Summary: 


There is a place in southern Oregon that has a stream which flows uphill,
and a house where gravity APPARENTLY does not obey Newton's laws. These
kinds of places are, in my opinion, all examples of illusion. It is
psychology, not physics, which best describes the "weird gravitational
effects" of these kinds of places.

Experiencing these illusions, however, is really worth the 5 or so
dollars charged for admission. They are quite entertaining.
