Mystery Hole

Mystery Hole is located in Ansted, West Virginia, near Hawks Nest State Park and Cathedral Falls in West Virginia. Mystery Hole was founded by Donald Wilson in 1973.
Mystery Hole, immediately adjacent to the Midland Trail in Fayette County, promotes itself as a gravity-defying wonder. It is reminiscent of tourist traps of days gone by. It includes side show-esque attractions such as balls that roll up hill.
There is also a 1960s flower power-inspired decorated Volkswagen Beetle, originally painted by local artist Sherd Maynard, seemingly crashed into the side. The late artist's daughter, Amber, refreshed this with updated art.
Soon after founder Donald Wilson closed the attraction in 1996, he died, and Mystery Hole was neglected and damaged by vandals.
In 2016, the "world-famous" West Virginia roadside attraction, including several outbuildings and a cabin, was for sale for $495,000.
It has since reopened on a seasonal and weekend basis under new ownership and restored to its original glory inside an old autogarage in Cedar Grove, WV, inhabited by crickets.
