Has anyone heard anything about Ghost Hill (I think that is the name) in Orlando? I saw it on a show. If you put your car in neutral it will roll up hill.
Thanks!

Spook Hill
Anyone who watches the Travel Channel has probably seen this at some point in time...Spook Hill.

We got really bored the other day & somehow ended up driving down to Lake Wales to check out Spook Hill. First, let me say, the surrounding residential area is so breathtakingly beautiful, with the hills, the lake...it's just gorgeous. We're following signs all over town (ended up driving about 2 hours to find it) & FINALLY found Spook Hill Elementary (with Casper on the school signs LOL). Spook Hill is right next to the school. There's a sign that first sets the mood for the whole scenario...it gives some background info on it & all & then tells you to pull ahead to the white line in the road. When you get there, you put your car in neutral & do nothing. The car then rolls UPHILL! Wild!!!!

OK, so I have NO life whatsoever, but being in the area now, I'm finally getting to see all the stupid little things that make Central FL so unique. This was really very cool. Anyone else been here yet?

We were there years ago. Our car didn't roll up the hill!

Spook Hill is just off the road that takes you to Bok Tower Gardens. Bok Tower is a beautiful and very peaceful place that we always enjoy.

I've been to Spook Hill numerous times since I was a kid, and I've never seen anyone's car not roll back up the hill. It's a one way street, you stop on the line and roll backwards. Sorry it didn't work for you klynn.
