Saw something about that in a 70's episode of "That's Incredible!" when I was a kid.

We've got the Haunted Train Tracks (http://paranormal.about.com/library/weekly/aa031201a.htm) here in San Antonio, where you stop your car, put it in neutral, the ghosts of the children killed when a school bus stalled on the crossing and was hit by a train push your car uphill and over the tracks! And if you sprinkle baby powder on the back of your car afterward, you can see the handprints of the children! It's even been mentioned in Snopes (http://www.snopes.com/horrors/ghosts/handprint.asp)!
While looking for a video of this, I found one where someone actually did it in a Yaris (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocNbG4NshXY)!

there are some places where trees will grow at strange angles.. i think it has to do with something gravity .. when i was little we were on a road like that .. it looked like we needed to go uphill but when the car was off we were sliding "uphill"

We have one of those in central Pennsylvania. It's an optical illusion.
