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. |

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.
