Spook Hill is a gravity hill (an optical illusion where cars appear to roll uphill) in Lake Wales, Florida.

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.
