Gravity Hill in Alma Arkansas

"Gravity Hill" as it is so called by the natives, seems to defy gravity. Supposedly, if you shut off your car on the hill and put it in neutral, your car will start to roll uphill by itself. Many bored teenagers have often gone here on slow nights. Some insist this location is haunted. Although no real logical reason has been documented.

The Alamo family cult grew to local prominence in the 1970s and 1980s. Followers of the cult gave all their possessions to a man named Tony Alamo and lived on his premises. Since he fled the area and was eventually imprisoned for tax evasion, the cult has severely declined in numbers and influence, but still maintains a compound in the hills near Dyer. However, no longer a base camp for the cult but simply an updated series of apartments and duplexes.
