The Legend
Ages ago an Indian town on Lake Wailes lake was plagued with raids by a huge gator. The town's great warrior chief and the gator were killed in a final battle that created the huge swampy depression nearby. The chief was buried on its north side. Later pioneer haulers coming from the old army trail atop the ridge above found their horses laboring here... at the foot of the ridge... and called it Spook Hill.
Is it the gator seeking revenge, or the chief protecting his land?
Stop your car on the white line, place it in neutral and let it roll back.
The Experience
I'm not sure why I thought a ghost would push our car to the top of the hill. :) We did roll back as there was a slight decline. The thing we did notice is we rolled back quickly for such a small slope.
Location
Spook Hill is located in Lake Wales, Florida. Type "Spook Hill, Lake Wales, Florida" into your gps to find it. It's right around the corner by the school.
