Though quite entertaining, I got sick to my stomach while on the tour of the Mystery Spot. Whether it's magnets or just the way it's constructed, it definitely had an effect on my equilibrium. My husband and daughter had a blast though! [Karen, 06/27/2005]

"Can you solve the mysteries just waiting for you? You will experience optical contradictions and physical sensations here that are hard to believe. Even a blind person could be affected." -- Mystery Spot brochure

And who doesn't love the prospect of all that? This Mystery Spot (rather well advertised on the surrounding highways) is something I've been dying to see but haven't gotten there quite yet. A good stop, especially if you're doing the more traditional tour of Mackinac-related stuff (Island, Bridge, Fort, fudge). It probably just involves some tricks with naturally occuring (or not) magnets, but cool nonetheless. "You will have to see it ... to believe it," apparently. [Anna Brawley, 07/04/2004]

[RA: We've enjoyed St. Ignace's swirling strangitude -- more on Mystery Spots. Magnets or invisible ghost hands, we couldn't tell, but we found it difficult to take a picture without an unnatural tilt in the framing!]
