Magic Roads

[MaxiPower]

Well in Ireland theres a few locations in which when you put your car to neutel and let down the handbrake, your car wont roll down the hill but rather up the hill, its something to do with the magnetic pull from earth. Theres one ten miles or so away from me which i visited earlier today... whilst i didnt have a camera on me theres various videos on youtube about it, the one closet to me is called Spelga Dam, name is quite fitting

Note this is real and theres no tricks to it... theres many about the world

What I gathered from Wikipedia's article on them was that it was an optical illusion due to the layout of the surrounding land that made a downward hill appear to go upward.

yea i read that too but it doesnt change the fact that its 100% a slope no matter what way you look at it. Standing beside the car its going up and not down, millions of people visit the 3 hills in Ireland like this yearly because it actually is quite a sight. even if it is just an illusion

Wow, I had no idea that there is one in Burlington, Ontario... And I live so close too. Perhaps I will try to go over there myself once I have a liscense.

Have a nice day.
