Very cool story.  I'm familiar with the area from my time spent in Scotland when I was in the US Navy.  Thanks for sharing that.

My mom was born in New Brunswick before moving to Toronto, but my grandparents kept the family farm in NB. As a kid we would go back to the farm. One summer we visited Magnetic Hill outside of Moncton. I remember a line of cars coasting...uphill.

It certainly is odd.  And has been known for a few hundred years.  Blaming it on witches lol!  Maybe!

There is a place in Lake Wales Florida as well. It's called "Spook Hill"
