Abstract: It is shown that the 1+2 gravity spinning particle metric when lifted to 1+3 dimensions in a boost-covariant way gives rise to a chiral conical space-time which includes as particular cases the space-time of a spinning string and two space-times that can be associated to the chiral string with a light-like phase and the twisted string recently discovered by Bekenstein. Some gravitational effects are briefly discussed and a possibility for a new type of anyons mentioned Ver menos
