Spook Hill in Burkittsville, Maryland, is a location on Gapland Road where a car in neutral appears to roll backward uphill, a phenomenon attributed to the ghosts of Civil War soldiers who, legend has it, pushed artillery up the hill and now continue their ghostly work by pushing vehicles. The hill's association with the American Civil War and the surrounding area's history of battles makes it a popular destination for "legend tripping" and ghost stories. The legend says that Confederate soldiers are the spirits responsible for pushing the vehicles, continuing their efforts in the afterlife. Burkittsville was a significant site during the Civil War, with major battles occurring in the area, providing a basis for these haunting legends.
