Bragg Rd.
This hotel at the end of this street was once run by a well known innkeeper. The man, however, was decapitated by an oncoming train during the latter part of the nineteenth century. Now a strange light is seen near the hotel; it is allegedly the innkeeper searching for his head.

It’s the same Bragg road as the other story. It actually is between these two towns. The small towns in this part of the state are very close together so people who live in one town or another claim it as their own. The local Beaumont newspaper does a story on this legend every year at Halloween. I lived in the area for three years. 2001-2004

I live in Houston and hunt on a deer lease in East Texas (near Burkeville)and Bragg road is between the two and so my friend Mike and I decided one Thursday night to head out about 12:30 or closer to 1am and detour to “Ghost Road” and see for ourselves on the way to the lease. Well, we got all fired up on the way there and when we arrived at the sign at the entrance of Bragg road, we were pretty spooked. I had never been down the road and I had a trailer pulling a fourwheeler on back and the road was muddy so I was nervous because I didn’t know how it’d be if we had to turn around out there or whatever. Anyways, it was about 2:45am when we arrived and got out and videotaped the sign and all and we had to drive slow because it was slippery but we drove the whole thing and saw nothing! Now, my truck does not allow the lights to turn off while it’s driving so, we had the lights on the whole trip but still saw nothing. The road itself was spooky as are most east Texas dirt roads at night and we kept expecting to see something but didn’t. When we crossed the tracks and came to the highway again we turned and went to my lease. I’m wondering, should we have crossed the highway and stayed on the dirt road? Do we need our lights off? And where is the cemetary?
Thanks,
Mark

My brother and I went to braggs road it was spooky,we only saw one light it was orange looking saw if for a few mins and dispeared never saw it again.My brother thoought it was headlights from cars passing by but i don’t think it is cause of how far down the road we were on.We took pictures none really came out that well a few pictures orbs came up on and that was it still that was spooky enough for me.But we do tend to go back again at a later time like around 1am hopefully we will see more then what we saw.

If you have a map of Texas, just find Saratoga,Tx. Then, find the intersection of 787 and 770 just west of Saratoga. If your coming from the west on 770, you’ll turn left on 787 and drive about 5 minutes and see a dark road to the right and it has a sign saying “Ghost road scenic route”. Enter at your own risk! We didn’t see anything though, but it was spooky and it gets muddy so pick a good dry night!

Last night, me and my friends decided to head out to Bragg Road. We live in Jefferson County so it took us a good forty five minutes to get there. We pull into the road and start watching for the light. We go all the way down the road, stopping every few miles to watch. We don’t see anything but drunk teenagers hanging out about half way down the road. So we go all the way to the end and park, trying to decide if we want to take the highway back or make another drive down the road. While discussing, a red glow appears in the middle of the road. It hung in the air for a few seconds and then it was gone. I was a little freaked out and thought maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me until someone else in the car asked if anybody else saw that. We turn the lights off and watch. A minute or so later we see an orange light that went from left to right and could have no way been headlights because it would get bright and then go out. We watched it for ten or so minutes trying to figure out if it was an oncoming car. It really looked like someone carrying a flashlight or lantern while walking. We decide to go and see if it was a car and were even more freaked out to see the only other car on the road was parked with no lights on about four miles down. There were three of us and we all saw the same thing and were all equally freaked out. I don’t know what we saw, but would like to think it was the light.

family is from the area and live a short distance from the road in question. when i was a child my teenage cousins decided to freak me out by driving down that road at night…it must have been close to or on my birthday because the point was to keep me away from the house for a while. I just remember nearly peeing my pants and the group Journey on the radio. I dont remember seeing any lights and all through the time I lived in Texas the stories about hte road were around.

This is the silliest thing! We have been several times and haven’t ever seen anything except for a bunch of car lights and drunks!

I have lived 10-15 minutes from Bragg Rd. My whole life…The dirt road is about 9.3 miles long, very dark and spooky at night. I have always heard stories from my dad, family, and friends, about the Bragg Light, drove up and down the road in the middle of the night many times hell i’ve even partied and got drunk at the pipeline… But I have never seen any lights besides flashlights and carlights. It may be there, but I have never seen it.

I have been down bragg road many, many times before. And had never seen anything, until 10/25/05 – I had 6 people with me and I had mentioned going to saratoga because we live in beaumont which is only about 30 miles from it. So we head over to bragg road and go all the way down to the cemetary. We get out and mess around for a while, take a few pictures and freak ourselves out. So we all get back in my car and start going back down the road. I wasnt driving at the time my friend Matt was and he is from that area. I was messing around in the back set with my girlfriend and told Matt to turn the lights off, so he did, I look back to see a light coming from the right side of the road, and all of the sudden this ball of redish orange light basiclly floats across the road it paused for a second and started to go upward into the trees, I watched as it went behind the trees and followed in the woods for about 5 seconds until it was gone. We had witnessed the lights and I tell you it was scary as ****. And also the pictures we had to didnt come out, thet had orangish dots all over them. This is a true story!
