A gravity hill is a place where a slight downhill slope appears to be an uphill slope due to the layout of the surrounding land, creating the optical illusion that water flows uphill or that a car left out of gear will roll uphill.
I went there in the 90's . It freaked me out until I got out and looked around. It's the landscape and the horizon. You get the idea of what level is from the horizon. If you had a very accurate altimeter you'de see you are rolling down a hill.
For the people who don’t understand why this is happening, this is called a gravity hill. It’s a place where it’s actually a slight downhill slope but due to the surrounding land it gives off the optical illusion that the slope is uphill when it’s not. This why the car appears to be rolling up hill when it’s in fact rolling down the hill and also if you was to pour a bucket of water on the hill, it would look likes it rolling up when it’s in fact rolling down wards.
If you view the 'hill' from the junction on Pynest Road and Avery lane, you can see where the Avery goes up and Pynest goes down. So when you are on Hangmans Hill from Avery it looks like you're going up to Pynest, but from the other way you can see that it does in fact dip 'down' to Pynest and that Avery just raises a lot more.
If you start at the bottom of the hill the car will go over the speed bump and back around to the bottom of the hill, done it many times just keep your doors locked and keep the engine running, you don't want to be the next victim
Sorry to burst everyone's bubble but there's a similar road in Scotland that does the same. Scientists, Land surveyors and a Psychologist debunked the urban legend on that road. I can only assume it's the same thing here. It's a tilted land mass and the surrounding land makes it seem like it is going uphill when really it's the other way round. Basically an optical illusion.
I must argue that the scientists saying its an optical illusion must be certified legally blind. This phenomenon is not an illusion. Been there many times & still can't figure it out. At night, its very eerie & a strange feeling. Went out the car & wondered around that part to the bridge where it stops. Knowing theres a graveyard nearby & Hangmans hill there, well, good night.
Its an illusion, its so steep, that the part that make you think your rolling uphill is slightly uphill in the other direction, hence making you think your rolling uphill, if you get what i mean. I have been on one like this in Braga, Portugal and it is more extreme, so much that its reaches about 4 to 5 miles an hour at points.
@@Jim-tb7sj mmmm I mean, its two hills going going the same way, its just one is steeper then the other. Your brain is thinking your rolling up hill because your unconsciously thinking one road is level and the other is up hill. That a bit better? lol

Ah thanks Ethan for showing me this.

Yoooooo sidemen doing bits innit
I had to see it myself, came from sidemen
used to go there with my mum when i was a kid, love the place
Big up sidemen lets go
Let's be honest , We all came after Ethan said cars roll up hill in that sidemen video!
POV: You came from the sidemen vid
And I have the pleasure of living very close to here
If you start at the bottom of the hill the car will go over the speed bump and back around to the bottom of the hill, done it many times just keep your doors locked and keep the engine running, you don't want to be the next victim
@@RunningOnAdd next victim ???
They had the engine on
Same
Same
seems like i’m not the only one here from the sidemen
Wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the SidemenReacts video...😂

Basically an optical illusion.
There's hundreds if not thousands of these globally, there's 8 that I know of in Ireland, and yeah it's just an illusion 👍
It’s actually going down hill 🙂. It’s the way of land and trees are built that makes you see and feel like as if you are going up the hill
Even if downhill it still moves whilst the handbrakes are up and if you park a car downhill it doesn’t move
@@Ghost-jt1iz he said in the video, handbrake off
The way land and trees are 'built' 🤣
Since when are trees or land "built" ? 🥴🤣🤦
@@mufcoasis1610 The road..
Whos here from sidemen???
Be honest, you’re here because of Sidemen Reacts.
Who's here from sidemenreacts

thanks Ethan!
