From the article:

--- Quote ---The village wants to build a road through the crevice where the Wonder Spot has stood since the 1950s.

What a great idea...
Insurance companies will soon exclude accidents on this road.

I've been to a similar place, that was also called "Magnetic Hill", though that one is in New Brunswick (apparently there are a lot of spots called Magnetic Hill). In my case too it seemed to be something else than an optical illusion. A book i read several years ago claimed that people disappeared at an unusual rate around there (can't remember the name, but that book also made quite a few harebrained claims).

Anyways if I ever get a chance to go there again I'll bring a water level and a camera.

When you say "water level" do you mean like.. literally, a glass of water? It seems that that might do the trick.

"Water level" is the name of the thingy with little glas tubes filled with water in it. :D
An air bubble is floating in them in such a way that you can see if the surface you have put it on is horizontal or if it is an inclined plane.

Marie:
Yep. Though a glass of water would do the job too, and might be easier to get...
