Gravity Hill

A road in New Paris offers the gravity hill phenomenon in which cars appear to roll uphill unaided, and even water appears to roll uphill. ^[3] A website offers a driving tour to explore this. ^[4] There are claims that nobody knows for sure what the cause is, or that it could be a gravity warp in the earth, but in reality it is an optical illusion created by surrounding landscape, giving the impression that a slight downward slope is actually an uphill slope.
