History & local legend
Cirelly Road near Waymart in Wayne County has a gravity-hill tradition: a vehicle appears to roll uphill when left to move freely. Local lore attributes the motion to children supposedly killed when a school bus stalled on railway tracks, now pushing other vehicles out of danger. Powder on a bumper was said to reveal their handprints.
One visitor who tried the hill with a friend reported that the car moved, but no small prints appeared. Another group brought a ball and levels and concluded the surrounding landscape had misled their sense of the slope.
