Some people believe that the world is predictable, quantifiable, manageable. But the abundance of Mystery Spots across North America -- often mysteriously close to major highways and tourist attractions -- proves those people wrong.
At Mystery Spots \\"the laws of nature seem to have gone completely berserk,\\" as a sign at Cosmos Mystery Area declares. Water defies gravity. Balls tossed into the air veer off course. People shrink or grow depending on where they stand. Mystery Spots are less dangerous than space monsters and more predictable than spook lights. On the X/Y axis of...
Our tour guide at Cosmos was Eric, 17 years old. 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). A visit to Cosmos is a bit more strenuous than mall-walking -- so wear comfortable shoes -- but each tour has plenty of bu...
As 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. \\"We have no idea what's going on over there,\\" he said (This may be because Cosmos is a mystery \\"area,\\" not a \\"spot\\"). Eric also revealed that Cosmos has two shacks of mystery. The first was dis...
Eric went through some standard mystery spot demonstrations -- standing sideways on a wall, pouring water uphill -- sprinkled with chatty banter. One man, forced to stand in several places, seemed smaller every time. \\"If we keep doing this he'll eventually disappear!\\" Eric cracked. \\"Ah ha ha ha,\\" the group laughed. When Eric tossed a tennis bal...
\\"What do they think causes this?\\" one woman asked Eric. \\"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. Like a circle. We really don't know.\\" Another woman, seeing that there was a baby on the tour, wondered alo...
Eric saved his most spectacular shack demonstration for last. 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. He announced that it was \\"the Cosmos truth chair,\\" and that anyone who sat in it and told a lie would make the chair tumble forward onto th...
As the tour ended and the group staggered back downhill, we pulled Eric aside and asked him if the forces at Cosmos were sometimes too mysterious for some sensitive souls. \\"I've never had someone throw up on my tour,\\" he reflected. \\"Sometimes they run back down to the gift shop and go to the bathroom.\\"
Perhaps this is what Cosmos means when it refers to itself as \\"a physical experience you will never forget\\" -- but we hope not.

Jan 1, 2024 · By Joshua Meyer / Jan. 1, 2024 10:30 am EST. In the Black Hills of South Dakota, about 7 miles from Mount Rushmore, a weird, crooked cabin seems to defy the laws of gravity. They call it the Mystery House—not to be confused with the Winchester Mystery House in California.
