The Hidden Truth: 22 Places Where Gravity Doesn't Seem to Work
Some places on earth don’t follow the law of nature. Though everything on our planet obeys the law of gravity, but there are some places where this law can’t be applied. These mysterious places can be included in your bucket list. Here are the list of places where gravity doesn’t seem to work.
1. Santa Cruz’s mystery spot
Oh, the famous Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz will blow your mind, a special place full of intrigue and imagination.
Some speculate that cones of metal were secretly brought here and buried in our earth as guidance systems for their spacecraft. Some think that it is in fact the spacecraft itself buried deep within the ground. Other theories include carbon dioxide permeating from the earth, a hole in the ozone layer, a magma vortex, the highest dielectric biocosmic radiation known anywhere in the world, and radiesthesia. Whatever the cause is, it remains a mystery.
After the guide shows you the area, you can mess with it yourself and try the different activities she explained. It is actually a lot of fun to mess around on the different “magic spots.”
2. Magnetic hill in Canada
Magnetic Hill has been one of New Brunswick’s most popular tourist attractions since the 1930s, a freak of nature that boggles the mind, and slides uphill onto The Great Canadian Bucket List. The no gravity hill is located at Exit 450 on the Trans-Canada Highway. Look for the signs to Magnetic Hill Park at the north end of the City of Moncton, off Mountain Road.
Your vehicle is pointing north, appearing to be on a downhill portion of the road. You stop your vehicle at a certain point on this awesome crazy road. You put the car, pointing downhill, in neutral. Basically what happens is a gravity or magnetic hill is a place where a slight downhill slope appears to be an uphill slope due to the layout of the surrounding land, creating the amazing illusion that water flows uphill or a car is left out of gear will roll uphill, among others.

3. Spook Hill
Another weirdest place on earth is spook hill.
This mysterious place with no gravity is an optical illusion where cars themselves rotate. Spook is located on Lake Wales Ridge of Florida. The geological form of the sand and limestone hills is a significant series, which was two to three million years ago on the island, when the sea level was very high. If you stop your vehicle or make it neutral, you will see that it is being pulled towards the mountain.
The attraction is adjacent to Spook Hill Elementary School, which adopted Casper the Friendly Ghost as their school mascot. The attraction is also close to the Bok Tower.
4. Hudson Bay area
Hudson Bay anomaly is one mysterious anomaly and you can mark this as one of the places where gravity doesn’t work. Hudson Bay has less gravity as compared to the rest of the world. Now, don’t go about thinking that you will start floating here but you will weigh less than you would anywhere else in the world. 40 years is how long it took for scientists to figure out exactly why this territory has less gravity. And the reason behind it is quite interesting too. If you have studied physics then you will know that gravity is a result of mass. This means that depending on the density of the Earth, each place will have varying gravity.
Remember that movie, Ice Age? Well, then you’ll remember that the world once went through a phase where the entire planet was covered in ice. When the ice finally started melting, the earth bounced back. But it took its own sweet time which led to the area in Hudson Bay getting a teeny bit messed up. Since the mass of rock decreased, so did gravity. And voila! That’s how we got such an irregularity.
5. Blanching Rock Colorado
Balanced Rock, the iconic 700-ton red sandstone ballerina perched on its tiptoes in the heart of the Garden of the Gods and Garden of the Gods is a public park located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, US. It was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1971. It is, after all, inevitable that the 290-million-year-old rock will fall. Too many factors are working against it. Maybe it will be dislodged by erosion. Or wind. It is one of the world's strangest yet bizarre phenomena seems zero gravity.
Perhaps it will succumb to Colorado’s notorious freeze-thaw cycles. Or even an earthquake. In 1936, an anonymous cousin of the Balanced Rock stood on a cliff about a half-mile to the south along the road to Manitou. This is one of the impressive things anyone could ever see where gravity doesn’t seem to work. Go and enjoy this natural phenomenon.
