Gravity Hill - Ghost Children

I thought you might be interested in our little "Ghost Hill". Though it is not nearly as "big" as the Oregon Vortex or Mystery Spot, it really is quite interesting. "Ghost Hill" is located in Lewisberry, Pennsylvania. We have gone there many times but it is not a "tourist attraction", in fact it seems to be little known. The story is that a bus full of children went over the cliff and died. Now when a car goes to the stop sign and shifts into neutral, the "ghost children" push the car back up the hill so that the car will not suffer the same fate.
