Über diesen Titel

Reality feels solid. Predictable. Obvious.

Beyond the Obvious is a cinematic documentary podcast that journeys into places where those assumptions quietly fall apart.

From gravity-defying hills and mysterious roadside attractions to natural phenomena, strange science, and environments that distort the senses — each episode explores real locations and real events that make the world feel slightly… unreal.

These are not stories of monsters or myths. They are stories of perception. Of environments that confuse the body. Of landscapes that challenge the brain. Of moments where the ordinary becomes deeply unsettling.

If you’re drawn to atmospheric storytelling, quiet mysteries, and the hidden strangeness of our planet — this is where curiosity leads.

  • PLACES ON EARTH WHERE GRAVITY FEELS BROKEN: Episode 7 - The House of Mystry
    Jan 27 2026

    What if the walls around you quietly disagreed with gravity?

    In this episode, we step inside one of the strangest structures ever built — a house where marbles roll uphill, brooms stand on their own, and your body swears the floor is tilting even when your eyes insist it’s straight.

    The House of Mystery is more than a tourist attraction. It’s a place where perception fractures. Where inner ears argue with instruments. Where balance becomes a suggestion instead of a rule.

    As we explore its crooked halls and warped rooms, we uncover the science behind why the human body is so easily fooled — how slanted architecture, hidden angles, and subtle design choices can override millions of years of evolution in seconds.

    But beyond the tricks and illusions lies a deeper question:

    If a simple building can make you doubt your own senses… how much of reality are we actually interpreting rather than seeing?

    This is the story of tilted rooms, wandering gravity, and the fragile trust we place in our own balance.

    Welcome to the House of Mystery — where buildings don’t fall… but people do.

  • PLACES ON EARTH WHERE GRAVITY FEELS BROKEN: Episode 6 - The Crooked Forest
    Jan 23 2026

    Hundreds of pine trees rise from the earth… and then suddenly bend. Not toward the sun. Not away from the wind. But sharply sideways — forming perfect curves at their base before reaching upward again.

    No storms are recorded. No earthquakes explain it. No one agrees on what happened here.

    This place is called The Crooked Forest.

    In this episode, we journey into one of the strangest woodlands on Earth — where nature seems to have followed a blueprint no one can find. We explore the leading theories, from human intervention to frozen ground and unknown forces, and uncover the quiet mystery of a forest where every tree bows… yet nothing is there.

  • PLACES ON EARTH WHERE GRAVITY FEELS BROKEN: Episode 5 - Devil's Pool
    Jan 23 2026

    PLACES ON EARTH WHERE GRAVITY FEELS BROKEN — Devil’s Pool: Standing on the Edge of the World

    At the very edge of one of the largest waterfalls on Earth, people do the unthinkable.

    They swim.

    High above the roaring drop of Victoria Falls, on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe, there is a natural rock basin called Devil’s Pool — a place where, during certain months, the Zambezi River slows just enough to let visitors float at the brink of a vertical abyss.

    From a few feet away, it looks like certain death. From inside the pool, something feels… wrong.

    The water doesn’t rush the way it should. The current doesn’t pull the way you expect. And gravity — the force that never negotiates — seems briefly restrained.

    In this episode, we explore Devil’s Pool: • How it forms • Why it doesn’t immediately sweep swimmers over the edge • What hidden rock walls are doing beneath the surface • And why standing here creates one of the strongest “gravity-defying” illusions on Earth

    This is a place where survival depends on geology, not bravery. Where a natural lip of stone quietly holds back one of the most powerful waterfalls on the planet. And where the human brain struggles to accept what the eyes are seeing.

    Because when you’re floating at the edge of a 350-foot drop… and not falling… gravity doesn’t feel broken.

    It feels paused.
