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 with the chiral string with a lightlike phase and the twisted string recently discovered by Bekenstein. Some gravitational effects are briefly discussed and a possibility for a new type of anyon is mentioned.
