No. 7: Magnetic Hill (Canada)

At Magnetic Hill in New Brunswick, Canada, cars appear to roll uphill by themselves when you put them in neutral. People have been reporting this since the 1930s, and it’s become a major tourist attraction.
Scientists say it’s just an optical illusion—the slope looks like it goes up when it actually goes down because of how the surrounding landscape tricks your eyes. But some visitors report weird compass readings and GPS glitches that suggest something else might be going on.
Even though geological surveys haven’t found any unusual magnetic fields, people keep insisting they feel some kind of mysterious force. It’s become a place where science meets the unexplained.

For the past 80 years, something absolutely bizarre has been happening at California’s Death Valley. Massive rocks—some weighing hundreds of pounds—slide across the desert floor by themselves, leaving mysterious trails behind them.
Scientists finally cracked this mystery in 2014. On rare winter nights, a thin layer of ice forms on the usually dry lake bed. When the sun comes up and the ice starts melting, gentle winds push the floating ice sheets, which then shove the rocks around.
But here’s the thing: the right conditions only happen every few years, so actually seeing it happen is incredibly rare. The rocks are still out there, still moving, still keeping Death Valley mysterious.
