Polk County is home to lake monsters, haunted hills, meth maniacs, and Harrison the Florida Man (not sure which is scarier). Join us as we investigate the Lake Clinch Monster and drive upon a gravity hill said to be haunted by a rivaling Indian Chief and Ghost Gator!
The Lake Clinch Monster is a Nessy-like sea serpent once said to lurk beneath the dark waters of Lake Clinch in Frostproof, Florida. Though there have been no sightings in recent times, it still makes you wonder what creature or act of nature could give rise to such an urban legend.
Spook Hill in Lake Wales, FL, is a gravity hill and popular free tourist attraction adjacent to Spook Hill Elementary (with Casper the Friendly Ghost as their Mascot). A gravity hill is a natural phenomenon occurring all across the glove where the eye perceives the impression of a neutral car moving up hill. Spook Hill specifically attributes this to an Indian legend where a chief and giant alligator were locked in moral combat until both man and beast fell. Their spirits are said to haunt this very spot. Skeptical? Venture down to Polk County and try it for yourself.
