    A gravity hill, also known as a magnetic hill or mystery hill, is an optical illusion where a downward sloping road appears to slope upward. Cars left unattended on the road seem to roll uphill against gravity. This illusion is caused by obstructed horizons that make it difficult to judge slopes accurately. Over 200 gravity hills have been documented around the world, though claims of supernatural forces are unfounded - it is purely an optical illusion similar to the Ames room.

    Water appearing to run uphill at Magnetic Hill in New Brunswick

    A gravity hill, also known as a magnetic hill, mystery hill, mystery spot, gravity road, or anti-gravity
    hill, is a place where the layout of the surrounding land produces an optical illusion, making a slight
    downhill slope appear to be an uphill slope. Thus, a car left out of gear will appear to be rolling uphill
    against gravity.[1] There are hundreds of recognised gravity hills around the world.

    The slope of gravity hills is an optical illusion,[2] although sites are often accompanied by claims that
    magnetic or supernatural forces are at work. The most important factor contributing to the illusion is
    a completely or mostly obstructed horizon. Without a horizon, it becomes difficult to judge the slope
    of a surface as a reliable reference is missing. Objects which one would normally assume to be more
    or less perpendicular to the ground, such as trees, may actually be leaning, offsetting the visual
    reference.[3]

    The illusion is similar to the Ames room, in which objects can also appear to roll against gravity.

    The opposite phenomenon—an uphill road that appears flat—is known in bicycle racing as a "false
    flat".[4]
