Spook Hill's Haunting Legend

Tuesday September 30, 2008
Spook HillThis time of year, when ghosts and goblins are on our minds, I thought it would be fun to visit an old "haunt" of mine. When I was a kid, and long before Central Florida invited the mouse and whale to come play, the Legend of Spook Hill drew thousands to the hills of Lake Wales. Whether it is the work of Indian spirits as some believe or simply a gravity-defying phenomenon, its story is bound to intrigue. Surprisingly, Spook Hill still exists... even though progress is trying to crowd out the spirits.
