Mystery Hole


www.mysteryhole.com Come and experience the amazing force of gravity! Landmarked by a Volkswagen protruding from a Quonset hut, the Mystery Hole allegedly sits over a hole in the ground where the law of gravity does not apply. Balls roll uphill. Chairs sit halfway up a wall. Kids and adults alike are awed. Money disappears from your pockets.
