OK, so over at YouTube you state:
"MY and the mrs proving these tracks are haunted by nice spirits."
ARE YOU KIDDING US?!

NO I am not... That train track is on an up hill incline.......just like most train crossings...
Maybe you can tell me why my car rolled forward on an upwards incline?
Maybe you just had to be there.
I did not catch any groovy evp ...just odd clicks.. But we do plan to go back and do this again with skate boards.....and what ever else we can use besides a car...
Other folks that have done this have posted on youtube...some got evps....
As for this...
I turned off my engine, hit the brake, waited for my wife to assure me that she was filming and the video starts at me letting go of the brake.
That shit lives up to its reputation.
Take a level with you next time and check along the roadway to note any slope.

The car rolling "uphill" is an optical illusion. Me and my hubby once visited a place like that in my own country where the "uphill" really is "downhill". We did the excact same thing, made the car roll uphill... Nothing but an illusion created by the surrounding terrain.
Like in this video. (Sorry, it's very late here in my part of the world, I'm WAY too tired right now to even try to embed this):

That was my thought exactly.... When next I go I shall bring a level, A skate board, maybe a trike or something else with wheels for them to push....
Mind you we made around 4 or 5 passes...This one I choose to upload as the best because I had my wife stand outside and film it.

That is your response to someone telling you the trivial truth? Oh... I see.
You and your wife just go right on filming invisible "nice spirits" pushing your car, then.
And good luck to you, man...

TT stated what I was thinking - it is an illusion that the road is uphill.
anarch
11-22-2009, 08:54 PM
Like I said... I'll bring the level next time no prob... as for it being an illusion..... No it aint.... I would say the incline is 5 to 10 degrees. It is slight but ever present...
It is a train track in a county road. homingpigeon I know you have been over train tracks on county roads... And I know you know that the Rail Road company normally builds them up and over...
Still...
I made this today...
I did not expect what I got.... and if anyone thinks it fake then they can fuck off and die for all I care. Too shitty to give the benefit of the doubt?...Just worthless.... I mean mine is just another drop in the bucket compared to all the other shane rd videos.
"But Fuck it"...... If you think The camera was tilted and it was all fake and that every other you tuber is a faker and that this spot is totally fake then "butfuck" it....Because there aint no help for ya anyways. FOlks will believe want they choose to believe despite any evidence the choice of belief is a personal one that only the individual can make....

anarch... this is your own video?
If you have access to the location: don't guess, go measure it. You don't need any more complex surveying tools as was available in the 18th century.
You'll need:
* 2 wooden dowels exactly 6 ft tall (about $2.50 each in any hardware store)
* 2 water levels (about $0.99 each in any hardware store)
* Bright orange paint or marker
* A protractor with a hole in the straight edge (a paper printout works fine, too)
http://www.altereagle.com/4_How_to_insta/IMAG005A.GIF
* A wooden ruler
* A nail
* Some tape
* A friend
Construction
Take one of the wooden dowels and color one end for about 6" with the bright color paint.
Stick the nail through the hole in the protractor, then sit the nail on top of the other dowel and tape it down. The protractor should be able to swing freely, with the curved portion hanging downwards. If you're using a paper protractor, you'll probably want to reinforce it with some cardboard backing.
Now get the rest of your stuff and head out.
Calibration and Use
Stand at what you perceive is the "bottom" of the incline, and hold upright the dowel with the protractor attached, and use one of the water levels to make sure it is perfectly vertical. Have your friend take the dowel with the orange tip and go to the "top" of the incline.
Use the water level again, but this time turn it horizontal so you can use it to level the protractor to zero degrees. Stare down the line of the protractor towards the orange tipped dowel, and slowly rotate it until you are no longer able to see the tip of the dowel. Read the angle on the protractor and write it down.
http://i50.tinypic.com/2qb956o.jpg
Do the process three or four times at a few different positions, noting the angle indicated on the protractor each time, and average the values together.
Doing this you can determine the angle of incline or decline independent of any visual illusions created by the surrounding terrain, and do so for around $10.
There is most likely a small downhill incline that give the vehicle sone momentum that carries it over the tracks.
Just take a 8ft 2x4 and a two foot level. Set the 2x4 in several places when checking. The long board will help level out minor ripples. measure the height of the gap between level and board when the level bubble is centered. That's the rise over 2 foot or 1/2 of it over 1 foot.

Too Much too much two much.....
I am just gonna do a live shot of me measuring the ground with a normal level in many different spots. I will throw in a skate board....
And if any thinks this is some down hill bullshit they can go fuck themselves with a cactus.
As I said b4 Their is an incline.This is truth It is some where between 5 and 10 degrees. Slight but present. For fucks sake it is a rural rail road crossing in a city... It is leveled out but still the side shown is on the incline.
Again as I said I will take a level next time......and a skate board.... These fuckers will push you if you stand on the track.... But that is neither here nor there... this vid is just another drop in the bucket... There are many on youtube And if mine is not validation of the others....then go fuck off pickle sucker...because any fool can deny wisdom......It takes an honest man to understand the pain of reality......some fucks just think their is no god, no afterlife, when we die it ends no more...stupid stuff....
If you think my vid is fake rest assured I am making another and will publish it.... and till then you can suck a salt vinegar pickle and die.
Be a jerk about it. you could be the one to prove or disprove the situation. given your attitude you'll bogus up the measurements just to make it look like the boggie man. No wonder the spirits are trying to drag you into the path ofa train.

Yeah... yet you refuse to take accurate measurements to empirically determine if it is an optical illusion or not.
With such dishonest research, there's nothing to say that these are all faked by each observer who, in turn, wanted to "see it, too."
Measure the incline of the road (maybe even multiple times at multiple places!) or spare us more of this nonsense.
Otherwise you might as well say that the effect is caused by the DUMB located under those railroad tracks, and the reptilian engineered underground bullet train was passing underneath at the time, so the Queen of England could have a secret meeting with George W. Bush in Crawford.

A level and a skateboard will only show you the grade at any given moment, not overall, therefore it is not a valid measurement for proof of claim.
I hope you do get to do the measurements and research.
Put multiple people rolling doesn't mean the grade is up hill all the way.

I do this all really fast because Right as I pulled up a Border patrol car passed me and then not long after that from the other direction an unmarked car passed.... This neighborhood aint the best to begin with so cops are there often and I am not the most legal mother fucker in the world....So I do this shit fast. Use the pause button if you want to take a really good look.

So as you can see the road is mostly level or on a decline till we get to the end... And we can see one side of the road is a bit higher..FOr the most point it looks as though skeptics win How ever let us move on to another car shot where I apply the brakes again and again.
PLD__pZNDUM
So as we can see, The theory that the chldren might be evil bastards pushing you onto the tracks maybe true....Spooky..
That or the road is on a slight decline until the very end.
Is this shit thoroughly debunked? I don't know...but I do know that nobody else took measurements with a level and posted it on youtube.......

The down slope provides excellent momentum.
Cogburn
11-26-2009, 02:41 PM
It's the lateral slope that is propelling the car.
Because the slope crosses the road at an angle, it provides exactly the optical illusion that was suggested earlier in the thread.

No it does go up at the very end... If you park your car right next to the track or press the brakes right next to the track you will not make it over the tracks.
Simple as that.
I also videoed a ball on the road. At first it went no where. Then I gave it a nudge. And then it went along on its merry way at a slow speed suggesting the reason for the season is a down slope.
But yeah it does go up at the very end.... But as I said...if you apply the brake you will not regain the momentum needed to make it over...
That or those children are evil bastards that want you to join them in death ;)
Cogburn
11-26-2009, 02:47 PM
That deserves some respect.
Respect is contained within the fact I am still having this conversation.
The road slants laterally at an angle, which distorts the reading of the angle at any given point when only measured in one direction.
It looks level from only one perspective, providing the illusion.
Measure it from a slightly different angle other than head-on, and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.

Look at the picture... the train is going downhill, perpendicular to the road, proving my point.
The road is not level.

May I refer you to frame 1:29...
Just saying if you park at that point shown in frame 1:29 that is where the confusion sets in... If you park before that point your gonna have the down slope momentum needed....but at the point shown in 1:29 you can clearly see the teeny tiny hill that makes folks go ooooo ahhhhh.

Well I can lead a horse to water but I can't make it drink. You know how to read a level. I took five level measurements.
In the last one you can see that it does go up at the very end. While to 30 feet preceding it goes at a down slope. This does not take a high school education to understand.

Five measurements that measure the wrong angle!
Your measurements create a model that is inconsistent with reality because you did not measure all of the angles that are relevant to the movement of any object on the that road.
You did half a job and called it a ghost.
I can't say it any simpler than that.

Christ, Cog.
You're just being a dick, now.
He admitted it's a downhill slope
headed towards the tracks.
That was the initial beef.
If the road does indeed slant to
the right, sure, that will provide
rolling momentum, too.
That wasn't the original question,
and wasn't what he was checking.
At the end, his comment about the
ghosts was made jokingly.
(that's how I heard it)
anarch

LOL!!!Yes indeed.
Cogburn
11-26-2009, 03:19 PM
It is not the downhill slope parallel to the road that is the causing the effect, it is the slope that runs perpendicular to the road at a shallow angle. It doesn't matter if the parallel slope is "up" or "down", because the perpendicular slope is still greater, even if by a small amount. That's why things don't move fast when they start rolling. It is an optical illusion.
You are all thick as hell.

so, sex and drugs aside, as I get it, Anarch first thought the road was level or even slightly uphill, then even more uphill over the tracks, ergo things rolling level to up, or up to more up was kinda spooky... BUT, Anarch went back, poked around, and found out it was actually Downhill towards the tracks, Then up and over, yes? That's what I had been reading around the net too, that it's really slightly Downhill before the uphill part of the tracks... cars build up enough momentum during the slight downhill part to make it up over the tracks...
