Where The Student Body Is Permanently Absent . . .

The Spook Hill Motel, named after a gravity hill in Lake Wales, Florida, sported the cutest casper knock-off to catch the attention of passing tourists. It opened in the 1960’s and although the sign is long gone, the defunct motel still stands. It offered a swimming pool, color television, air conditioning and kitchenette efficiencies. The pool has since been converted into a sitting area / gazebo, as seen in the last screen shot.

I love the over-the-top description of the gravity hill off the back of a retro Spook Hill postcard - "A few blocks from the heart of Lake Wales is that mystifying and fascinating phenomenon Spook Hill. Here playful ghosts apparently seize your car and in defiance of the laws of gravity and your previous experience in such matters, roll your vehicle gently backward uphill, while they chortle in unholy glee at your mystification"

Spook Hill, Florida

[morbidology]

Spook Hill, located in Lake Wales, Florida, is said to be a haunted hill which defies gravity. Cars are reported to roll up the hill, when in neutral. Legend says that an Indian chief had an almighty battle with an alligator that had been terrorising the area. Both the alligator and Indian chief were said to have died at the top of the hill and now haunt the area. However, in reality, it's just an optical illusion.

The spooks weren’t cooperating today.

stop your car on the white line, place the car in neutral and the car will roll uphill
