Mystery Hole

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mystery Hole is located in Ansted, West Virginia, near Hawks Nest State Park and Cathedral Falls in West Virginia.

Mystery Hole, immediately adjacent to the Midland Trail (U.S. Highway 60) in Fayette County advertises itself as a gravity-defying wonder. It is reminiscent of tourist traps of days gone by. It includes side show-esque attractions such as balls that roll up hill and a snake pit full of deadly snakes for viewing. There is also a Volkswagen Beetle, chopped in half, seemingly driving out of the building.

The Mystery Hole is an underground series of rooms where the walls and floors are built at angles to give the impression that there is something wrong with the gravity in the area. There is one section where water seemingly flows upwards and the tour guide sits on the walls.^[1]
