When you get to a certain area, you can put your car in neutral, and it’ll start rolling… up hill! Many paranormal investigators have tried different tricks, including putting baby powder on the back of their cars and trunks, to see if they can catch WHAT is pushing the car!

Handprints! The baby powder shows hand prints all over the back of the car, as if someone from beyond the grave or on another heavenly plain of existence is moving your car out of the way of something terrible!

Or, the powder is picking up on all the oils and smudges of your hands after the many times you’ve closed the trunk or otherwise have touched it. All that particular scientific experiment shows is that you need to wash your car more often.
