The Mystery Spot
One of the most amazing things I remember from Knott’s Berry Farm was the “Haunted Shack.” I have no idea if it’s still there or not, but the place was always cool to walk into. Water would flow uphill, cans would defy gravity, and the world was twisted. The whole shack had a way of making you feel quite disoriented.
As a kid, I knew it had to do with the way that the floor was slanted (I closed my eyes and walked slowly), but I never knew why. The following site explains the hows and whys, and also provides a few good links to “mystery spots” around the country. I’m especially fascinated by those that are formed naturally.
i went to the Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz about 6 yrs ago. that was a trip!
