![]() After balancing a chair on a tiny wall ledge, he removed his hands to show that the chair was mysteriously suspended in air only by its rear legs. She's been very quiet, so it's not been disturbing, whatever it is."Įric saved his most spectacular shack demonstration for last. We really don't know." Another woman, seeing that there was a baby on the tour, wondered aloud about the Mystery Spot's effect on infants. "Well," he answered, "some people think that it's like a vortex where, like, this side of the hill is being pulled this way while the other side is going in the opposite direction. "What do they think causes this?" one woman asked Eric. "Have you ever?" "Oh my god!" "Ah ha ha ha." "I'm just kind of getting sucked in without moving!" said a third. "That's the strongest corner," declared another. " I feel like I've been drinking!" said one. Eric warned that, "You might become a tad disoriented," and people certainly did. When Eric tossed a tennis ball that twisted in mid-flight, a woman asked, "Does the ball have a magnet in it?" Eric answered, "Yeah, we have magnets all over the place," and the group laughed again.Įveryone was invited into the shack to feel its effects. "If we keep doing this he'll eventually disappear!" Eric cracked. One man, forced to stand in several places, seemed smaller every time. Eric confided that the "pull field" was "more stronger" in the original shack - the one on our tour - which made us feel bad for the other group over at the replica shack, but not too bad.Įven the souvenirs are distorted by a mysterious force.Įric went through some standard mystery spot demonstrations - standing sideways on a wall, pouring water uphill - sprinkled with chatty banter. Fifty years later an exact replica was built, "to see if they'd get the same effects." They did, and now Cosmos can accommodate twice as many tour groups as before. The first was discovered in its current mysterious state in 1952. Eric also revealed that Cosmos has two shacks of mystery. "We have no idea what's going on over there," he said (This may be because Cosmos is a mystery "area," not a "spot"). A visit to Cosmos is a bit more strenuous than mall-walking - so wear comfortable shoes - but each tour has plenty of built-in breaks, and the last half is all downhill in case you have to flee a sucking vortex.Īs our group climbed through woods toward the shack, Eric pointed to a large stand of trees that had all mysteriously bent themselves toward one spot. The hoodoo at Mystery Spots is usually strongest within a twisted shack on a hillside, which favors guides with young knees (a lesson that one Mystery Spot ignored to its peril).
