- Imagine stopping your vehicle as the bottom of a hill, putting it in neutral, and it starts going up hill by itself! Such is the case at Gravity Hill, outside Mooresville, Indiana.
An odd legend for generations, it’s not the only place where people have experienced unusual phenomenon in Indiana.
Come along for an adventure, as we explore the legend of gravity hill, and other odd places like it!
I used to work in Mooresville and knew where gravity hill was, so one weekend night I took some friends from Bloomington for a cruise to gravity hill. Of course I had to prove to them that I wasn't in drive and giving the car a little throttle, I put it in neutral and we went up the hill backwards and they dumbfounded. They wanted me to do it again and I most certainly did because it definitely makes you feel out of place, it's always fun to discover something odd and rare. They all thanked me for taking them there and said they would never forget that night, I always had fun taking friends to places that are unique that they'd never been to before. Thanks for sharing this video Roger, it brought back a lot of good memories. You should go at night it has more of an erie feeling , take some friends it's worth the drive and just tell them your taking them on an enchanted drive to a mysterious place. JP from Little Cincinnati, Indiana.
I grew up near Greenwood, and heard high school kids talk about it, in the late 1980’s. Was glad it wasn’t an urban legend, and that I got to finally do it! 🙂
@@AdventureswithRoger there's an ancient sea bed at Lennard springs trail off of Lennard springs rd in Bloomington you should do a video on. It also has a good sized waterfall best observed during spring rainy season. There's a couple of caves and an awesome walking trail that runs through the whole thing. There's a couple of signs put up by the nature preserve that gives some info on the ancient sea bed there. There never a whole bunch of people there at one time because the parking is limited, it's very peaceful and beautiful, you could spend a couple hours shooting video there because there's so much to appreciate. A lot of people I've talked to have never heard of the place or even knew we had an ancient sea bed in Indiana. There is a wetlands with a dock and I've seen the great blue heron there, you should check it out man.
I grew up there. At the bottom of the hill and left a mile tords Mooresville is the john Dillinger farm and govener Hadley's mansion . @@AdventureswithRoger
Is Mooresville still a sundown town? I knew black guys that wouldn't go there in the daytime back in the 90s.
@@supersteimy8200 I’ve started work on a Dillinger biography. I haven’t got incredibly far, but have received a few good stories from people that knew him.
Watching this made me feel like I was back in school. Roger you get an A+ for this one.
Ewing ave in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, is a gravity hill exit on 208 south. There are a number of gravity anomalies around the world.
Roger, I always enjoy your videos. Indiana is phenomenal. I'm an OG Buckeye. Many wondrous sites there too. Thanks for what you do. Most excellent.
Thank-you, Libby!
Thank you for researching this. Fantastic video.
My pleasure, Jules!
There's a place near Boone, NC that's also weird like this. They built a house over it with ramps that slant to the side. But when you walk on them, you feel level. We continued to feel strange after we left the place.
Something about these places, for sure. What’s really going on is anyone’s guess.
Oh my goodness! I remember going there as a teenager in the early 90s! ❤
There is a place like this in Central Florida called "Spook Hill" near Winter Haven. They do say that its an optical illusion because even though it looks like you are going uphill, you are actually going down. Great episode. I need to catch up on your videos. I'm getting over cancer. I hadn't watched your videos much the past year. I love your videos of sll the interesting and unusal places that you find and feauture found in Indiana.
Prayers for a continued recovery, Michael! I took a level, to prove / disprove the legend, but there was just too much traffic on that road
You were in my neck of the woods. I have lived in this area for almost all my life. Back in the day my sister-in-law stopped the car, put it in neutral, and up the hill we went. It was very freaky. Now, it is a fairly busy road. Thanks for showing that.
One checked off my bucket list!
Outstanding! Your videos are really awesome. Keep up the great work 👍
Good evening and im enjoying your videos. Indiana native.
My son and I went on Friday. It was very busy. But we did it. I tried it coming from the East first, but there was too much traffic. I noticed going West how hard the car pulled to get up the longer portion of the hill. Going back East, I was able to try it better. Of course we experienced the "reverse gravity" going up the short portion of the hill. Let's just say that I think that a surveyor would be able to explain what is going on there.
I had a level and toy with wheels, had planned to figure it out. Simply too busy to try an experiment in the road.
Gravity on its own is a mystery, Einstein had his theory, but it gave him fits, still waiting on that (theory of everything)? When I was a dumb kid,I was digging a hole,like I did all the time for some reason? I uncovered a vein of gray clay, probably something in a state of decay? But I made the mistake of asking my big brother what it was? He told me it was gravity,he loved to screw with my head. So I set out to dig up enough(gravity) to make a sphere,big enough to make a small ball of brown clay orbit around it(not sure how I thought I was going to suspend it,fishing line maybe) but I was on a mission.I had quite the gravity mine in the works, that is until my Dad(a real miner) got home from work, surprisingly he didn't share my enthusiasm for the industry, he couldn't'see my vision,one that would surely make me and probably him famous,all he seen was the top of my head, and then the big hole I was standing in,proud as I could be,grinning from ear to ear. Unlike most disputes between labor and management,there was no room for negotiation, no mutually beneficial agreement, no contract ratification.Not only did talks breakdown, threats of bodily harm were thrown around by management,resulting in the closing of the worlds first gravity mine,in Dad's yard anyway.
I love family stories! So many great growing up stories, and discoveries made
Love it! Very reminiscent of what a friend and I chose to undertake once in my backyard. A tunnel to his backyard! Management here didn't approve either. I remember putting the shovels away about 10pm that night, after refilling the hole. 😒 Would've been so cool.
Nikolai Kozyrev's time energy/torsion model, electrical universe theory, and Chris Langan's Cognitive Theoretical Model of the Universe (CTMU) would probably be up your alley of interest :)
There’s a similar phenomenon at Devou park in Covington Kentucky
There is one in Covington Kentucky also.
There's a place like that in rural Kansas next to the Missouri state line. Some people try to claim it's a landscape optical illusion on each side of the road and it only looks like it's an uphill incline, but that absolutely isn't true.
There may be one of these roads in every community I suppose. There is one in Park Hills, Kentucky, near Covington. I can't remember the name of the street. We used to have fun there rolling "up the downhill slope" in neutral. Of course, this is always an illusion, but fun when you are in high school all the same. We would use half empty bottles of beer like a spirit level, laid on the roadbed. Can't imagine where we obtained beer at that age.
Is this like the hill at Spook hill in Florida, we went backwards uphill in neutral, and has a native American story!
Probably very similar, though I couldn’t find a Native American legend tied to this one.
@@AdventureswithRoger Supposedly an indian and an alligator got into a fight, some spiritual legend that caused the phenomenon, and there was a plague or sign back in the 80s!
That road doesn't ever seem to stop. We tried during the day and was to busy. But went back later in the evening and perfect!! Awesome video
Another excellent video!
Thank-you!
I grew up there! Great place to live.
Bet you ate at Gray Brothers Cafeteria, a time or two ! 🙂
Road trip! 😎
Thank you. I'm going to check this place out!
Thank you, Roger, for another interesting trip.😊
All jokes aside, thanks again for a awesome video.👌
Another great video Roger! Very interesting stuff!
Excellent so cool 🤗
A trip to Gravity Hill would be a good excuse for lunch at Gray Brother's.
Definitely! Out of all the years I’ve ate there, I always get the exact same things: fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, macaroni, banana cream pie. At one time, they had incredible ribs, but haven’t been on the menu for ages.
@@AdventureswithRoger We went on Good Friday. They did have ribs. That is what my son had. Imagine my shock when the bill was $60 for two meals. And it wasn't as good as it was years ago. Probably my last trip there. Seems everything is going that way.
@@meandthemrs7403 My brother said the people running it were different, and it had really changed from when we grew up.
Is poes still in Mooresville to?
@@Cjdanks448 Sadly gone. Gray Brothers Cafeteria is still around.
According to Google Earth, the elevation where you began traveling forward is 249.66 meters and where you stopped was 249.03 meters.
I wouldn’t put much stock in that. Commercial GPS can be off as much as 5 meters, so wherever you think it’s measuring is already inaccurate. Best approach is to take your own measurements on site.
I used to live in Mooresville and Gravity Hill was one of the first things I learned about the area. I have been down that road a number of times but never experienced going uphill with my car in neutral since the road as stated is very narrow. Still an interesting experience if you can successfully attempt it.
love gravity hill, creek in the road, Salem's church all the good old things we used to do as a kid
Awesome video Roger. I'm gonna have to go to Mooresville now...
It’s absolutely legit, your vehicle will go up the hill if you park it at the right place.
We have a gravity hill in Richfield, NC. There’s nothing better than taking your young teens/teenagers out there on Halloween night and scaring the daylights out of them 😂
It needs a good backstory to have the best effect! 😄
I have been there. It's weird.
Always wondered about this place. Thanks Roger!
It is legit. It took me decades to go there, but it works as advertised!
Have one in waymart PA also.
There’s a place like this in logansport Indiana. Mount hope cemetery. Water spigot at bottom of a hill. Turn water on it will flow up the hill. I haven’t been there in a long time, not even sure the water spigot is still in same area.
That sounds very cool! Seems like someone was telling about a gravity hill up there also.
Neat video Roger.😊
I live a few miles from Mounds Park. I love camping there. The hill I saw as a kid as well. I think it's just an illusion personally. Nice video Roger. Cheers, Junk's Automotive
Theres a gravity hill in northwest Indiana too. It’s between south haven and Valparaiso, if I remember correctly. Went out there over 40 years ago now. Check out the Francisville lights south of wheatfield off 421. It’s another weird indiana thing thats unexplained. Former Indiana resident 35+ years.
Have heard about the one further north but haven’t been there
@@AdventureswithRoger Yep, when I saw the title, i thought it was that one. Something else interesting. Ran across an old newspaper scan online about a 7’ tall skeleton found buried along lake michigan back in the 1800’s when they were mining sand for glass. Predated native americans as I remember. Interesting stuff. You may be able to find it online. The area is now the dunes national park.
National Parks are creating a headache for CZcamsrs. They want us to pay $100 and up just to film on property. The workaround in northern Indiana, is to film just beyond the park border. There used to be a great deal of mounds along the shoreline, but I don’t know of any that still exist.
County line road in porter/laporte county, north of hwy 6 and before you go over the toll road if my memory serves me correctly. It’s been over 30 years since I’ve tried it.
Haha, we've got a "gravity hill" in Covington, Ky. It's really just an optical illusion, tho.
There’s many of them around the world, a few people mentioned a place in northern Indiana
It's the magnetic Lev bases underground that are propelling your car. It's a network across not only this country, but the entire world. They built the bases using plasma to vaporize the rock below so there's no Rock pile.
Another Great Video , 👍👍👍
Thank-you, Gerald!
Another good video Roger. Have you considered "Peggy Hollar" in Martin cty., or the railroad tracks legend in Dubois county? We did both, and the trax was very weird, as well.
Had not heard of these!
I love your videos. So fascinating 😊
Thank-you, Robin!
Lmao yup grew up close to that town loved going out there ❤
Thanks for info. I would like to take my daughters there sometime. Richmond IN here🤙👍
Definitely put Gray Brothers Cafeteria on the list!
Thank you for once again showing me Indiana’s mysteries. I wish I still lived there so I could visit more of them. I would really enjoy going backwards up this hill! Amazing! I enjoyed the map that showed all of the mound builders sites. I believe the Book of Mormon is a record of their people. Wayne May has done an extensive study and is on u-tube. There are others also. I wonder if you have ever looked into this. It is fascinating and goes along with your research.
The Book of Mormon has many serious historical issues, that bring question to everything else in the book. It mentions many specific animals living in North America, in antiquity, but the Spaniards only brought them in the 1500’s. There is zero evidence of these animals in the North American fossil record, as they simply weren’t here until about 500 years ago.
The pull off area that made you and your Mother sick is one of these areas. I felt high energy levels and it made me sick when I went there. Not a good area to stay very long.
I’ve heard of a few other areas like that. Would be interesting to see if they line up with these unusual places.
Vortex in montana is one.
Interesting video.
Gravity hills are weird to me. I believe theyre an optical illusion because if gravity were so weak to cause a 3,000+ pound vehicle to go uphill then we would feel that in our bodies too. Your arms would start flaoting, etc. If gravity were that weak.
I went to prove it was an optical illusion. I brought a level and a wheeled toy, to demonstrate the changes, but that road is way too busy to do it safely.
@AdventureswithRoger That would be cool to see some real tests. I would believe your results too. I've seen several CZcamsrs go to gravity hills all around the world and do tests, but, I don't think we can trust the results. That's a shame the road is too busy for you to perform some tests.
@@AdventureswithRoger Roger, Purdue University studied this some time back and declared it to be an optical illusion. Could you maybe try to find that study and give us an update? Thanks for all you do!
@HeirOfNothingInParticular Could be a legend about a legend. I couldn’t find any study, about Mooresville’s gravity hill being analyzed by Purdue University, or any other institution.
@@AdventureswithRoger Really? Hmmm… might be like you said, a legend about a legend. Lol. Thanks Roger.
Interesting ty 😊 🏆🏆
There is a gravity hill in Sylacagua Alabama.
We have a gravity hill that's well known in our area. It's in Baltimore County MD. It goes through Soldiers Delite Park on Words Chapil rd. The same thing happens there but I believe it to be an optical illusion where it appears you're going up hill but you're really going down. I think it's the lay of the landscape, I've wanted to actually survey it to see
I took a level and a toy with wheels, to prove or disprove gravity hill, but there is no pull off to park a car. If I were re-thinking this adventure, I would’ve parked somewhere level, securely fitted the level on the dash, sideways, and filmed the level as I travelled gravity hill.
There is also a Gravity Hill near San Antonio. Nice study.
I lived in Anderson, Indiana for a while back in the 1950s. Our church, The Church Of God, had its headquarters and college there. So, I am familiar with the area and found it to be a wonderful place to live. The rural farm I lived on has since been turned into a music and entertainment center. It was originally owned by Mr Bloomer.
Anderson has always seemed like a peaceful place, each time I’ve visited.
it looks like the gravity map you showed has some of the least magnatism in the bermuda triangle? that might explain some things out there.
I’ve long wondered about that. The people that have survived the strange events in the Bermuda triangle, reported their compasses were going crazy, as if it didn’t know where north was.
Hey Roger, I found a undocumented iron furnace in southern il, wanted to show you pictures
there is a gravity hill on shelburne rd in greenfield massachusetts,
I live less than a mile from there.
thanks for another interesting Indiana story Roger. i once had a oldtimer douse for water on my property,Walter Yaworski. he told me he could find water but he did not know how far down it was . also he said if he walked right through a puddle his vanes would not react . well who knows all the answers ?not me
My Mothers family lived at Hunters Creek, south of Lake Monroe, and they knew some very interesting people in those woods. They knew a dowser that would find wells, and a lady that would touch burn victims, immediately healing the wound. One of my uncles had a severe burn, and after she touched his arm: like baby skin. My other uncle was ran over by a tractor, and they all thought he was dead. Grandma told the other brothers to run and get the healer lady. She touched my uncle and he woke up, not a single broken bone. He lived another 60 years and pastored a church.
amazing and i believe it@@AdventureswithRoger
Lots of unknowns in this world!
amen!@@AdventureswithRoger
Theres one in watsonville ca as well
The state of Illinois has one also
so life in Sri Lanka must feel lighter and bouncy!! I am moving!!
Maybe. But VERY hot
@@AdventureswithRoger 🥵🥵👍🏼.. drats!! really enjoying your channel
This is some cool stuff you found. Are you planning to film the eclipse in Indiana next month?🌒
Thinking about it. There’s a weird story about the upcoming eclipse, that local people are talking about.
AdventureswithRoger does the story have to do with Rapture, Indiana? Would love to hear before the eclipse.
Specifically: Nineveh. I haven’t fact checked the stories, but there’s supposedly 7 towns in the US named Nineveh, and all are in the path of the eclipse.
I think it goes over 3. It has to do with the 40 day warning ofJonah. Fascinating stuff.
Yes do it.👀😊
Bill...do you have ley rods to measure around the mounds? EBay has them.
My husband says there is a gravity hill located in New Castle, IN, also
Had heard that too.
Ley Lines exist in the 4 Corners area as well as on Salisbury Plains in England. Some believe they are a grid. You are more accurate ... They are also random. There is a field of noticable energy.
We have gained a lot of knowledge that likely was lost long ago. It was probably felt by our forefathers because they didn’t have all the modern distractions. Eventually we may connect the dots once again.
That’s a great point about distractions.
Does that curious line lay inside next months eclipse path?
Now that would be interesting!
Actually, I believe it does! Hmmm!! 🤔 Albeit to the north of the center of totality.
Yes, that's what I was thinking also!
Well gravity hill , first get out and lay a carpenters level on the road.
I was going to do that, and put a toy truck at the bottom, to see if it would do the same thing as a big metal car. There is no place to park unless you can convince one of the neighbors.
I wonder if you get as tired from”climbing” Gravity Hill.
Roger, go to Google maps, draw a line between Angle mounds and Browning Mountain (Indiana Stone Henge) could that be an ancient prehistoric lay line? Old farts like me say YES!
I’d done a segment about Browning Mountain, but had forgotten about it when thinking about ley lines.
ITS real I lived in MOORESVILLE
AN optcical illusion fun on a biccle
what would i type into google directions to find it?
Gravity hill
Gravity is magnetism it is not what we have been taught thank you and God bless you my friend
I love Roger's work. Always quality. Yes, the thing we call gravity is in truth magnetism. We also live in a Realm and not a planet. Wishing everyone a happy and joyful day
@@llegedly I believe buoyancy as well electrostatic, the compass shows you it's magnetism in them areas and they couldn't track gravity because it is non existent and invisible lol but they can track the force of magnetism
Has anyone tried other stuff like a basketball
😮psi fi
This is crazy, because when I saw the title, I thought, "Wow, someone did a video of Gravity Hill", but it's not the Gravity Hill I know. The one I know is near New Paris, Pennsylvania, and it has been featured on the local news stations and in the local papers. Everything is the same as in this video, except it is, or at least was, a dirt road last time I was there. I just found it on CZcams. czcams.com/video/VgO6QPEt4mo/video.html
There’s quite a few gravity hills, across the world. I’m hoping to find one close, that doesn’t have as much traffic. I’d brought a level and even a toy, to do some light experiments. But a vehicle went down that road at least once every minute, there was no safe way to do it.
One more comment...ley rods are copper...nonmagnetic.
best place to launch into space on the planet is central India because they have the weakest gravity across the landmass of the planet.
I never thought of that, but it makes perfect sense
U know cars don’t roll uphill and water doesn’t flow uphill. A minute fluctuation in gravity is not a reversal… 🙄
In Fort Wayne there is a road that is said to do the same thing.
