Ghost Light Road
A man was once driving down this road when he crashed and was subsequently decapitated. If one drives on this road at about five miles an hour, a white light will approach the car and then hover above it.

I am less concerned about the stupid light, and more concerned about the stupidity of some of you. Learn how to spell. Some of you type as if you weren’t offered a K-12 education for free. I don’t know where you come up with the way you spelled some of your words, but that is not how it is spelled in any of the dictionaries I’ve ever used. It will be useless to reply to this if you’re offended, because I won’t be checking the web site just to come back to more comments with incorrectly spelled words. Typos are one thing, being an idiot is just sad. Also, I understand that some people have problems such as dyslexia, but there is such a thing as spell check.

@John
Yes, I agree. Most of these comments are not even on a fourth grade level. That scares me more than any ghost story could. Learn to express yourself like a grownup. Also: http://www.webgrammar.com/ http://www.spellchecker.net/spellcheck/ and http://dictionary.reference.com/

I have been to Ghost light road when I was a teenager (about 20 years ago). I have seen some crazy things there along as everyone I knew. It was a popular place when I went to school. The last I heard the road has all types of homes and what-not. When I used to go there, nothing was there but a long dirt road.

It was the early 80’s and I was working as a DJ in Green Cove Springs at then WKUE-FM (92K, an album rock station). A couple of girls came by the radio station and told us about the mysterious and spooky light that appeared and unexplainably vanished on a long, straight dirt road.
I didn’t give it much thought, but my DJ friend Dean Richards was curious enough to convince me to go along with them. He volunteered to drive us, although I wasn’t sure if it was just so we could ride off with the girls.
It was a very foggy night when we reached the dirt road, and just the header of it had asphalt. Both sides of the road were littered with trash and old appliances. We drove down the road and it seemed like there was a dim red light ahead that looked like a tail light, but with the fog we couldn’t be sure. The girls apologized to us and said it must be because of the fog. I reasoned that it must be because the story was false. No harm done. My co worker was the one who wasted the gas to get there.
A few nights later my friend got the idea that we should investigate the area again, and this time it was a very clear night. He offered to drive and brought his wife with him this time. I figured all I had to lose was time.
When we turned into the road we could clearly see what looked like a red tail light. The light seemed to contain energy in its center because it grew to a bright headlight or resembled an ongoing headlight of a train. While watching this happen we all felt a creepy feeling. Just as soon as the light, appeared and grew brighter it suddenly disappeared. We drove slowly toward the darkness when my friend said, “look, it’s behind us!’ I turned around and saw the same red light from the direction we came from. It grew into another white light and hovered in the center of the road. Again, it suddenly vanished. The red light again appeared in front of us and stayed lit. We looked behind us and saw different lights. A red neck driving a pick-up truck headed toward us and we flagged him down. We asked him if he had heard about the strange light and he said he didn’t. We pointed to the red light that was hovering in the center of the road in front of us. “It must be tail lights!” he reasoned. We all shook our heads no and explained to him that the light would grow and become white and look like a train or headlight. No sooner did we say that and our prediction came true. Suddenly, without warning the light disappeared, and the red light once again was in the opposite direction. After a short time, the light energized and got brighter.
“I’m gonna find out what that sob is” the redneck said and he got into his pickup truck and took off as fast as his truck would drive heading straight for the light. We decided to join him. Surely, we would catch up to the light. It wasn’t as far back tracking as it was in the other direction.
As we raced toward the light it became brighter and quickly vanished without a trace. There was nothing in the road ahead as we reached the entrance. We thought maybe someone turned down a side road but there was no side road. We pulled over, talked some more and exchanged ideas about what we thought it was. The road was now dark and the show was over. What did we see?
The story doesn’t end here. I continued to visit the strange light over 30 times. Each time I brought someone new to show them what I saw and try to get their explanation. Before each visit I explained that we may see nothing because I didn’t want them to think I was some kind of crackpot. Each time the light didn’t disappoint us and gave us a variety of activity. Some visits more happened than others, but it always started as the red light and usually the light would grow into the white beacon.
Some thought it was the angle of the paved road that curved at the end of the road, but the other side didn’t curve, so it didn’t explain it. Others said that it used to be an old airfield and that somebody must be doing the lights to scare people. That made no sense. It was suggested that it was some form of gasses coming out of the ground. Why the different colors then?
In all my visits I never came up with a logical conclusion. Just that this was freaky and something I never saw before or since. I ended up moving out of town a number of years but came back. By this time my children were enrolled in Bartram Trails High School. The spooky road was now paved, and I travelled on it in the daytime, but never really went at night to see if the light was still there. If it is it would just blend in with the rest of the traffic now. The unusual thing about it back in the early 80’s was it was an undeveloped area and remote. There was no reason for the lights to have that much activity.
I know there are a lot of questions about the validity of this phenomenon, but I can personally attest to the fact that indeed it was real, and there were countless of witnesses who saw what I saw. I tried to get an answer to what the light was for years until I gave up.
I’m not saying the road is haunted or that I have any explanation to the strange happenings other than to say it was real.
