Deep in the redwood forests outside of Santa Cruz is the Mystery Spot. It’s a circular area of about 150 feet in diameter described as a “gravitational anomaly”. Balls roll uphill, brooms stand on end, tree branches grow in strange directions and people seem to shrink or grow taller. How is that possible? Some will have you believe it’s due to UFO and alien activity and others attribute it to magnetic forces underground. Others might have you wondering if it’s just an optical illusion. You’ll question the law of physics and gravity as you ponder the answer.
