I have a question on this area's location

I watched a program on it once. It was an area in the US where everything was crooked on a slant, compasses spun, and divining rods spun in peoples hands when they would walk. I sort of remember that it was somewhere in the middle of the continent maybe. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, please help me out with more information on this place. Thanks.

Could it be the same place as in this thread?

Thats just an optical illusion though. I think this is in the wrong forum aswell.
