Located in Alaska's largest and most populated city of Anchorage is a very intriguing yet incredibly strange area where the road literally appears to be able to pull vehicles from the bottom of a hill up to the top. This area is known as "gravity hill" and it is located off Upper Huffman Road on the south side of town. To get here you take the O'Malley exit off the Seward Highway and drive almost all the way to the top. Just before you reach the top, turn right onto Hillside Drive and drive about a mile down the road until you'll take a left on Upper Huffman Road.

Drive over the top of the first hill and continue all the way to the bottom before you've reached your marked location. This is the spot where all the magic happens. Even in the dead of winter this road is said to pull vehicles at a speed of up to 12 mph on the snow and ice. Pretty phenomenal if you ask us!

Although some believe that ghosts and/or a spiritual presence is the real reason behind this super bizarre phenomenon.
