Going UP

The other day we discovered one of those weird oddities that you see on television sometimes. If you remember last year when we were in Oregon we visited an area believed to contain vortexes. Strange things happened while we were there that we still can't explain. So, when we heard about this one and it was only about 45 minutes from where we were, we just had to go. The story behind this location in the heart of Florida goes something like this. Years ago when the Indians inhabited many areas of Florida an Indian tribe found this great location to set up camp. It was located next to this fresh water lake that was stocked with all types of fish. Setting up camp on the hill side looking over the lake the tribe was happy with their new location. Months went by until one day a huge alligator took up residence in the very same lake. Soon, one at a time, villagers would disappear. They discovered that this alligator was coming into the camp at night and taking a victim. The chief, upon hearing of this, decided that it was time to confront this alligator. He took the blessings of the witch doctors and set off to find this alligator. After a few weeks he finally spotted this beast dragging another victim into the lake. The story goes that a huge battle ensued that took over a month. Every day the villagers would look for the chief until finally one day he emerged from the lake victorious. He had slain the great alligator. What they realized later was that during the battle the chief and alligator had formed a huge depression next to the lake that eventually filled with water. Years went by and the chief died of old age and was buried next to this smaller lake that he had formed. The legend says that the chief is still protecting this area and his power can still be felt.
Fast forward...today if you arrive next to this smaller lake and stop your car in a certain spot, your vehicle will mysteriously began to move on its own, up hill.

We stopped our car on the designated spot, put it in neutral and sure enough the car began to roll backwards up this small hill. I don't know how to explain this but we did this several times all with the same baffling results.

The chiefs powers were felt that day and I don't know how it is possible. Yet another mystery that we have been witness to without any logical explanation.
