History & Paranormal Activity

A 150-foot diameter circle in a redwood grove where the laws of physics appear locally suspended — balls roll uphill, people lean at extreme angles without falling, and heights appear to shift based on position within the circle. Discovered in 1939 by George Prather, who built a tourist attraction around it. Scientists have offered competing explanations — none universally accepted.
