are the reversing falls in st.johns ,new brunswick really reversing or is this a tourist publicity gimmick?

It's not a gimmick, it's an illusion , the same as the mtatlic hill, you're going down but it looks lie uoi are going backwards,something to do with physics, ask the physic' pro's for the deep, lengthy answer, they're good!

This is an interesting question because there has been recent evidence found using geodetic surveys in southern and central Lousiana that that area is still falling as a possible result of rebound from the Wisconsin glaciation. \n\nI found a good map of geodetic measurements at Northwestern University.  It shows current measured rates of rebound in New England and Canada. It looks like New England is along the pivot line, with the coastal parts still falliing and inland areas rising. The rates are hard to read from the map but appear to be a few mm/year. \nhttp://www.earth.northwestern.edu/research/geodesy.html\n\nI'm also including some links related to the topic that I ran across while trying to find this map.

Yes.  I have seen it.  Furthermore, I recommend it to any and everyone.  Many may see in it what they want to, but where there is smoke, there is some fire.\nYou are right about the buildings coming down in a suspicious fashion, as well.  While I am not a demolisions expert, it appears to be a "controlled" drop.

The Gudgeon Reliquary? It's fictitious.

Yes, I have seen that happen for years. Sycamore especially. The wind blows them in a twist. I don't know the involvement with the water, but when it rained it usually blows first and that's when you see the leaves twist over...

what monster? No real evidence. I have lived near Lake Champlain many years. No one has ever had a good picture of \n"Champ".  perhaps some funny shaped stumps floating or otters, or other animals swimming on the surface. I am a skeptic even though I have friends who say they have seen it. although they are not really sure what they saw.

because of the gravitational pull on the water, it comes down, not straight

When a waterfall, such as the tallest waterfall in the world, Feather Falls, tumbles, it is rarely more beautiful than an obviousness, such as a mirror on a moving train refracting light falling on a different location as the train moves. No?

Looks like an planned demolition if you ask me. \nNo building falls like that naturally, also, the center falls first so that the walls will fall inward.  \nNone of the videos show the first few seconds (you know, where you hear the blast of dynamite in the demolition).\n\nNo motive, I can think of, but very suspicious.

Here you go, my friend... it is a resort in Canada (Alberta to be exact) and they call it "the spa".  I hope you go and get a great rub-down.  Cheers!

I think I know what you're talking about. It's in California on Highway 1 and it's called the Mystery Spot. \nThe gravity there isn't really off balance, but there is an optical illusion there that makes you think the world is a little crooked.\nThis is thier web site:  http://www.mysteryspot.com/\nI visited there a few years ago, but really was not impressed. Gravity seemed just fine to me.

Niagara Falls USA and Niagara Falls Ontario are absolutely two separate and very very different cities. I'm from Buffalo, so I know this, been to the both sides of the falls many, many times.\nBerlin used to be, but nothing like that exists today to my knowledge.\nBut Niagara Falls? If you don't know, don't add to the ignorance out there.

There are some great, quite easy trails in the pine forest at Bracknell.  There are no major uphils, but great surfaces, places to rest, a great information/nature centre, and a lot of encouragement for mountain bikers.\n\nI used to live and work there before I left the UK and it was very nice.\n\nHope this helps.  Enjoy!

their is one in (north burlington ontario) as well  .I have also read their is one in  Oshawa ,ontario, If you go to the bottom and place your car in neutral it drags your car uphil slowly .\n____________________________________________\nscientifically it is an optical illusion \nSometimes you may find or hear of a mysterious place where objects can apparently roll uphill. This is a remarkably common illusion which is found in numerous locations around the world. Usually it is a stretch of road in a hilly area where the level horizon is obscured. Objects such as trees and walls which normally provide visual clues to the true vertical, may be leaning slightly. This creates an optical illusion making a slight downhill look like an uphill slope. Objects may appear to roll uphill. \nSpots where the illusion is especially powerful often become tourist attractions. Tour guides may like to claim that the effect is a mystery or that it is due to magnetic or gravitational irregularities or even that it is a paranormal phenomenon which science can not explain. This is not true of course. Natural irregularities can only be detected with sensitive equipment and cannot account for these places but science can easily explain them as optical illusions. \n\nThere are several things which enable us to sense which way is up. The balance mechanism in our inner ears is one system we have, but visual clues are also important and can be overriding. If the horizon cannot be seen or is not level then we may be fooled by objects which we expect to be vertical but which aren't really. \nPeople often overestimate the angle of a slope. If you are standing on a slope of 1 degrees it will seem like a slope of 5 degrees. Because of this effect the anti-gravity illusion can seem stronger than it should be even when you know the cause.\n\nEven when the true cause is understood it can be difficult to believe. If you think there is a magnetic anomaly just use two plumb lines, one made of iron and one of stone. They would hang at different angles if a strong magnetic field was acting horizontally. \nHowever, it is not always easy to demonstrate that a slope which appears to go uphill is really going downhill. The only reliable way of determining the true horizontal is by careful surveying. If a good topographical map of the area is available it may be sufficient to show which way the land is really sloping. The results will confirm the illusion. \n...\nyou can also check the info I found on the Oshawa site \nhttp://www.shopinoshawa.com/magnetichill.htm

~Virtually everything in the Falls is for sale.  Problem is, a year after you buy it, it is going to be worth about half of what you paid for it.  Have you been there?  If you want bang for your buck, look in Lewiston.  Lockport might makes sense too.

Didn't know what kind of information you were looking for.  Is this a vacation with family,or you and a friend?  Or just trying to find something to do tonight.   So maybe these will help you.  Have fun!!\n\nhttp://www.discoverourtown.com/TownPage.php?Town=329&Cat=Attractions\n\nhttp://www.sanangelo.com/

I haven't heard it, but I used to live in the U.P., and I'm glad to be hearing about U.P. events.  And I can just hear the Yooper accent in the name of the event.\n\nThanks.
