Gravity Mystery of Benzie County

When you have a chance to visit the Terrific Town of Manistee, you might want to take a short side trip to Benzie County Michigan.

Many hundreds of people make the drive to Blaine Township to experience a spot where gravity seems to go haywire.  You can take either Hwy. 22 or Hwy. 31 and turn onto Joyfield Rd.  Tavel along until you get to Putney Rd.  You will see 110+ year old church there and the site of a ghost town.  Turn south on Putney and you will see the scene at right.

Gravity mystery spot

I visited this spot last year just to test things out and can tell you that you should keep your foot near the brake pedal. 

 Drive downhill until you nearly reach the curve and can see pine trees on your right.  Stop your car and put it in neutral.  Be prepared for a surprise.

 My car literally accelerated backwards up the hill.  Illusion or not, I recommend caution.
