SAO:
The problem with the "water level" idea though, now that I think about it, is if there really was gravity distortion, then the water in the "water level" would also be pulled in a distorted direction just like the people, so the result wouldn't show you a true horizontal plane - it would simply show where the center of gravity is coming from in that particular spot. But, the way to verify this is just to look at the water level in an area where it's supposedly "normal" without any gravitational distortion, and then look at the water level IN the supposed "gravity distortion" area, and compare whether the 2 water levels are tilted the exact same way, or whether water in one of them is tilted in a different way than in the other. That might be a bit tricky to check though.

I really think the tilted walls/tilted trees optical illusion type stuff is behind all this but yes to check this you would need more than just the "water level", you'd need something like the angle between the "water level" and a heavenly body in both the wierd location and a nearby normal location checked at nearly the same time and you'd have be facing the same direction for both measurements and I'm probably leaving out something.

A very funny sketch of a titled room optical illusion. :P

I only yesterday saw about this spot on youtube

and then found something same in Crimea

It would be interesting if science would use these 'spots'.
