Mystery Spot is no one optical illusion. It's a gimmick. Optical illusions may be in play from room to room, though, such as when the relative height of two people appears to change when they swap positions on a seemingly level surface. Largely; figure it's all just trick architecture. Everything's built so objects will swing, roll, or fall counterintuitively. One telling point: Knott's Berry Farm is a number of hours' drive from there. It's a theme park replete with rides and costume characters. One feature is a cabin (with the neighboring structures) with tricksy aspects similar to those of The Mystery Spot.
The 5:11 statue gets decorated seasonally. I think they put a pumpkin on his head in the Autumn and stuff. Surprised you caught him without the lei he has on; maybe most of the year.
I love Santa cruz I lived there for six years in the early 90s, I am from Mexico City. I hope to go back some day just for spiritual healing. I am now 60 y/o. I attended cabrillo College where I was part of the great cross country team. Thank u for the video.
Why is Marshie so gorgeous? 🥺 Most handsomest boi of all, he’ll be able to find Big Foot soon! And I’m lovin these shorter formats just as much as the previous longer ones, both formats are great! Keep up the good work ❤
Fun! I’m 4th generation Santa Cruz. My great-grandfather did the concrete for the carousel and the Giant Dipper over 100 years ago. My uncle designed the Giant Dipper sign found on the roller coaster. The weather is temperate here and the seashore and redwoods are pretty amazing… it’s hard to leave!
This is sooo COOL! I wanna try every single thing here. I’ve never seen Bigfoot personally…but then again he IS elusive! 👣 how did it feel with zero gravity? I’m jealous! 🥰💖
been to cowell park van club got kick out were not even out of parking lot yet, rode train, had lunch at lodge never seen ghost, boardwalk, walked across train bridge, rode motorcycles on hwy 9, ate at my first Togo,s sandwich shop, saw Clint Eastwood filming on the area a few times, ate in his restaurant
Aww! I miss Santa Cruz! I’m so happy you and Josh and Marshie had such a fun adventure !! It’s where your Daddy grew up and you made him proud. So many magical memories together with you and your sister as little girls!! You even visited places I’ve never been to!!!
I thought this whole time you had gone to the mystery spot!!!!!! It was very special to go back & see all the family spots and new ones. That brookdale lodge is crazy 😅
Nope I am a local for over 30 years and nothing in how you have it in this video. Roaring camp is only seasonal and the amount of homeless drug addicts are countless and worry some. And no they are not fire resistant at all! One tree was burnt down by a homeless lady trying to get high! And the amount of homeless that wonder the woods and terrible!
My wife and I owned a home in Scotts Valley for 16 years. We left when we could no longer understand our neighbors, most were from the middle East and spoke little English. Our neighborhood was called Oak Creek, mostly engineers, they made incomes to afford the homes.
Thank you so much for watching & for your kind words Elaine! ❤ that is absolutely amazing that you work at a Brookdale Lodge. Have you ever seen Sarah Logan??! 😱😍😭👻
Yes! When I bartended at the Lodge in 2001. I wasn’t aware of the history of the place at the time. It was eerie, and fascinating at the same time. I now work in the market and a few times things have flown off the shelf. ✌️
@@Anxiousrat323 if by Karen you mean a local who is tired of seeing tourists wreck havoc on my hometown, sure. Seriously, though... grow up. It's clear those fences aren't supposed to be crossed. It's a state park. That's disrespectful behavior.
I absolutely adore Santa Cruz. The boardwalk is insane. I also love the mystery spot. I have been there three times and I still can’t understand it.
Bigfoot is probably just a myth and the mystery spot is def an illusion. Still both are very entertaining

I think we need to go back and do a larger search for Bigfoot!!!
:)
Just Amazing. How does a ball roll uphill?? You guysdo such great work. It is really impressive

You guys are great. Love that marshmallow scares Bigfoot.

This is your best one yet! I think your husband is very handsome and really funny.

I need to go to that haunted hotel. I laughed out loud to that piano sound and the little girl laugh 🎹
The mystery spot looks so awesome. I wonder how it works?
BIGFOOT!!!!!! 🗣️
Ben Lomond such a charming little town.
I’ve been here and this is spot on. Great review
So this is so cool. I want to go ride those rides

If you want to visit in india welcome dear, i can 😊tour you throughout india and see india.
I fortunately live an hour away from Santa Cruz so I loove going to the boardwalk during the summer!! I also love seeing all of the red wood trees!
Heathers x Bigfoot seems like a good crossover!
(Sorry for bein late Heather!)
It’s okay Heather :) I love your style!!!!! I’ve got it: Bigfoot actually has a tiny lifeboat and is misunderstood about his size
These are some great suggestions for things to do in Santa Cruz!
Awesome! I miss the smell of the redwood forest and the salt air! Not to me the chicken mole at the Palomar!
Haha!! I am glad you liked it, so many good memories from our childhood in your hometown. Too cold here though!!!
I would love to go to the mystery spot

Santa Cruz is such a weird place but I still love it
Great memories visiting Santa Cruz with my family
This looks amazing and I would love to go
I would NEVER stay in a haunted hotel. You guys are braver then I am!

Berkeley is way weirder. So is Slab City.

It’s a RUclips video. My dad is from Scotts Valley and I’m trying to add some positivity to this dang place geez 🤣
Santa Cruz is special
Why do they always have a white dress?
Looks fun!!!

A fantastic episode. I think Bigfoot is a bunch of BS!
Born & Raised Santa Cruz. A very spiritual dark beautiful place. It’s all we know. It’s a privilege to live here.
Such a great video. I love Santa Cruz, and somebody finally showed the mountain side as well.
When I was growing up in Santa Cruz, the Mystery Spot was across the street from my parents home on Branciforte Drive.
Really?!?! That’s amazing!!! What’s your favorite thing to do in Santa Cruz? My dad is from Scotts Valley!!!!

This was a hoot to watch! I work at the Brookdale Lodge. You represented this majestic area of the Santa Cruz Mtns so beautifully! Great editing ✌️

Can’t wait to visit!🎉🎉
Great job capturing the area and mentioning all the cute little towns:) we love living here
Thanks for watching!!! I absolutely love your home 🙏🏼
Those fences on the redwood trail loop are there for a reason. Please stay on the trails when visiting our parks.
There’s always gotta be a Karen…
@@Anxiousrat323 there's always gotta be an arsehole.

shocked that you didn’t see big foot
