Can anyone tell me where exactly is the place where your car will be pulled UPHILL by the magnetic field in this area?

  • Would you be thinking of this...

    The 'Electric/Magnetic Brae' on The Spelga Pass, just below the Spelga Dam, near Hilltown, is one of the few places on Earth where water, footballs and other objects, including items as large as cars, appear to roll uphill, in defiance of the law of gravity

    This is the B27 road

    Yes.

    If you are leaving spelga dam, heading back towards hilltown, literally 200 yards or so down the road there is a small side road to the left that goes back on itself towards the dam - just on past the loos on the right. It has high footpaths either side

    I've tried to catch them off guard by going at odd times of the day and night and it always works! Bless them, they must work 24/7 :rolleyes:
