Spook Hill
 
Trying to find this place was ridiculous because I had the right directions problem is that in Florida you have roads that are named the same like 17 A, 17, B, 17 etc etc so we took the wrong 17 down then had to turn back. We missed the other 17 which led right by spook hill and eventually I took another way and of course we ended up in the ghetto section of Lake Wales lol.
 
Trust me we spent over a half hour driving in circles and Sherry was very patient with me as I had her back up, turn around, make a right here, make a left here etc being we missed our turn we sort of had to find a new way to get here with no maps, no gps etc so it was like a rat maze haha.
 
We kept driving around my directions did not match up at all go figure mapquest lately just does not always give you the right directions or roads change. After awhile we came on out to 17 we took this dirt driveway behind a gas station thought that was it cause the sign said turn left so we thought it meant there.
 
It was funny cause Sherry was like umm if this is Spook Hill we got some problems I was like yeah if this is Spook Hill I don't think Ill be adding it to the website haha.
 
Then we made a turn earlier passed right by it but we missed it because you see this is a one way street because a lot of people technically put the car in neutral and let it roll on back.
 
Eventually we found the right road there was the elementary school its called Spook Hill and yes their mascot is a ghost that looks like Casper. You bet we took photos here it was fun.
 
Then we came around the corner read the historical sign on the road about this hill. It talked about an Indian chief...an army trail...and the hill itself. I guess the chief is buried along the road where the ridge goes along it. But there is a lot of history to the hill of course the school...and residential homes take away the eeriness of it all.
 
Sherry put her truck into neutral and it started to roll back. I was laughing so freaking hard I almost fell on the ground. Even Sherry noticed she was like thinking WTF cause its obvious that if your on a hill put your vehicle in neutral its going to roll back. So I was laughing thinking to myself man we go all this ways to watch a vehicle roll back.
 
It was obvious that if you carefully studied the road you could see that it slightly went downhill before it leveled off hence why when you put it in neutral the car rolls back. Its not magnetic...its not magical...there are no paranormal forces at work its just simple gravity and physics. Each year thousands travel to do this and honestly do not bother however my intent was to do more then that so hence why we visited this area was to uncover its ghost.
 
Unfortunately my EMF was not working and since I lost my recorder I could not get any EVP. Jim and Tammy were not on this investigation and this is what I meant about people leaving early. I needed them to help me here because you see a road like this generally means not a lot of activity that is where EVP, Thermal Readings, and EMF comes in handy.
 
Based on the history its obvious that housing and the school were buried over the old army trail. The ridge and wide open area was still here as the historic sign explained so Sherry and I walked along it taking photos and feeling out for cold spots.
 
There was a one tree that was very large and old that stood out. Sherry pointed out an old ax marking on the tree. That tree was around when Spook hill was named back in the 1800's. We took some photos and left do not expect much out of this investigation but it will be on the site so others can learn about its ghost, history, and mystery to it.
 
Not to far away from this place was also a house that was on unsolved mysteries I did not have an address but the guy at the gas station was telling my team about it while I was taking a leak. So I did not get to ask him more about the house.
 
Spook Hill was a lot of fun though I mean it was a nice area....it was not a lot of walking so I got all my energy back. I mean its very rare to even see a hill this size in FL one of the reasons I am moving out West is cause I like hills I love terrain. I love mountains and woods. It seems that at one point this area before it was developed probably was pretty spooky but today nahhhh city life has consumed it thus making it a more challenging investigation.
 
We then moved onto Lake Wales Garden Cemetery which is one of the largest cemeteries in all of Polk County Florida.

This was taken along the ridge that borders the road. Also the area where once a small lake stood and the as the story goes the chief was buried here. Is this his ghostly face watching us from afar?
