Washington is a wonderfully weird state. We have unsolved mysteries, conspiracy theories, and a plethora of alleged Bigfoot sightings. But nothing quite compares to Gravity Hill, a place where you can pull up, put your car in neutral, and somehow start rolling uphill, defying gravity as we know it.

Is it an optical illusion? Is it an unexplained phenomenon? Try it for yourself and find out.

Gravity Hill is located just north of Prosser, on a stretch of North Crosby Road.

Because some kind-hearted genius marked the starting point, finding your way to the hill is easy.

YouTube When you reach the starting mark, put your car in neutral and slowly take your foot off the brake.

You’ll be amazed when your car begins to roll uphill, pulling you toward an old, eerie barn.

YouTube Here’s the creepiest part: Legend has it that if you put dirt or flour on the back of your vehicle, you’ll be able to spot the small children-sized handprints of the ghost children that were pushing you up the hill all along.

Of course, the idea of tiny ghost children pushing cars up this hill is probably not true, but this phenomenon is very real.

YouTube And despite a log list of possible theories and ideas, there is no scientific explanation for why this happens.

Here’s a little video evidence of reporter Jordan Youngs of KNDU-TV in Kennewick testing the Gravity Hill theory himself:
