Lee and Karen Duquette,
The Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers
drove to
Spook Hill in Lake Wales, Florida, one of central Florida's lesser known attractions
that defies the laws of science.

Spook Hill is a gravity hill (an optical illusion where cars appear to roll up the spooky hill). The attraction is adjacent to Spook Hill Elementary School that adopted Casper The Friendly Ghost as their school mascot. The attraction is also in close proximity to Bok Tower

The two RV Gypsies followed the above instructions. Karen Duquette got outside of the truck and video-taped Lee Duquette in the truck on Spook Hill.

check it out At the bottom of this page, there is a video of the the RV Gypsies at Spook Hill.

While the truck is in NEUTRAL, it appears to be backing up the hill. It may take a bit for the video to begin (but it is worth the wait). The video starts with a sign that stays on a bit longer to give you time to read the sign before the movement of the video begins.

Spook Hill is located on the Lake Wales Ridge, a geologically significant range of sand and limestone hills, which were islands from two to three million years ago, when sea levels were much higher than at present. Many species of plants and animals evolved in isolation and are endemic to the Ridge. Most are threatened or endangered by possible extinction.

Spook Hill received national media attention when an article about it appeared on the front page of the Wall Street Journal on October 25, 1990, and it was featured in a segment on CBS Morning News with Charles Osgood on November 5, 1990.
