The Spook Hill Motel, named after a gravity hill in Lake Wales, Florida, sported the cutest casper knock-off to catch the attention of passing tourists. It opened in the 1960’s and although the sign is long gone, the defunct motel still stands. It offered a swimming pool, color television, air conditioning and kitchenette efficiencies. The pool has since been converted into a sitting area / gazebo, as seen in the last screen shot.
I love the over-the-top description of the gravity hill off the back of a retro Spook Hill postcard - "A few blocks from the heart of Lake Wales is that mystifying and fascinating phenomenon Spook Hill. Here playful ghosts apparently seize your car and in defiance of the laws of gravity and your previous experience in such matters, roll your vehicle gently backward uphill, while they chortle in unholy glee at your mystification"
