Sometimes you may find or hear of a mysterious place where objects can apparently roll uphill. This is a remarkably common illusion that is found in numerous locations around the world. Usually it is a stretch of road in a hilly area where the level horizon is obscured.
Objects such as trees and walls that normally provide visual clues to the true vertical, may be leaning slightly. This creates an optical illusion making a slight downhill look like an uphill slope. Objects may appear to roll uphill. Sometimes rivers even seem to flow against gravity.
Spots where the illusion is especially powerful often become tourist attractions. Tour guides may like to claim that the effect is a mystery or that it is due to magnetic or gravitational anomalies or even that it is a paranormal phenomenon that science cannot explain.Such places are known as Gravity hills
Gravity Hill , also known as a Magnetic Hill and sometimes a Mystery Hill , a mystery spot, or a gravity road, is a place where the layout of the surrounding land produces the optical illusion that a very slight downhill slope appears to be an uphill slope.
Wadi-e-Baida known as also Wadi-e-Jinn around 45-50 Kilometers far from the 2nd Holiest City of Islam in MADINA
History Of Wadi-e-Baida
Once RasoolAllah (S A W W ). was passing by this Wadi and one Yahudi asked him to show him a Miracle. RasoolAllah (S A W W). asked the Yahoudi what miracle he wants to see the Yahoudi pointed towards a Tree and said Call the tree towards you if you are a Prophet the Tree would listen to you and would obey your orders. RasoolAllah s.a.w. just saw the Tree and it started walking towards him and the Yahoudi instantly accepted islam.
We have heard many stories from the locals that they have heard strange Voices of Jinns in that Wadi and those who have stayed their in Night said that they hearvoices asking them to go back you dont belong here..this is our place.
Narated Aisha (r.d.a). Allahs Apostle said : An army will invade the kaaba and when the invaders will reach Al Baida all the ground will sink and swallow the whole army.
I said “O Allahs Apostle pbuh! how will thy sink into the ground while amongst them will be their markets(ppl who worked in business and not invaders) and the people not belonging to them? the prophet replied all of those people will sink but thy will be resurrected and judged according to their intentions.

Spook Hill is a gravity hill (an optical illusion where cars appear to roll up the spooky hill) in Lake Wales, Florida.
Spook Hill is located on the Lake Wales Ridge, a geologically significant range of sand and limestone hills, which were islands from two to three million years ago, when sea levels were much higher than at present. Many species of plants and animals evolved in isolation and are endemic to the Ridge. Most are threatened or endangered by possible extinction.
The attraction is adjacent to Spook Hill Elementary School that adopted Casper The Friendly Ghost as their school mascot. The attraction is also in close proximity to Bok Tower.
