Spook Hill is located on Newell Road, which is a dirt road found east of Canandaigua Lake in Middlesex. This area has spectacular hills and views.
Cars and bicycles seem to be rolling up hill backwards. Face your car south on Newell Road, put your car in neutral at the posted coords and see for yourself if a supernatural force is at work. Be sure to stay in your car!
What you experience here is simply an optical illusion. The illusion is created by the contrast of the near level Spook Hill after a very steep climb.
