Gourment Pizza & The Mystery Spot
Truman is standing up straight in both these above pictures,
but this house is built crazy so it looks like he is really amazing at leaning haha.
Once again, Truman is pulling himself straight up but because
the house is crooked makes it look all cool!
The Mystery Spot is a place in the wood in Santa Cruz, CA. Back in the early 1900s, a family bought this land and was having a house built on it. The builders went to make the foundation, and they would use thier level, but it looked crooked to the naked eye. They even re-did the foundation, but that same results. Just like in these pictures, this board looks like one side is higher than the other, and it would seem to be that way because shown by the pictures --I'm taller in the 1st picture & Truman is taller in the 2nd picture. However, if you stick ANY level on it, it will show it as completely level. The owners of the property kept getting upset at the builders because they were supposedly making the foundation uneven, but then the builders showed them with a level that it was level. They even bought a different level, but only to find the same results. This mysterious event only happens on certain places in the mystery spot. The owner's children found another one of these spots one day-- they had fun playing because one child could stand on one side and be taller, and they could switch spots and the other would be taller (or taller than before). The spot they found is only about 4 feet apart and it does this. The parents got upset at their 2 kids and told them not to play there anymore and eventually got so spooked by the place, they sold the property and moved.
Another crazy thing about it is that it only happens one-directionally. For example, Truman & I stood on the spot across from each other in the North to South direction. I was significantly less shorter than him than I usually am, and then a level is placed down showing it as completely level. But then if we stood across from each other in the East to West direction, we would be our normal heights compared to each other. Whole physics classes, scientists, carpenters, you name it have been up there to try to figure out this phenomenon to no avail. There are different theories, & it all seems weird, but just one of those things you have to see it to believe it!
The tour guide did this multiple times for us, & we still couldn't believe it. One of the times he just placed the ball in the middle of the board and it just rolled up like that! Crazy! Then another one of the times which is what this video is of, is he even pushed it a little down the board, and it rolled all the way up the board.
