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.

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.

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.
