The Truth About Spook Hill Lake Wales Florida - Real Reviews

Today we are in Lake Wales Florida at Spook Hill.
Spook Hill is a mysterious spot in Florida where cars seem to roll up the hill defying gravity. Known as a gravity hill or a spook hill, is considered to be an optical illusion.
That is what I also believed, however after speaking with one of the locals that had family in this area in the early days, I heard a different story. They told me that Spook Hill had been around for quite some time, since it was nothing but a dirt road. The farmers in the area noticed their horses seemed to tire more quickly toward the bottom of the hill, right in the exact spot that now seems to defy gravity. This was strange to them since they figured it should be easier to walk down a hill than up one. However, it seemed to have the opposite effect on their horses.
Sounds a lot like to the legend posted on the sign to me. Could it be possible that somehow it was really more than just a mind trick? Let me know what you think.

    I bet you, this was a High School Halloween essay writing contests in the 1940s, to see who can come up with the most imaginative haughtiness BS story. So they came up with this gator, & Indian chief story & “army trail” road. (whoever heard of a road that’s only for an “army trail”) so whoever implemented this as a tourist attraction, is a half genius. If they could’ve figured out a way to charge money for this. then they would’ve been a FULL genius.

    When I interviewed Tom Davidson from the Citrus Candy Factory video, he told me from family history that their actually was always something strange about that spot. I can't remember exactly, but it was regarding the horses having trouble at the bottom going up either way. So, the story is based on truth. I wish I had remembered exactly what he said.
