The Bedford County Gravity Hill

Gravity Hills, Magnetic Hills or Mystery Hills, along which objects appear to roll uphill, seemingly against gravity…
Hundreds Of Gravity Hills
Sometimes called a ‘magnetic hill’, a ‘mystery hill’ or an ‘antigravity hill’, Gravity Hills are truly weird, if only for the fact that hundreds of gravity hills exist all over the world, and none of them can be conclusively explained.
Simply put, a gravity hill is an incline or a slope along which objects roll, seemingly uphill, as if gravity has been switched off or reversed.
While scientists and skeptics claim it’s all an optical illusion — that the trees lining gravity hills often lean at odd angles and that the horizon is invariably obstructed from view, thus offsetting the visual reference — we challenge you to watch the videos for yourselves and come to your own conclusions.
In fact what we would encourage you to do is pay one of these giddy gradients a visit, film what you see with your own eyes and then post your footage here for us all to marvel at. After all, the camera never lies, right…?
