There's one of those near Aston Clinton, known locally as 'Gravity hill' - yes there's also a ghost story behind it.

Clever illusion actually, all seems very weird when you're actually in the car at the time.

No it really cant. been proven many many times.

I don't get how people can be taken in by this, by 38 secs into the video its blatantly obvious the road sloped down hill away from the camera, not up...

Wow thats amazing!! I can't believe it, surely this is impossible?? the road just climbs towards that corner then turns & just keeps on climbing!! i'm amazed, its just mind boggling!!  there has to be some proper wytchcraft or strange magnetic fields at work here...

Oh wait Phil said its a con... damn how did I not realise this was just a bit of a laugh, man do I feel suckered!
It's the time that we kill that keeps us alive...

There is also a place in Scotland (near Ayr) that has a hill a bit steeper than this one and does actually work - that one is no con as we tried it.

When you're stood there, all the surroundings really do give you the impression the 'slope' is going up in front of you.

As Fubar said, it is a bit of fun, live a little

Seemed obvious to me re illusion of the gradient and surroundings, but ho hum...
