A mind-boggling optical illusion has spooked people into thinking that cars are rolling uphill.

A bizarre video appears to show a car defying gravity as it rolled up a slope in South Ayrshire, Scotland.

Watch the viral video here:

It appears that the road has a slight upwards slope - despite heading in the opposite direction.

Locally known as 'Electric Brae', the road is an example of a rare “gravity hill.”

Roads on gravity hill appear to be sloping upwards on neutral when they actually heading down.

A headstone at the roadside reads, "Whilst there is a slope of 1 in 86 upwards from the bend to the glen, the configuration of the land in either side of the road provides and optical illusion making it look as if the slope is going the other way. Therefore, a stationary car on the road with the brakes off will appear to move slowly uphill."
