I’ve never been to Gap Road in BVille, but my crew frequents Haunted Hill in Springer! It really happens, the car rolls uphill! Once, we felt something bump the front of the car before it started rolling. And another time, the car rolled, stopped, rolled again and hit over 30 MPH! There is also a small rock house there behind the fence. We have several pictures and videos of paranormal activity at the small house, a picture of a figure sitting in the doorway and a woman that is transparent in front of the house, wearing a light blue pioneer style dress and bonnett! Hey, this place made a believer out of me! If anyone doesn’t believe it, go there! Or, better, I will e-mail you the pictures and videos we took there! I have also researched the story of that place. Back in the 1800’s, the people in that area banished a woman from their community because she was believed to be a witch. They supplied her a small rock house to live in with her 2 small children with her promise to not bother the community’s people again. It was a cold winter and her 2 children got sick and died or starved to death, leaving her alone. The children are supposed to be buried there somewhere. Nobody knows where the witch went, but, when your car rolls, it is supposed to be the witch pushing you away from the house and her children.

I was raised by te crybabybridge in Copan area. My family and I lived in the house that you can see to the west of the bridge in walking distance. I was younger so at the point I didnt know the story behind what I knew as the “cool old bridge” but when I got older and heard the story it was a little freaky knowing that I lived right next to it and played outside in the dark. Yikes…

Just taking a crack in the dark here, but Oklahoma mountains are notorious for iron, iron pyrite, and quartz. These minerals heavily affect the electromagnetic forces on earth. Couple that with a train track, more iron, and you have yourself one hell of a magnet. I find it not at all surprising that the car would roll uphill. The fingerprints on the bumper, well I guess seeing is believing, but if I did see it I would be thouroughly creeped out. I have seen several unexplained things in my life. There is a bridge that a young man jumped off of and hit a box car killing himself known as Carpenter’s Bluff on the Red River. We have seen a human shape jump off the bridge only to never see anythig enter the water. What makes it worse is that it has happened many times while I was there. I gotta lay off those drugs.

I believe j monkey might be right. Not that I don’t believe in paranormal activity, I just don’t believe there could be so many ghosts with the desire to push cars up hills. It is probably electromagnetic forces caused by metal deposits and/or caused by underground rushing water. There is a road in Scotland where everyone kept crashing their cars for no apparent reason until someone figured an underground stream was causing the magnetic force and buried about 400 lbs of copper at the site.

I’ve never heard of these stories before, so I became every interested in them when I found this site. I’ll defenetly have to go on vacation there when I get older. Now for the reason I am posting this comment. Whoever said that they hate blacks, do you hate whites too? what about Asians? and Mexicans? We’re all the f***ing same you know. The last time I checked, we had all the same organs in our bodies. The only difference is that we have our own personalities, and looks. Grow the f*** up. That goes for all of you out there that hates black people. I have never, and will probably never understand why you people think like that. Wheather you want to accept it or not, we’re all the exact same. And by the way, you were just told off my a teenager, who’s also white. Maybe everyone out there should take my example, and start treating everyone the same.

the race riot story is an urban legend….it’s not real…what it’s taken from is midget mountain in San Antonio Tx, a bus load of kids were hit by a train on the hill and if you put it in nuetral place baby pouder on the back bumper your car will move forward untill it clears the tracks, after that you get out look at the back bumper you will see tiny finger prints of the chilrdren pushing your car to safety….now I know this to be true because I have done it….now the bartelsville story I have yet to get it to work so I think what you have there is a urban legend….but if anyone has an event that they would like to see put to the test…contact me @ ianxtreme@rocketmail.com no place is to scary for me…

I am in a ghost hunting group out of Bartlesville, OK, and gravity hill on Gap Road has been checked out. As for the road, it looks like your going uphill when infact, you are travelling downhill. A Level proved it. Also, for the handprints on the back, we cleaned off the back then put baby powder on the bumper and there were no handprints on the bumper when we were done. It is actually pretty neat, though, because the car picks up speed as it travels downhill an makes it pretty far before stopping. We ended up past the bridge and almost to the stop sign before the car leveled out and came to a hault. Fun stuff, but no ghosts were pulling or pushing the car. We did capture a few orbs on the top of the hill though but some of ‘em were probably bugs. Now the cemetery up the road past gravity hill….now thats a whole ‘nother story. ;)

There is a road in Helena, MT, that if you put your car in neutral your car will go up the hill.

There is a haunted house in Bartlesville on Jennings Avenue across the street to the west of a quadplex apartment building. I experienced it myself and know the family who lived there and they experienced many sightings and occurances.

My grandmother, who was born in 1907, grew up in and around Ochelata, Oklahoma.
Before she passed away, she confirmed many stories about Gap Road.
Not only, were innocent black men brutally murdered on Gap Road, during the Tulsa race riots, but the actual tree, largely used for the majority of the hangings still stands today, and is believed to be somewhat of a haunted, “death tree”.
In the early sixties my mother and some friends went to this tree, climbed it, and found a carved, sharpened prod like spear, that one can only surmise, may have been used to stab the bodies of the murdered men.
My mom’s friends convinced her to take the spear home with her, and mom swears the stick moved at night, while she slept.
One of her male friends took the spear, at her request, and threw it into the Caney River, not far away.
I did some of my own investigating, and discovered that atop Circle Mountain, which looms over Gap Road, is the foundation of a home, that some say belonged to a group who performed black magic, and satanic worship.
The house burned down many years ago.
There is also the legend of swinging bridge, and what crept around in the dry creek bed below.
In high school, a friend’s mom, lost her arm in a horrible car crash on Gap Road.
It could all be nothing more than pure coincidence.
But I think, so many evil things have happened here, it will never leave.
Drive down this road at dusk some evening, and see if you can’t feel the hair on your neck stand up.

I use to live in Bartlsville for about 2 yrs. Had always heard the story about gap road the say there was hangings and you can see peo[ple hanging from the trees at night never saw it myself but as far as gravity hill the story i heard was a family got hit head on by a oncoming vehichle that crossed over the middle line and they all died its supose to be them pushing the car. Me and some friends actually went out there and stopped the car we even turned the car off in neutral, it actually started moving it was really cool.

i went to gap road a little over a year ago not long before my mom passed away and she begged me not to go because she said she had a bad feeling about it, my mother was 89 years old at the time but i had moved from bartlesville when i was 20 years old and that’s been years ago, i came from houstson to visit family that still lives there and i can tell you that putting your car in neutral and it moving by itself is true and it does stop by the railroad tracks just like most people say in fact after i got there and it happend i remembered what my mom said and it was scary, if nobody believes it then all they have to do is go there and find out for themselves i know i did, there is also a large house by the high school that used to be called college high but i’m not for sure what’s called now but they say that an exercisom was performed on it a few years ago but it didn’t work, can anyone tell about this thanks mary

On a happier and unrelated note, can anyone recommend a good sledding hill in Bartlesville?

There is something like this in Florida, its called spook hill. The legend is that a some Indians had a war with a giant crocidile and the indians that where killed push your car uphill. Ive been there a ton of times and it works.

Stan the Jokeman says:

LOL.
Patrick, I am so with you. Sledding. Love it! Why don’t you go to Circle Mountain, and sled Uphill!!! WOW!!!!
Second:
Tori,
Unless your thirteen, please stop getting drunk before you type things.
They were not Indians. They were Japanese.
Your, “Spook Hill” tale obviously involved an evening of pot smoking, while watching a Godzilla movie….LOL
Just having fun…..
