People, these "phenomena" are deliberate *tricks* and you are
either pulling our legs or being taken in yourself.  At Knott's
Berry Farm in Buena Park, Ca there is (or was ~15 years ago)
a so-called Haunted Shack where all these illusions could be
seen -- gravity not vertical, water running uphill, people's
heights changing as they moved about a room.

Please, give us none of this "disinterest of the established
scientific community" incantation.  Be at least as critical
of the charlatans and hucksters as you are of the scientists.
The exercise will be good for you.  After all, there are many
other groups of people in the world who are also trying to
fool you with a fast patter and a slick image.
