The famous gravity-hill optical illusion on the Lake Wales Ridge.
At Spook Hill, cars left in neutral appear to roll uphill. The effect is an optical illusion created by the slope of the surrounding ridge, and the spot has drawn curious visitors for generations.
Local legend ties the hill to a Seminole chief and a giant alligator; the city marks the site with a sign telling the story. It is one of Lake Wales' best-known roadside attractions.
