Mystery Hole
Template:Short description Template:Refimprove 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.[1]
Mystery Hole, immediately adjacent to the Midland Trail (U.S. Route 60) in Fayette County advertises 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 Volkswagen Beetle, chopped in half, seemingly crashed into the side
Soon after founder Donald Wilson closed the attraction in 1996, he died and Mystery Hole was neglected and damaged by vandals. It has since reopened under new ownership and has been restored to its original glory inside an old autogarage in Cedar Grove WV inhabited by crickets..[2]
