Decapitated by a passing…TRAIN? Wouldn’t that kind of…take more than his head? How do you lose your head to a train without losing anything else? Just wondering…

I live close to this light. So one night i went with my father,my two sisters, his girl friend, and her daughter. we didn’t see anything at first, but then it came toward us, a shining light. sometimes hazy, then bright, every one in the car screamed, except for me, i watced intentley, i wanted to learn. Then we went a second time, with one of dad’s other girl friends and her daughter. we did’nt see anything at first, for maybe 30 minutes to an Hour. Then as we were leaving, the light came from the oppposite direction than it normally did! my father got out of the car…i was extremeley frightened. as soon as he saw it we sped off and left. Oh, here is an answer for Julia….(more elaboration on the story) there used to be a train in that thicket, and the train got stuck one day, so the man got out to help them, he stuck his head underneath the wheel to fix the problem, by the time he stuck his head under, SLICE!, it was too late. the train had already started moving,and the rest, is history…

Nah ! its totaly for real ! I live 30 minutes from Brags road ,in Liberty TX. ive been there plenty of times. The town called Kountz TX.So the way we do it is first drive about a mile or so down the dirt road until you cant see the hwy behind you anymore, its always best to go late at night lets say around midnight, turn your headlights off your radio off and just be quiet and wait, if nothing happens creep a little ways more down the road and chill but dont turn your lights on. Ive been there numerous times with my friend because its such a rush.Most of my experiences have been that the light will seem to chase you or follow close behind and in an instant it will shoot straight for the truck , never close enough to do any harm, or it will disappear and come back, off and on. You just have to be patient with it . Yeah these are just words but the experience …….truly breathtaking and definently an adrenalin pumper. I remember every one of my encounters vividly . I highly recommend a visit to Brags road to anyone, and if anyone wants to know how to get there or even wants someone w/ experience to show them Im always more than happy to scare the hell outta someone ! eyes_2_theblind@yahoo.com

Hey man,
Me and my friend drove down to Bragg road and got there about 2:45 in the morning and we were all spooked and ready and had the video camera ready and stuff and Mike, well, he was all scared right? And me well, I was my normal ol’ ghost fighting steady and always ready self you know and anyways Mike was all freaked out and stuff and we drove down that ol’ road and it was spooky and everything but we didn’t see anything man. It was a bummer, it was all spooky and the road was muddy and slippery and I was nervous because I didn’t want to break down on no “ghost road” right? But mostly I was worried that if we had broke down that maybe some freaked out local deliverance type local yahoos woood try and butt rap us or something like that! Mike would probably give up the booty but not me man! Anyways, you just have to get to Highway 787 and 770 and turn onto 787 right outside Saratoga and in like 5 minutes you’ll come to a road and sign that reads “Ghost Road Scenic route” or some stuff like that and take a left onto it but make sure you bring someone alot braver than my friend Mike cuz him wining the whole time made me sick! Also, he was all worried about the wildman of the big thicket and stuff and bigfoot and ghosts and leprechauns, etc….. Just a real weiny!
Later,
Peace out

The Bragg light is a true occurrance. I have seen it but the story I heard is that a railroad conductor’s family was killed. When he found out he committed suicide but his ghost is still looking for his family’s killer. The light is red and white; sometimes faint a lot of times it’s bright; it came right up to the back of our car and we were scared to death.
There is also some electromagnetic thing going on with the road because it is a flat road yet we could feel our car coasting forward and backward at different times even thought the engine was off and the car was in park. Most everybody in Kountze knows how to get to the Bragg light.

Ashley says:

I’ve also been there, and that’s no swampgass OR fireflys. If you haven’t seen it then how the heck do u know? It’s actually pretty scary.

Janine says:

April 1, 2006, 3:00 pm

Silly, how silly! We have been there several times and never seen anything but a bunch of cars and drunks acting like idiots! Why doesn’t someone talk to the people that actually live on that road? I am sure there would be a lot of info from these good folks!

I grew up on braggs road. It is a really weird light that pops out while your in your car. You can see it……you start driving down this road, and there are all kinds or trees coving the road *REALLY TRIPPY*, go late at night when it’s dark, you should see the light, turn your head lights off tho…and bring a few flashlights cuz usually there is mud on “ghost road”. There have also been claims that there is a cult living out there…now I don’t know of anyhting about this, Personally, but if you search “Saratoga, Tx. - Bragg Road” You will see all kinds of people saying how they’ve been down there and seen weird people, tents, I’ve even heard of “pot farmers”, and strange U-hauls being parked off the roads down there, hrmmm ???Also, you should be able to find directions usuing that same search, And other stuff… Braggs road is the perfect place to go burn one and have a good time….bring cameras too!

Dont get stuck! this is totally for real..and NO ONE has been able to explain this phenomina….

The Saratoga-Bragg Light is located approx 7 miles northwest of Honey Island Texas on FM 1293. That is the Bragg end of the road. Turn left on Bragg Road, which is a narrow dirt road. Bragg Road is very straight and level, as it was built on the bed of railroad spur. The surrounding lands belong to timber companies, so the piney woods near the road have been cut several times. Oaks and hickory trees line the road, leaving an overhead canopy of limbs that make the nights extra dark.
I have seen the Bragg Light several times, and it is always a rush. The best way is to go on moonless nights (any night will do, but less light makes it easier to see). Park and keep quiet and stay watchful. Usually the light starts as a small blob, like a car far away, and grows to the point you can see it casting shadows in the trees by the road. I have seen it blink out suddenly, or fade away and reappear further along the road.
The road has been a special attraction for dating couples for years, cant’ imagine why! A photo of the light can be found in the October 1974 National Geographic page 528.
A family friend died on Halloween Night on the road around 1978 or ‘79. He, his wife, and a small dog went down Bragg Road for kicks and ended up getting stuck in the mud. He had an injured leg, so she left him and the pup and walked out to the highway to get help. It was a chilly night, so he left the car running. Bad idea. He and the dog both died from carbon monoxide poisoning. RIP buddy.

Ok, my name is andrew and i’m 17 and a resident of silsbee texas, 15 minutes from saratoga…i have been to bragg light 2 times and the first time never saw anything, so i figured it was bogus…the second time we went right before our graduation with a group of 11 and we saw the light as soon as we pulled onto the road and saw it 6 other times while driving down the 8 mile road. It was orange the whole way down the road and we got it on a friends camera on his phone…we had heard that you’re not suppose to film it for some reason, so after we filmed it and it showed up again it was red…i kid you not it was the scariest thing i’ve ever seen, there are a couple houses down that road but my friends have said that the people look like the people off the movie wrong turn, inbred and freaky as hell…this is no joke bragg road is a true legend, and is just a long straight dirt road that leads from 1 highway to another. I never believed the story until i seen it for myself. I have heard it was swamp gas (methane gas) and the light doesn’t just show disappear after it appears, you will see it for a couple seconds or for a couple minutes, but the light doesn’t just show go away like car lights or something, it fades out and then disappears…it really is freaky, if you have any question you can email me at trojanmanof06@yahoo.com it really is a sight to see!!

I have been down Bragg road several times and did see the light once. The light was at the far end of the road near the existing train tracks. It was very white with a light violet color emanating from the middle. It hovered near the train tracks for quite some time. The real puzzler is the cemetery located near Bragg road. As someone else was driving, I am not exactly sure of the location, but I have visited it. There is a tombstone in the cemetery which faces a different direction from the rest. I did see this tombstone located next to an old, vine-covered tree, but was pretty scared and left quickly.
I was told it was the grave of a lady thought to be a witch, thus her tombstone was placed in that direction. Can anyone else provide more insight about the cemetery story? I also heard from a friend that he was knocked unconscious while in the cemetery and his car would not start…

June 19, 2006, 7:10 pm

I live near the ghost road and I’ve been down there with my friends since I was 12. When I was younger, I saw the light come at us from behind when we were in the car. It got really close and then vanished. We looked in front of us and there it was. It scared me to death! The light may be white or sometimes red. Today, I can go and it’s scary just because you are out in the MIDDLE OF THE WOODS at night. Thet say that the light is fog gases. I believe that it’s just car lights from each end of the road. That is why they get closer and disappears because the road curves. There are many stories. Which do you believe?

Snake says:

Perhaps the man was deaf and dropped something on the tracks, and when he bent over to pick it up, the train zoomed by and took his head off! Actually, I agree with Julia. I think the train would have took more than his head. Then again, I guess that’s possible. Maybe he was sleeping with his head on the track and the train came by and squashed it.

Christina says:

August 14, 2006, 11:01 pm

Actually, the Bragg light story is true! My dad lived in Kountze for several years. We decided to drive out there one night around 11:30pm. We turned off our lights and crept slowly down the road. We didn’t see anything at first and we almost gave up. But about half way through, we saw the light. It seemed to get brighter then it would dim. Almost like a very bright candle flame. We were both really freaked out! But we still kept creeping along in the truck trying to get closer. Unfortunatly, we never could get any closer and finally toward the end of the road it disappeared. My father is a religious guy who doesn’t believe in the ghost mumbo jumbo, but still to this day he gets chills talking about it. Its definatly worth checking out!

I along with my fiancee and his grandmother went down the road one night .At first there was nothing but as we went along a light began to follow us and it would get closer then fall back.There was no explanation for this light but it happened almost the whole length of the 8 mile stretch.
It is not a joke or a story it really happened.

I went and saw the Bragg light, It’s about 30 minutes North of Beaumont. I was very doubtful, and just talking it off. Once we got to the light I would hardly get out of the car. It’s extremely creepy, and its just a faint light til u drive towards it. It blinks and moves. It’s insane and scared the **** out of me.

megan says:

October 3, 2006, 6:11 pm

OMG! About the cult thing you were talking about, I’ve been out there about 4 or 5 times a few years back & most nights we never saw anything(no light). But the 5th time we went we experienced the car moving thing while it was turned off and in park. It started going foward & so we freaked out and turned back to leave and as we were driving out there was like 4 black pickup trucks parked along side the road with like no one at all in sight we were sooo freaked out! I lived in Dayton at the time. It’s not too far a drive from there. I love this place & want to go back so badly but I moved. I heard the road is paved now. Is that true??

Tonia Duvall says:

October 11, 2006, 3:18 pm

I have been to Bragg light road. It really is their. My Dad, two cousins, and a few friends went. When we went it was still a sand road. You did not have to have the lights on to see the sides of the road. I went with an open mind. I wanted to see if it was true all the stories I had heard. I grew up in Tarkington. My sister-in-laws live in Batson not far from the road. When we went there were lots of cars and trucks there. The were all over the place. I was in the back of the pickup when we saw the light. It was lightly swinging back and forth like someone carring a oil burning lamp. It got closer and closer. The closer it got the brighter it got. It did not stop it went right through the truck we were in. It really freaked me out. I am not easy to scare. This did scare me. I wanted out of there and home. I would like to go back and see it again. Call me crazy or what ever but if you don’t see it for yourself you will never believe. You can say it is not there but until you get brave enough to go and check it out then you will never know. You should not judge just because you do not believe. SO WHAT ARE YOU A FRAIDY CAT OR WHAT? GO SEE IT. You will not be disappointed. As for the story about what happened it is true. If I found anything that can prove it I will post how you can find that information about it.

When I was still in high school, a groups of friends of mine drove out to Brags Road to see this light everyone kept talking about. The car died and would not start we got out the car to see what was wrong with the car. We had been checking under the hood, when all of a sudden we see this gas light comming towards us we started screaming and all the girls jumped in the car. The light passed and the car started and we sped out of their as fast we possibly could. I don’t know what that was but, I won’t go back there again.

Jody Carter says:

December 3, 2006, 9:00 am

Let me tell you about this light, the only scary thing is the long litttle dirt road you have to drive on. I have been there years ago and the only thing that scared me was all the other teenagers there drinking and playing pranks on everyone. I never saw the swamp-gas light. I was always told you sit on the rail road tracks turn off you lights and looks down the track. Its all bull s

Laura says:

December 27, 2006, 11:58 am

I live about an hour from the Bragg Rd. and yea the light is scary and all, but ya’ll are leaving out the school bus full of children that was hit by a train on the other side of the highway. I know, I know, people are reading this and thinking “OMG.. not another stupid story”, but you can really look this up in the newspaper archives. Back in the 1940’s Bragg Road was a very populated road (not so much anymore… obviously). After school one day a school bus with some children and teenagers home. They were crossing over the railroad tracks when the bus suddenly stalled. The worst part was a train was barreling down the tracks at them (this was before rail-road crossing signs). The bus driver tried to get the children off but, not all of them made it off. I think it was about 7 of the children that died from the impact. Now, my point was, if you go to the spot of the accident and put your car in neutral on the tracks (they are no longer running trains down there anymore), and sit and wait, your car will be “pushed” off of the tracks. Or if you park your car beside the tracks and put some baby powder or soft dirt on your trunk, sit for about 15 min and get out, there will be little hand prints on your car from the children. Now, I know that this sounds silly, but three other people did both of these things and I have the pictures to prove it!! I unfortunately can’t post these pictures on here but I am telling you this is for real!!

December 30, 2006, 11:11 am

cool I’m gonna go there, I’ve heard of Sour lake and we live in Texas so it shouldn’t be hard to find, man I’ve always wanted to experience something like that. well that’s cool.

Janice says:

December 30, 2006, 11:17 am

Yeah Laura I’ve been to those tracks and what your sayin’ in your comment is true, true, true. I’ve tried it both ways and they both work perfectly. so um is this in San Antonio? cuz all o ya seem to be talking about the tracks and it’s here in San Antonio but I thought that it said above that the lights were in Sour lake, ummm…..u guys I’m confused someone explain to me.

Laura says:

January 3, 2007, 10:58 am

Well Janice, the brag lights are not in San Antonio and they are not in Sour Lake, (I don’t know why they have Sour Lake down). They are in Saratoga, Texas which is about 30 minutes from Sour Lake. Both cities are very small but I guess Sour Lake is bigger…lol!

Trish says:

January 3, 2007, 7:31 pm

Hey Y’all,
My name is Trish…I live about 30 minutes away from Bragg Road. As a matter of fact, my boyfriend Malcom, my friend Jacob, and my friend Charity, went to this road last night. We knew that we would see it, because we had all already been there before and saw it. We were on the road for about 30 minutes probably, and it appeared right behind us. At first, it was just a dim light, but then it started turning red and then would dissapear. Now I dont know about y’all but headlights and taillights dont fade off change colors like that, you know. But as far as I know, its true, and I belive it because I saw it. So thats my story!:-)
Thanks,
Trish

debra says:

March 2, 2007, 2:35 am

I have been to the Saratoga-Bragg light Rd which they have renamed Ghost Light Rd. We went around 8:30 in the evening before the local teens in pickups start showing up. At first the light shows up faint in the distance and gets bigger and brighter as it gets closer then fades out. There is thick woods on either side and nothing but a staight dirt road for 8 miles. As we were heading south a large light as big as a mack truck came out of the woods to our left in front of us and came right at us. I thought it was going to hit us but it just went off to the right and disappeared. There was no roads for anthing to turn off onto. As we were heading back the light appeared again and this time it chased us. As we picked up speed so did the light. This really freaked us out. It finally gave up the chase when another car showed up. This is a great place to visit if you want to find some excitement and scare a few freinds.

August 1, 2007, 5:07 pm

just wanted to say that I have lived for the last 50 years within 30 miles of the Bragg light and every thing you hear is true about that light and its appearances. However, there seems to be some confusion here.
In reference to Lauras testimony here on this forum, her story is great BUT the Bragg Light of Saratoga Texas has nothing at all to do with the school bus accident which took place at a place called THE TRACKS near San Antonio Texas. That story also is true . I have also been to the tracks many times. and was doing the baby powder test for prints of the children back in 1966 , 20 years before the story first aired in the mid 1980s on Unsolved Mysteries

August 2, 2007, 11:39 pm

I’ve been there! we are also going back with a couple of friends. we went there late one night. it was a clear cold night and we just turned our lights and engine off and just parked. for a long time nothing happened, then we saw this little light ahead of us. so i got out and took a picture. in the picture you can see a little light ahead of me. then 2 seconds later i took another picture and the light was alot closer and there was this fog also in the picture. there was no fog that night and yet it was in the picture. we couldnt explain it. so we went down a little further and it got a little closer and then all of a sudden, it dissapeared.
it was soo cool and creepy at the same time. I LOVED IT! i cant wait to go back!

Nicole says:

August 12, 2007, 11:57 pm

Okay, I am going to be relocating to TX here in the next 6 months. I am going to visit this “ghost road” and report on my findings. I hope this will clear up the “not true” and “true” debate we have going on here. I say if you don’t think it is true, why not see for yourself!

brooke says:

September 18, 2007, 6:02 pm

I have been to that place before. I am orgianlly from southeast texas now living in Round rock, TX. My parents went when they were kids, I went too. When I got married my husband also went as well. Its true there have been people out there to discover what it is;but unexplained. My story is the road is a dirt road with trees on either side thick very thick with a railroad that runs next to it…well the road starts off running near a well traveled road, and at first the “light” usually is someones headlight..but when you go about 1mile down the dark road. By the way the road is only big enough for 1 car to go down…In my rear view mirror I see a light which looks like a car with one headlight.. so I thing nothing of it,, then it gets closer and brighter. So we turn off the car get out not me but my husband does,, and the light goes away it is now in front of the car bright as can be,,, he gets back in it goes away. So the road seems to last forever I am going about 30mph down the road to see how far I have to go. THe “light” is right next to the car in the woods same speed with the car, when we stop it stops, so forth. It is supposed to be some sord of gas, but I didnt know “gas” follows you, it would move from left to right. Thats my story of it..

Yes people this story is true! I’m not positive about the children (though I have heard that before), But the lights do appear. And for the record, Bragg Rd is in Saratoga. My grandoarents live 2 miles past Bragg! Mostly, now, the police are waiting at the end of Bragg to catch teenagers causing trouble.

I live 20 minutes from bragg road and have gone well over 30 times. We dont always see the light but most of the time we do! It is very creepy and it is even better to get out and walk down the straight as hell long road! Oh and i also wonder why it says It is in Sour Lake b/c it’s not!

Me and my friend Chelsea went last night with a group of our friends from our high school. At first we thought it was b.s. because one of the guys was tellin us bout how he went and all this and he was so scared. So we said we would walk down it. Well little did we know how long it was or that it WAS real. So we planned to go Last night. AS soon we turned on the road. We saw it behind us. It was green but then turned white. Sometimes we would see it in the trees or in front or behind us. It was really freaky. We didn’t go as far as the railroad tracks though cause the stupid guys wanted to “mess” with him. So we turned around at the end and went back down it… and once again there it was… it followed us and didn’t disappear once til the very end, all it did was flicker. Well then at the very end we were on the high way. It turned really really bright. So bright you could see the rays coming off of it. We thought they were headlgihts. But there was only one and it never got father away or got closer.. it stayed in one spot. So we backed up to it to see if it was a car. But it stayed a single light. At the end we turned around and shined our headlights on it.. it got real dim. If you turn you headlights off it gets real bright… we took off on the highway. And it DID follow us, for at LEAST 3-5 minutes. It was freaky. If you don’t believe it you should check it out for yourself. It’s a great experience and a lot of fun. You do have to be quiet and turn your lights off though. Trust US you’ll see it.

Good Luck!
Court n Chels.

My dad, my sister, and I went to Bragg road last night, (a tuesday night). It was easy to find, because we came from 1293 and just turned off the road on the left that had a huge reflective sign. It was funny because we were all getting spooked except my brave sister, but we turned in and immediately started feeling like this was a bad idea. The thrill of it all was almost unbearable. It is the perfect place for a ghost to hang out; even the highway was almost completely empty at 8:00pm. The road was very creepy and the trees were all leaning in towards it, and everytime we would see a glint of light from a beer can or piece of trash in a tree we would freak out. So it felt like a very long drive because we were so scared and anticipatory of a ghost light. After we passed the tourist signs we talked my dad into stopping and turning the headlights out. He reluctantly agreed. The moon was almost completely full, but it was lower down on the horizon so when we saw it, of course it scared us at first. However, it did not aid in lighting the road any. Now we only stopped for about a minute at a time because we are truly scaredy cats, but we did not see anything but car head and taillights. We knew they were that because we passed a truck from that direction. Then we went further down and decided to turn around. I am not sure how far down we were, but we did not go down to the last 8 mile stretch. But we did stop, facing 1293 where we had come, and watched the furthest away for any light. We did see a whiteish orange light, too far away to tell if it was an orb, streak from the trees across the road to the other side into the woods. Now I want to ask anyone who has been close to the light, should we have gone down further? Because I know that the train track is all the way down the road. Please let me know if my experience may have been an encounter, and if there are better times of the year to go and see the light. Next time we go, we will be brave enough to go all the way down the road and wait in our dark car for the light. Also, I would like to know if the light has ever gotten close enough for anyone to reach out and touch it, or is it a faster moving light, like the one I saw. We also thought that maybe we saw just a car passing on the highway, but the highway was so far off compared to the light. I don’t think we could have seen the highway from there.

I have also been there I saw the light.It did freak me out but I didn’t stay long enough to see if it would get bigger,or chase me. As soon as I saw IT I left rather quickly. I don’t know if it is truely a haunted road but I’ve heard alot of stories.I personly think people are going out there messed up and just seeing things that simply do not happen. I’ll tell you why because all that it is a reflection of car lights off of gas that is up from the ground. Because anyone that lives in that area knows there are alot of oil riggs around there. So you people quit smoken that ****; and stop going out to see it when you all messed up. You’ll sound like a smater person when you all sober up.

people i have lived down this road there is no ghost and no man wondering around looking for his head.There is not even or has there ever been a train track near this road. and as for as the lights people see is car lights going by on the road beside this road. so this road is not haunted. At the time this all came about the town needed money so they spreaded this **** so it would bring tourist so the town could make money as of today the town is dead and the so called light you dont see anymore so dont waste your time going to try and see it. It wont be there

I went out there last night. We got to the road and were parked in the clearing right around 4am. Of course the three of us are really scared at this point. We sat there for probably a minute and then this small red light appeared in the middle of the road the way we came from. One of my friends reached for her camera and as soon as she got it ready it just dissapeared. She put it away and we thought it would be gone for good but it came back! It didn;t come towards us like we had heard it would but honestly I probably would have had a heart attack if it did. It just stayed back and looked like it was floating in water or something. That road is amazing! If you don’t think its true just go out there.

Everyone,
The Ghost Light of Bragg Road is a true and real supernatural phenomena. I have been to Bragg Road several times and the light always comes to me. I challeged it and it strobed me. It knows when I am on that road and I know when it manifests itself. People whom say that the light does not exist, are wrong.
All you have to do is park on the side of the road and you will not have too long to wait and the light will come calling on you. It is a very frightening experience. I call Bragg Road, the scariest place in Texas!! Beware of the light, it will scare you because it feeds on your fear!!

Happy Haunting!!!

Anthony
