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 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.

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?

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.

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?

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.

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!

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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 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.”"
it’s not midget mountain lol we don’t have mountains in san antonio. it’s midge mansion! lol

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
