According to the tour guides of these tourist attractions, all the effects seen are due to forces "outside the scope of modern science." Instead, they explain, these anti-gravitational forces are due to (depending upon the tourist attraction you visit) UFOs, paranormal activity, magnetic anomalies emanating from the Bermuda Triangle, and so forth.
During my tour of the "Mystery Spot" in Santa Cruz, the guide their offered no real scientific explanations, only stating that "scientists were completely baffled by what they saw." Perhaps they felt that if the mystery were explained, they would have to call it the "Spot," and that wouldn't attract many crowds.
Nevertheless, these tourist attractions contain some of the strongest visual illusions known. Familiarity with how they are constructed will not break the illusion. A visit to an anti-gravity house is well worth the effort. Some locations are given below.
When you enter the house, you will notice that it has a strange tilt. All references to the true horizontal are removed from your sight. This is always true whether you are just outside the house or inside it. For example, there is always a wooden fence around the house to remove any significant comparisons to the true horizontal.

How can this man be leaning off the wall without falling? No, he is not being held up by invisible ropes. How are balls able to roll up hill on their own accord as seen in the photograph?
