Summer is a fun time to visit many places in Massachusetts. But, one of the weirdest places you can visit is just past the Shelburne Bridge on Route 2 right after the Route 2 overpass in Greenfield. There, a strange phenomenon happens. If you put your car in neutral, hold on tight....you appear to be rolling uphill!
The place is called Gravity Hill and many tourists come to the spot to see the strange occurrence (note: it is recommended that you use hazard lights/four way flashers when you do it).
The car will roll up to 50 feet heading what appears to be an uphill position.
Before you get too freaked out, there is a natural explanation for the ability to defy gravity. It is simply an optical illusion. The surrounding landscape makes the spot appear to be an uphill slope. But, in actuality, you are really rolling downhill....the land around you makes it appear otherwise.
