only way to find out is to experience The Mystery Spot for yourself and autumn is a perfect time to venture into the redwoods and explore our local paranormal phenomenon. Tours are seldom sold out — unlike summer. Then after your guided tour, there’s a short hiking trail, so make a day of it.
