- LiquidIse, on 05/10/2008, -0/+200Why not use a level?
- hairypothead, on 05/10/2008, -1/+133FYI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_hill
- Absinthminded64, on 05/10/2008, -5/+78This is retarded. Anyone who sees this with half a brain should know what's going on.
- SvenGeiss, on 05/10/2008, -3/+75the trees just grew at an angle to give the illusion that your going up hill.. but in essence your still going downhill. take a level to it and you'll see
- tim710, on 05/10/2008, -3/+52I want to see someone on a skateboard try.
- Slices, on 05/10/2008, -1/+48...and ruin the mystique? That would be preposterous!
- TsuruchiBrian, on 05/10/2008, -0/+41Isn't it obvious?
The magic hill makes the bubble inside the level go the wrong way too. - Slices, on 05/10/2008, -4/+44In a land of retards, a person with half a brain might rule.
- ophello, on 05/10/2008, -3/+32YOUR: POSSESSIVE: YOUR JACKET IS WET
YOU'RE: CONTRACTION: YOU ARE...as in... YOU'RE AN IDIOT FOR NOT KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "your" AND "you're" - blagoaw, on 05/10/2008, -0/+26Step right up and see The Amazing Gravity Defying Hill and its faithful sidekick, The Amazing Gravity Defying Level.
- HayString, on 05/10/2008, -0/+24"this is no trick or illusion..."
Liar! - inobla, on 05/10/2008, -2/+25People get spoofed by the funniest ***** when they want to believe in it badly enough.
- woofers07, on 05/10/2008, -1/+22WITCH!!!!!!!!!
- synystar, on 05/10/2008, -2/+21I think it's actually that both roads are going upwards on a sloping hill but the one on the left is cut deeper into the ground giving the illusion that you are going downhill when approaching it from the other road.
- NeedzABetterSN, on 05/10/2008, -0/+16No, It's an illusion.
- Tibin05, on 05/10/2008, -0/+15It's an uphill battle getting people to understand that gravity hills are not magical.
- birdlives, on 05/10/2008, -3/+17I have a Gravity Hill in my town, although the incline isnt that big
- dhughes, on 05/10/2008, -1/+16 There's one in south eastern Canada called Magnetic Hill, it's near the city on Moncton in the province of New Brunswick.

- paloooz, on 05/10/2008, -1/+14Pathetic.
Pathetic. - ligyron, on 05/10/2008, -0/+13... it's just an illusion of up hill when it's actually downhill
- chemicalrxn, on 05/10/2008, -0/+12Along with the roadisgns too. They were probably placed perpendicular to the road, but not in a true vertical position.
- blagoaw, on 05/10/2008, -0/+12When you've got the illusion of infinite energy, who needs energy?
- Heavypettingzoo, on 05/10/2008, -0/+12You're wrong. He does.
- GreenGrassyNoel, on 05/10/2008, -1/+13So you are saying use scientific evidence to disprove a claim? This doesn't always work out as it should.
- clemsontiger, on 05/10/2008, -0/+10There is a place in the mountains of South Carolina that this happens too. Its funny to tell someone and them call BS on you then you take them there and the expression on their face.
- Slices, on 05/10/2008, -0/+8uhn?
- TsuruchiBrian, on 05/10/2008, -0/+8Yes absolutely there is a way to get infinite energy from this. Just follow these steps:
1. Let the car roll up the hill and hook up the wheels to a generator that will charge a battery.
2. Push the car back down the hill. It will seem really hard and it will feel like you are using energy doing it. But this is just an illusion. It is in fact really easy (because it is down hill).
Repeat several times and you will have charged the battery. Congratulations you have just solved all the world's problems. - SquigglyP, on 05/10/2008, -0/+8I applaud your skepticism, but you lose points for stupid.
- ironlung, on 05/10/2008, -0/+8infinite.
- PoppedCulture, on 05/10/2008, -0/+7Nope, that was an illusion.
- SEGA4life, on 05/10/2008, -6/+13Theres one of these magic hills right here in Florida.
They say some people died because there car crashed going down the hill, so the ghost try and stop people by not making them go down it, or pull them away from it. - inactive, on 05/10/2008, -3/+10If you drive towards Hillary clintons big head you will notice this effect. best thing to do would be not stop.
- skepticality, on 05/10/2008, -3/+9There is another like this right near Wyoming, on the way to Mt. Rushmore. They call it 'Cosmos', you can find more info on it. They actually DO use a level on the tour, it is kind of a fun thing to go see/look at. You can roll a ball, what seems like, up hill. :)
- uhhNo, on 05/10/2008, -1/+8You don't need one... CARS are able to roll, it obviously isn't level. It's an optical illusion.
- vitalsparx, on 05/10/2008, -5/+12I think there's a few of these anti-gravity hills around the world: here's one in Scotland-

It's amazing to go downhill and uphill on them the wrong way ;-) - afruff23, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6This comment is so funny and sad at the same time (e.g. the state of college education).
- inactive, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6I think the fact that it's a car is pretty important. Cars can get rolling fairly easily and quickly on a really small slope
- AngelBunny, on 05/10/2008, -1/+6we have one of these hills around here. growing up my mother would take me on it and put the car in neutral and it would roll up hill. i finally figured out what was going on when I was like 6 or something. it was one of the more fun tricks my parents showed me when I was very young.
- AMSRay, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6I remember my parents going to this old tourist place when I was kid called Mystery Hill. I thought it was in South Carolinas, but when I googled for it I found that it is actually near Boone North Carolina. They still have the old "Mystery House" where water appears to run uphill and and other pranks and illusions. It's been a tourist attraction for at least 70 years. www.mysteryhill-nc.com
- shadowblade989, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6Theres this tourist trap called 'Mystery Spot' that uses this same principle
My grandma made me go there when I was younger and it turned out to be very interesting.
They have platforms that people stand on and appear to be on a slope of like 50 degrees and not falling, etc.
Pics on the official website http://www.mysteryspot.com/photos.shtml - inactive, on 05/10/2008, -1/+7Yup. Been there. Love the Florida ghost stories . . .
- 2006, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6Did anybody else hear the sound of the Black Smoke from Lost, 23 seconds in?
- xcvbn, on 05/10/2008, -1/+8yore just being silly, many important people have just over a half. and it wouldnt interest them enough to even consider an explanation.
"I believe that the human being and the fish can coexist peacefully."
"She's a West Texas girl, just like me."
"More and more of our imports come from other countries."
"I know how hard it is to put food on your family."
"I understand small businesses. I was one." - blagoaw, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6Aaaaaaaah bet she does, I bet she does. say no more!
- punkcat, on 05/10/2008, -0/+5burn him and his glass bobble.
- MasterGrief, on 05/10/2008, -0/+5What are you implying?
- synystar, on 05/10/2008, -0/+5He's 33...that's old? I'm 33. So ... I'm old? *****, I knew the day would come. =(
And he joined like a couple of months ago and I've been on digg since 05. I've never seen this. So yeah. - Slices, on 05/10/2008, -1/+6You are old, maybe you're just disappointed with yourself?
