Long before what is now Oklahoma became a state, wildlife roamed freely across its hills and plains. Among those animals seen by explorers, traders and early inhabitants were mountain lions, usually stalking deer and other prey. Researchers said those predators were seen less as settlements formed.

Gravity Hill, located south of Bartlesville on Gap Road at the Matoaka Switch, has been a source of local lore and mystique for decades now. According to the locals, the hill in question is unique because it defies the laws of gravity. If you park your car facing downhill and put it in neutral, you’ll be surprised as your car starts rolling backward, which is uphill.
Ghost-hunting in your jammies will be led by The Ghost Divas on August 15, 2009, at the old Johnson House in Hugo, OK.. See the video invitation.

Tonya Hacker has heard voices. She has seen the image of a little boy appear in an abandoned hotel. “I’m a ghost hunter,” the Oklahoma City woman says. “I am not a crazy ghost hunter.” Bryan Farha is wide open to something like that — meeting a being from another planet, or even just an earthling with real paranormal abilities.
