Gap Road
During the Tulsa Race Riots, many African Americans were hanged here. It is said that if one takes his car to this road and put its in neutral, it will climb the hill. It is said that the people hanged during the riots are the force pushing the car.
I grew up in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Yes strange things happen on Gap Road. Its a popular make out road for teenagers. But the kids parking on Gap Road get really worried about staying to long. I had not heard about the Tulsa Race Riot blacks being brought their. Try Collinsville, Oklahoma.
I’m at this sight researching for a movie.

My girlfriend was born and raised in Bartlesville, and she can tell u why the smart kids don’t stay long on Gap Road. She doesn’t talk about it much, but I managed to get some of the story out of her before she freaked out. It was something about a disfigured humanoid “thing” with burning red eyes that comes racing out of the woods toward you. Maybe I shouldn’t have pushed her for the story cause now she says she has horrifying dreams and she kicks me in her sleep. So careful what u dig for, u might get kicked.

i think this story is getting confused with the midget mountain tale in san antonio where a bus load of kids were killed trying to cross the tracks and now if you park your vehicle on the tracks and put powder on your bumper then put the vrhicle in nuetral it will suddenly move forward up a hill and stop once it has passed the dangerous part of the track. and if you look at your bumper you will see child size finger prints on the bumper. i know this because i use to live in san antonio and have done this neat little trick and i have seen the prints on my bumper.so i suggest you should do better research before prinying or making assumptions.

I lived in Bartlesville for awhile and lived in the area my whole life. Mom still lives over there so we are always over there. The road is way cool. I have heard of the hangings before as well. I’ve never heard of any glowing eye stories. HA! That is silly. But your car will go up the hill! You sit at the bottom of the hill, put the car in neutral and sit for maybe 1 second and it starts to roll, and a very steady roll, at that! =) It’s fun. I took some digi photos last time we were all there (mom, family and friend piled into the car) as the car was rolling. I had gotten out of the car and snapped the event. I captured orbs around the car…and as you know, orbs are ghosts.

Just returned from Bartlesville and this phenomena is intriguing.
The car will roll BOTH ways across the bridge, but only when facing forwards !!!
The common mistake and as directed in hauntings guides, is to start the car at the down facing turnaround at the ‘Y’ in the road, thus giving somewhat of a ‘run up’ across the rail tracks. But the effects are best when the car is put in neutral between the rail tracks and the bridge, on apparently upward facing road.
The car will move off and clear the bridge, continuing to roll some way, sedately.
Turn the car round and approach the rise of the bridge, stopping a few metres before it. Again the car will roll over it. This is the opposite way of course.
Placing the car backwards results in no movement!
We tried pouring coke on the rail track side and this ran downward..as expected from the look of the road !
Bartleville appears to be more than an optical illusion..magetic ground properties? or something else besides?

I currently am a high school student in Bartlesville and I think I know what hill your talking about. We call it Gravity Hill (if it’s the right one). Ian stated that you got it confused with a moutain in San Antonio. The thing is, it’s a ghost story so every state probably has their own version of it. I have been to the hill and considering I dont believe in ghosts, I still found it way creepy whent the car started to roll. Like most people who have posted, I have also never heard that hangings took place there, I heard it was a school bus full of kids who got hit by a train (sound familiar:). I have lived in Bartlesville for the past 15 years and think it is funny how ghost stories have diffrent explantions of the phenomenon that occurs at the bridge. If you are very interested in Ghost Stories you should find out about crybabybridge, the lavity (spelling?) house and cat man bridge.

Comment by jchsv | 04.12.2006 | 1:00 pm
Their is also a hill in Springer, Oklahoma that is called haunted hill or gravity hill. It’s the same thing, you put your car in neutral in this one spot and it starts rolling backward up a hill. It moves at a fairly fast speed. We put a coke can in the same spot and it started rolling up the hill as well. The story behind this spot had something to do with a lady whose daughter died there and now she pushes you car away. I guess she doesn’t like coke either.

i live in claremore ok and crybaby bridge is a few miles away. story goes a baby was thrown off the bridge and killed. its on old hwy 88 between oologah and claremore. there is a new bridge there now but the old bridge still stands (10 feet away) bc it is a “historical landmark”. i went lookin for “gravity hill” tonight and couldnt find it. i was told it was on some road but never found the road. i did see “gap road” but that was before i read this, ill have to try that road!
Comment by drew | 05.28.2006 | 5:31 am
There are about 500 of these hills all over the country. They are often refered to as “gravity hills.” It has something to do with the gravity and rotation of the earth. Red Cypret, what you girlfriend is talking about is known as a Chupakabra. No one knows what they really are, but they are some kind of evil creature. I don’t know if they can harm you though. Shanique, this web site is not to post your opinions on different races of people. It is to post information and opinions on they ideas mentionedin the story.
Comment by Destiny | 06.7.2006 | 8:55 pm
There is a “gravity hill” in Bledsoe County. Tennessee and also another one in Lake Wales, Florida. Destiny is right though,there not haunted.It’s got todo with gravity and the rotation of earth on its axis.

Hi, we just came back from a visit to Springer, OK. visiting relatives that only live a mile from what they call “Ghost Hill”. We didn’t really believe it at first, but seen first hand that this is actually for “Real”. We put our car in neutral and it started moving immediatly, going backwards uphill at 25 miles an hour. I can say, we are true believer’s of whatever this is, as we seen it for ourselve’s. I’m real curious about what happened there, and would like more info. if anyone knows the story? My Husband and brother-in-law put cinnamon on the car, since we have a white SUV we needed something that would show up. And sure enough there were 2-different hand prints as plain as day on my vehicle….which absolutely blew us away. I took photo’s of them, and my husband took photo’s of the car to see if there was anything that might show up on film. But for sure these hand prints were not ours, one very long fingered print on the front side, and one small child’s print on the driver’s side of the car. Anyone else interested or knows more about this, I would be happy to visit with you about this! My curiosity is going wild! lol

I have lived around gap road most of my life and that has been a long time. I had heard it was because some blacks had been hung there. At the time it was called the n word gap road, so the story very much could have been true.
Comment by Janis | 08.26.2006 | 10:04 am
I use to live in Sayre, Oklahoma. I have heard of crybabybridge but only happen upon it when driving around. Also if you pass that bridge and keep going further I know of a well type of building out between two cow pastures owned by a man named Matt where I heard they use to hang black people there. I heard it was hauted but was too young to even try since my family is full of cowards. The story I know of crybabybridge is a lady drowned her son in a creek that runs there and ever since then at midnight you can put baby powder on the bridge and see bloody baby foot prints.
Comment by Jessica | 08.26.2006 | 9:03 pm
Now that I start thinking about it, I also heard of a sunken cemetary close to that area. I saw it but heard not to be there late at night. My sisters are scardy cats and just like to tell me when we passed but would never let me look. Have any of you heard of it?
Comment by Jessica | 08.26.2006 | 9:05 pm
I parked there just to see what would happen, and sure enough, the car started moving. It was spooks alright, tryin ta’ steals my hooptie ride. Same kind of spooks I see everyday round Greenville, Archer, & Pine.

Comment by Demarcus | 09.14.2006 | 9:37 pm
I heard of the cemematary my mom was just burried there in june 2006. she was just sucked right in to the groung reminded me of a vaccum.she was spit back out of the ground though guess the ghost didn’t want her either. her coffin the burst in to flames I was ammazed I think I’ll be burried there too. Im gonna price some plots any one want me to get a price for them. I also heard that if ur lucky enough to stay in the ground u can be dug up and brought back to life exactly 1 year after your burried there.
Comment by kathy | 09.22.2006 | 9:22 am
Has no one ever thought to take a level out there and see if it REALLY is an incline and not just an optical illusion? And before anyone responds with: “I can tell from looking at it that it’s not an optical illusion!” I suggest you think about what you’re saying.
Anyone want to take a level out there, give it a try and post the results?

Comment by Tim | 09.22.2006 | 1:55 pm
Alright. Gravity Hills exist everywhere. The one I went to was in Alma, AR. Where you’re supposed to put your car in nuetral is actually between two hills. Your car does move but only because you are still technically rolling down the bigger of the two hills, caused by gravity. My friend took me there and i laughed so hard.
My cousin told me about cry baby bridge when i was very little. The way I heard it is if you are standing on the bridge or are parked on the bridge you can hear a baby crying.
Comment by sandy | 09.22.2006 | 6:45 pm
I have two questions actually, one is can anyone actually give directions to this Gap road? I’d really like to try it out sometime and see what happens for myself. and secondly, has anyone ever heard of the no-name cemetary in the woods near Marietta. Its in the middle of the woods near the Red River, one side is Texas the other is Oklahom. Every grave there has the last name love. I looked up the family history and even got a copy of the geneology…the thing is, the names listed on the graves are no where on the family tree! and every one of them died between the years 1904 to 1908. If anyone has any information about this please email me at Lady_of_the_force@hotmail.com!
Comment by Brandy_Rose | 09.30.2006 | 4:42 am
My husband had actually been to Gap Road in Bartlesville with some of his buddy’s…….. He was raised there, He said it is true what is said about it, He once wanted to take me there, when we first met, I kind atold him F***K Y*U!!!!!!!!!! He did take me to Bardo Lake { I think that is how you spell it} Talking about some freaky stuff…….Try going out there at midnight and having you boyfriend tell you the story about a so called ” Hook Man” NOW, I remember rolling up all my windows, crying begging him to take me out of there !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment by Elesa | 09.30.2006 | 10:38 pm
I have actually witnessed the “Gap Road” it really does work, but so does coke bottles, too. I suggest the next person that goes out there SHOULD bring a level and put powder on the bumper, then we can put this thing to rest. The directions to get there are quite confusing, make sure you know as much about the directions as possible so you dont waste 30 minutes trying to find the dang place.

I live about 3 miles from gravity hill. The “ghost story” I’ve always been told about from people in the area is that it’s the ghosts of black slaves that have been hanged up there that push your car. Anyways, gravity hill really does work. You just have to be at the right location. For those asking about directions - it’s located south of Bartlesville on highway 75; you take county road 2400 to the west; you keep heading west until the road doesn’t go west anymore(it then starts going south); turn around at this curve and face your car east; put your car in neutral and you start rolling uphill. I’ve done it many times, and it’s worked every time.
About the red-eyed creature - I’ve seen it once and a friend of mine has seen it once also; I know of a few other people that have seen it. This aspect of gap road is not as well known as gravity hill.
About Cry Baby Bridge, Labadie mansion, and Cat Man Bridge - those are very freaky places if things go the way of the stories.
Comment by Abraham | 10.5.2006 | 8:26 pm
Also, I’d like to see if the finger prints in the powder still occur if someone cleans their bumper really well with glass cleaner, to remove any old fingerprints and residual oil from peoples hands, BEFORE applying the powder to the bumper.
I expect that if I put powder on the bumper of my car as it sits in my garage, then put a fan on it to blow it off, my own finger prints would be revealed from the last time I opened my trunk or for some other reason touched my bumper.
I’m as fascinated by ghosts, spirits, and the unknown as anyone. But some of this stuff is just stupid. To immediately assume that an ‘orb’ that appears in a photograph is undeniable proof that a ghost is present, is so completely off the charts stupid, it irritates me. What ever happened to the good, spooky ghostly apparitions?
These days, any type of lense flare, reflection, light bouncing off of some dust, or other anomaly in a picture is suddenly undeniable evidence that there is a ghost or spirit lurking. I don’t think I’ve ever taken a photograph at night and NOT had an ‘orb’ in it. Sorry, I got on a tear there. It just irritates me the way tv shows and websites blow this out of proportion. Its like they’re digging for ‘proof’ where it doesn’t exist. I get all built up watching these ‘ghost hunter’ tv shows, and in end, all you get is a psychic claiming there’s a pissed off spirit somewhere, and then as proof, you get a picture of an ‘orb’.
Sorry, I’ll get off my soap box now.

Comment by Paula | 10.13.2006 | 2:43 pm
Gravity Hill is for real! I lived in B’Vill for 8 years and it wasn’t until the last year I lived there, Oct. 2004 until I ever got enough “guts” to go out there. I rode out there with my fiance’ and his friends who have lived there all their lives. I wanted someone that I knew wouldn’t be “messin’” with me to drive, so I had one of my girlfriends drive. And I’ll be damned, when we got to the point on Gap road where “gravity hill is” the car really started rolling! It freaked me out! So I had to do it myself to make sure this was for real. It’s for real people, but it’s an illusion! You are really going down the hill when you think you are going up!
Comment by Nancy | 10.14.2006 | 12:28 pm
I have never been to any of these places but if your looking for proof there is ghostly apparations please visit pucketts wrecker service in oklahoma city or just look it up on the web .There is a post on kfor news 4 with photos and video of a woman who was killed a few weeks before there survalliance camera caught the video, this was aired on tv and many ghost hunters tried to prove it was not true , they could not. The story gives you goose bumps the video will change a skeptics mind go see ..the Proof..as she wanders the wrecker yard looking for her vehicle they moved just hours before the video caught the ghostly figure.
Comment by becca | 10.17.2006 | 3:06 pm
Im from Norman, OK. Ive have been to the road, and it actually happens. I never knew the story behind or why it happened. I just happened to be looking up haunted stuff being thats its around Halloween and all, and i found this. No joke, my buddies truck rolled up hill in neutral about 30 feet, then whatever was doing it stopeed and we started rolling backwards…creepy stuff. Now that i know it is the deads ghosts of hung people…its way scarier. I thought it was something that had nothing to do with ghosts.
Comment by Steve-o | 10.17.2006 | 8:26 pm
I live in Bartlesville. Gap road is where the white man used to hang black people on that road so when the other black people had to walk down that road to get to where they had to go (work, friends )ect.. there would be black people hanging to show as examples on what the white man could do to the black people and for the person who left the comment about I hate black people be careful because you never know who is reading this and the black people might hate you too. BE IGNORANT BY YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!
Now that out of the way.Where the car goes up the hill is Gravity Hill they say that it has to do with the earth’s gravitational pull at that particular spot but, gravity hill and gap road meet at a corner. it is true I have done it myself I have got to the corner before the bridge and put the car in nutral and folded my feet so that i’m not touching the gas petal and the car has moved and picked up pace to about 25 miles per hour up the hill and over the bridge then it stoped. but people say it is because of the ghost but then other say because of gravitational pull at that one particular spot.
Comment by gemini | 10.18.2006 | 3:17 pm
Directions: Coming north from Tulsa turn left at the American Christian School. Follow that road past the bridge and follow the firrst “Y” in the road to the right and then at the second “Y” follow to the right again till you reach`a ninety degree left turn and turn your car around and pull off to the right hand curb and pull up to the white pole off in the trees on the right side and put your car in nuetral the whole ride may be 1/2 mile long.
Legend: back in the day `white people used to carry some slaves on top of the coach to help push it out of deep muddy spots one time the coach got stuck on the tracks and the tracks made the problem worse with a train coming down the tracks they we’re struck and killed its the ghosts of this coach that make sure it doesnt happen again its said that if you look down the tracks as you pass by you can see the slaves in white shirts walking in the woods making sure you make it over safe. NOT MAKING IT OVER THE TRACKS AND ON THE BRIDGE IS CONSIDERED VERY BAD LUCK!
Fact:the ground is a optical illusion. Scientists have checked levelness on the ground and it is sloping downward just coming around the curve before makes it only appear to have a slope. but most everytime you will make it all the way back to the bridge my personal top speed is 30 and made it about 30 yrds from the stop sign. the illusion of the slaves in white shirts is just some poles by the tracks down the way

There was a place in Missouri (roadside tourist trap) where they have water going uphill and not being on any booze or other types of mood enhancers the water seemed to be really going uphill. This was on the way to Silver Dollar City back in the 1970’s. has anybody checked to see if water will run the uphill direction?

I live in Tulsa Oklahoma. And have for several years. I know of a place in Broken Arrow Oklahoma (for those of you who are local its east of county line on 121st) There used to be this old barn out there. It was an old place. You can go out there and see eyes looking out of it and its abandoned. I think that the barn has collapsed in on its self now. Just turn off all the noise, put your air vents on inside air and take your foot off the gas and put the car in neutral. The road is gravel/dirt so you will have dust. Something pushes you past the barn and you roll to a stop a few feet away. I did some research a few years back and the area was a prime location for the KKK. Its creepy.
I also know of a place that is extremely creepy. Its out near the Broken Arrow Senior High. That whole area is a prime place to go and have a good scare.

I grew up in Bville. I remember lots of local legends. Gravity Hill, Labadie House, etc. There are a couple of others that I remember, and I want to see if anyone else has heard of them.
There was a place called “House on Stilts.” It was supposedly up in the Copan area, not too far from Labadie House. The legend had something to do with an abandoned house on stilts in the woods inhabited by a crazy Indian.
The other place was called “Indian Graveyard.” I believe it was also in the Copan area but I don’t know for sure. I just remember spooky tales of paranormal activity there. Does anyone remember these places? I am planning a trip soon to re-discover these legends.
Comment by Idolslave | 11.26.2006 | 4:36 pm
There is a mark on the road if you travel to the west far enough, where you are actually suppose to start. I have been a native of Bartlesville for 30 years. I live about 1.5 miles from Gravity Hill and the story of the hanging tree on Gap road is true. I have also heard the story of the baby powder on the truck lid of the car, but who in their right mind has the wits to get out of the car to try it. The story that was used while I attended BHS, was that if your car made it accross the tracks while doing gravity hill, that you would die.

i lived there and did gravity hill numerous times. one of the times a guy w/ us rolled his window down and started yelling “push nig*** push” and the car started going even faster. another time my car was fielthy dirty and my ex and his sister use to “see” ghosts. They both freaked out b/c they “saw” a body hanging from a tree. we booked it out of there and at the gas station the trunk and sides of my car hand handprints everywhere.

Gravity Hill IS going towards wolaroc, i’ve lived in bartlesville area all my life…you go west towards wolaroc and go south (the road after the circle mountain turn off) It is gap road, but it’s a ways away from gap legend hangings..(which are true).

I have lived in Bartlesville since I was about 11 years old im not 20. Ive tried the gap road and baby powder on the back of the car. The car in neutral is an illusion the road is really not up hill the way the surroundings are the road looks as though its down hill, there for when your car is in neutral its really pacing itself downhill. The powder is not from the ghosts pushing you its from the oil on yours and others hands touching your car and powder interacts withe the powder bringing up any prints. Causing you to think that ghosts or whatnot have pushed your car. But the whole story is still fun to tell and do.

The Gap road is true. I have lived in B-ville for over 20 yrs. My dad who has lived here his whole life, trust me it’s a very long time. The story is, is that there was a big problam with racisam(sp) That there where hangings of two black men. In the early 1900’s they were ground keepers for an old school out that way, and some, which is said to say, didn’t like the fact that there were blacks keeping so close to there childern. So they were tortured,beat and then hung. Some childern who knew these men were very sad. Because the men were only there to help keep the children safe. So that is why you will feel a helpful push across the RRtrax and up the hill to keep you out of harms way.

Hello guys, i notice your talking about crybaby bridge.
Last night my friends And I went out there to explore and have fun. We didn’t make the 1/4 mile trek to labadie house because we didn’t feel like getting shot.
So we went there nothing happened. we yelled the famous saying “I have your baby!!!”. nothing we went under the bridge. It was pretty boring. until we left, i’m warning you all don’t pull over if a truck pulls behind you and starts flashing his brights out there.
this happened to us last night. we were eaving and a truck pulled behind our second car it started tailgating them and flashing brights on and off so they started speeding and got up to about 87 and passed us and as soon as we hit copan lake bridge the truck stopped, and turned around and went back to where there were sitting and turned off there lights freaky. don’t let them pull you over.

I went to gravity hill in b.ville, we went across it twice and the second time we heard the train whistle. there was no train. we sat and waited for it but we never saw it.

I lived on “n” gap road from 1972 to 1977. I’m not familiar with the phenomena mentioned here; the stories about the hangings are apparently true. I do remember one night my next door neighbor and his new bride heard eerie moaning sounds coming from somewhere in their house. They couldn’t find any logical source of the sounds and became so frightened they went in to Bartlesville and spent the rest of the night at her mothers house.
He was a very macho young man; a fearless bull rider, so it must have been very frightening indeed for him to cut and run like that.

this reminds me of a story i heard a long time ago.. but the story is a little different. in the story i heard, a school bus stalled on some rail road tracks and the driver and some (or all) of the kids were killed. legeng has it that if you put your car in neutral, the spirits of the kids and bus driver push your car over the tracks. Some say the spirit of the bus driver feels guilty for not saving the lives of the children, so he feels the need to save other lives b/c he couldnt save theirs.. and supposedly you can see their handprints on your vehicle.. has anyone heard this version before?

Its is amazing who first came up with the idea to go driving around and park their car in different places to see if it would roll backwards. They must have alot of time on there hands. But I guess im just hating cause I dont believe it. I also think its funny that everyone else goes and does the same thing just cause they say it happens. I guess that saying is true: “Monkey see, Monkey do!” Im out!

I saw the red-eyed creature when I was a kid east of Lexington, Okla. And a bunch of my friends saw it too. It scared the hell out of us. They call it ‘Dead-man’s Curve’. It’s not so funny when it happens to you.

This is for the person wondering about spooklight it appears like you said between 10 and midnight i live about 8 miles from it. but i been out there atleast 10 times and seen it only twice once was a light as big as a basketball the other time it was size of golfball but i heard of two spooklight locations one is just down the road from the famous haufman mansion which people say the walls bleed heard screams inside the house and they were in the street shadows of boys appearing and disappearing a mysterious fog over the cemetery the wind blows around the area and it could be around 70 degrees and it would all of a sudden get chilly the thing really strange is the pool outside would turn to blood color and people used white flashlights to check to see if it was a light from a steet light 40 yards away but it was blood red real spooky, the mansion has since burned down but the cemetery remains and it is still a popular place for locals.

I just got off the phone with my friend that lives in Bartlesville, OK. She said that cry baby bridge and gravity hill are nearly neat places. Her dad took her there when she was young. She did say that gap road has a interesting history and that alot of bad things happened there. I asked her if she would take me there when I go up there this summer and she said that she would then she asked if I had heard anything about the cement factory?! I had she said I need to look it up. If anyone knows anything about this please post! thanks

The comments about the Gap Road legend being confused with the Midget Mountain story in San Antonio..The Gap Road legend has been around longer than the Midget Mountain . So explain how it could be confused with the other? I heard my Granny talk about it and this was in the 1940’s that she was referring to ..it was a make out spot even back then!

I went to Pitt Road (gravity hill) when I was in high school (a long time ago). I was completely freaked out and took my parents back the next day and it still worked. At the bottom of the hill the road T’s if you turn right (you can’t turn left as it’s a dead end) there is an old one room rock house set back in the woods on the north side of the road. The story I was told is a witch use to live there, she killed several of the neighborhood children. She was killed by an angry mob, if you put powder on your bumper the prints that show up are hers. She is still trying to keep people away from her house. I know 10 yrs ago the house was there, we walked out there and through the woods behind but were too freaked to get to far!
