Answer 1

I've been to "The Mystery Spot" in Santa Cruz, along with a visit to The Winchester Mystery House on the same day. By the time we arrived mid-way through the Mystery Spot tour, I was prone to inexplicable bouts of laughter. Perhaps I was feeling light headed and giddy from the pull of gravity. Or maybe it was the optical illusions... This was possibly the best laugh/bang for $5 yet.

Wikipedia offers an explanation here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_Spot

"The Mystery Spot is a gravity hill type of optical illusion. The phenomena that visitors to the attraction may experience result from the effects of forced perspective, optical adaptation, and certain optical illusions in combination with the steep gradient of the site. That is, the situation inside a Mystery Spot is arranged in some way so that the visitors don't feel that the site's gradient is actually steep (the site is actually tilted, that is), despite the fact that it is. Some of the effects are identical to those in an Ames Room.

As visitors travel through the site, they habituate to this gradient. The effects of this adaptation are then exploited, especially within closed structures, so that visitors may feel as though gravity does not operate as it should in the Mystery Spot."

I've also visited the many vortexes at Sedona, AZ, and most definitely felt more energized there. More info here:

Answer 2

I've been to the Mystery Spot near Santa Cruz. I thought the strangest thing was all the trees and plantlife growing at such an odd angle. I'm not sure what physicists are currently saying about the area, but I think Einstein or Richard Feynmann would have had a field day!
