Beskrivelse
Collected over the course of two decades in the 1990s and 2000s, these true tales of 20 of America and Canada's most famous spooklights will inform and fascinate you. Spooklights, also known as ghost lights, will o' the wisps, or fairy lights, are anomalous lights of unknown origin that hover over the ground in natural areas such as forests, bogs, and mountains. They differ from other paranormal or supernatural phenomena in that their existence is undeniable; they can be filmed and photographed, and thousands of people have seen them. The lights are tied to specific geographic locations and can often be "called" by various means, often with the use of car headlights.In this volume of the True Ghost Stories Archive, the world's oldest ghost information website, the author has gathered firsthand accounts from her own archives and combined them with objectively researched history to give fresh insight into the legend and science surrounding these intriguing ghost lights. This book will take you on a journey from the mysterious Marfa Lights dancing in the desert of West Texas to the flickering Brown Mountain Lights of North Carolina to the numerous cases of ghostly, headless train conductors at old railroad sites across North America. Are the lights the wandering spirits of the dead, or are they something as prosaic as car headlights? That is for the reader to decide.Included in this volume are the following ghost lights: Anson Lights (Anson, Texas); Bingham's Light (Dillon, South Carolina); Bragg Road/Big Thicket/Saratoga Light (Bragg, Texas); Brown Mountain Lights (North Carolina); Chapel Hill Light (Chapel Hill, Tennessee); Codgell Spooklight (Codgell, Georgia); Cohoke Light (West Point, Virginia); Crossett Light (Crossett, Arkansas); Dover Lights (Dover, Arkansas); Gurdon Ghost Light (Gurdon, Arkansas); Hansell Road (Bucks County, Pennsylvania); Hornet/Joplin/Neosho Spooklight (Missouri/Oklahoma); Maco Light (Maco, North Carolina); Marfa Lights (Marfa, Texas); Oxford Light (Oxford Township, Ohio); Paulding Light (Watersmeet, Michigan); Rich Mountain Light (Mena, Arkansas); Scugog Island Light (Port Perry, Ontario); Senath Light (Hornersville, Missouri); St. Louis Ghost Train (St. Louise, Saskatchewan).
