In the early 1950's, three surveyors from California stumbled across an area of land where their surveying equipment didn't seem to work properly. For instance, no matter how many times they would try to level their tripod through the use of a plumb-bob or a level, the plumb-bob would always be drawn far to the east even if the level was reading level. As they continued their research of this land, they noticed a constant feeling of being light headed . Later realizing that their queasiness and trouble with surveying equipment only occurred in an area of about 300 feet in diameter, they felt they had discovered a "Mystery Spot".

Millions have visited the Mystery Spot and many return year after year to experience the unusual sensation that occurs within its boundaries. Where else can a tall person seem smalle r by comparison or climb a wall and tilt precariously into the air but not fall? Gravity tends to play a role while sitting in a chair with its back legs balanced on a beam and front legs suspended in the air. You will without a doubt remember your visit to the Mystery Spot for years to come.
