Spook Hill

Spook Hill is a historical landmark in Lake Whales that is famous as a "Roadside America" attraction. Spook Hill is a gravity hill, an optical illusion where cars appear to roll up the spooky hill in Lake Wales, Florida -- where cars inexplicably defy the laws of science -- lurk in every region across the America. Their locations are passed on by word-of-mouth, and they're frequented by cruising teenagers or families out for a thrill. Spook Hill is somewhat unique in that it's officially recognized by the town, and prominently marked for your uphill-rolling entertainment. There's a large sign on North Wales Drive explaining "The Legend" and how to experience the effect. Spook Hill received national media attention when an article about it appeared on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, it was featured in a segment on CBS Morning News, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.
