The Ghostly Paulding Light

The Paulding lights are an easy one to figure out if you have a map... There was a section of highway re-routed, and the clearing you are looking at the lights through is the old route the highway took... What you are seeing is car headlights traveling on the portion of highway that was not rerouted. The reason they change color is atmospheric refraction. The reason they happen every night around dark is because, well... They are car headlights. If you don't believe me, go there with a map and a pair of high power binoculars.

Hi 4u_allie!
Bellisima said: There is actually a sign showing the area and it says the light is the ghost of a brakeman who was killed there and now waves his lantern as a warning.

That is what I read too, but who knows...
Hope you find out what it really was.:)

Hi 4u_allie. I just did a little look for the Paulding Light and I found a sight that claimed to have proven the light to be reflections of head and tail lights on a highway behind the area. But it goes on to say that the 'Lights' people are seeing today are not the original 'Lights', which haven't been seen for 3 years. It then says 'The Investigation Continues' What I gather from that is that something odd and worth investigation happened there. There is actually a sign showing the area and it says the light is the ghost of a brakeman who was killed there and now waves his lantern as a warning. I got this from 'unexplained research' unexplainedresearch.com/files_anomalies/paulding_light.html

Hi I thought it might be a tangle of systemic atmosphoric refraction and a few secondary contributors (maybe energy and seismic intensity)
What do you think it is?

Does anybody have any idea of what the Paulding Light could be? Perhaps it's a Phantom Light?
PEACE,
Alex. ❤

Thanks commenting! Athena, I don't know about Alaska 😊 KimSouthO, I would like to know what you found out. 😉

PEACE,
Alex

Thanks for sharing a little of your family outing, I don't think I will ever tire of mysteries... I guess conjecture rules the lights huh! Have you considered conjecture/explanations that seem to make sense to what you saw? If so, I hope you respond with it and why you think the light is over and above the normal. Here's my rambling- wild conjecture, the northern lights are seen from the same area right? Why couldn't this light, in large part, be due to atmospheric refraction? Now, here's why the mystery remains fresh for me. Even if it is atmospheric refraction why isn't it happening in multitude in the area? Why wouldn't there be dozens of these lights in that one area if it was as straightforward as At Ref and seismic activity? And why doesn't it happen with more frequency in areas with similar conditions... Alaska also has seismic activity and atmospheric refraction. The northern lights are over both Alaska and Paulding...
Okay, I've paid my dues, now I get to do far-fetched conjecture 😆. Ghosts/beings/souls often choose the path of least resistance when making contact. For example, they might choose to contact you in a dream because it's easier and requires less energy than making a full-blown apparition to you in the afternoon. I don't know anything about the Paulding lights of course, and it may just be natural phenomena. 😳

Thank you for sharing your stroy with us.

I had never heard of the Paulding Light until reading your story. I became very curious and looked it up on the net.

Apparently there are several stories on this light(s) and what could be causing them.
This is very interesting.

God Bless!

With out doing an actual full investigation into this Paulding light I don't think anyone can give you a direct answer to your questions. That is unless someone here lives in the area and already has performed one. I would love to hear the results. Thanks for sharing your story with us.

Peace, Love, and Luck be with you.
