Another Investigation is underway.....


It is always exciting to gear up for a investigation. Just the other day, we received a report from a nearby resident in a neighboring county of a possible hotspot. Naturally, we are all very interested in investigating.

The history of this location is without a doubt, fascinating! This area has seen its fair share of tragedy. Burned and flooded in 1916 and then flooded again some 24 years later. These events were enough to push the residents of this location to the point of departure.

Our investigation starts with hours and I will update with any interesting activity.

Gravity Hill Investigation....

Sadly our investigation of the Gravity Hill claims could not be documented.

Mainly due to the fact we couldn't find it. Our trip began one lovely evening on July 12th. A Ford Explorer filled with 4 worthy investigators ventured off to find the unknown. After driving around for hours and hours in the known vicinity of a Gravity Hill (there are many sited in NC, not to mention the ones known around the world) located just out side of Sparta North Carolina, our investigation ended before it even started.

We followed the directions given to us by those who have ventured to this location and even turned to the directions found on the internet....with no luck. We couldn't pinpoint the exact location......Or at least, we didn't think so!

The next day after our all night ride we conversed with our knowledgeable friends and it turns out, we actually had driven right over the Gravity Hill and didn't even know it. At the time, we knew we were close but without pinpoint directions we didn't know better.

The Gravity Hill just outside of Sparta is located on a very measly looking dirt road that is surrounded by homes. Now that we know where it is....exactly....we may return in the future.

As always, we would love to hear your thoughts and if you have any suggestions, please let us know!
