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.

That light is Jesus

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.

i dont believe in ghost but would very much like to ha tell me how to get to this place?

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.

Well… I was watching this show called Mystery Hunters and the person on there was doing a thing on something like that. She had 2 people to help her. And she just found out that it was the cars on another street causing it. The car lights were reflecting off the road and causing the light to spook people. So I don’t believe that this is paranormal. I just think there is a reasonable explanation for why this is happening.

Nope, we checked that out. It wasn’t the reflection. Believe me I WANTED to explain it. I finally gave up though.

Oncejust yesterday I went over the dames point bridgeand see for yourself

would anyone know if the mental hospital is still there. im not sure of its exact location but if someone could reply back to me that would be great

It was (now there is too much traffic interfering) from cars on the road at the end which was practically straight on from the dirt road then turns off. It was a pretty long road and the headlights you saw were way off. So far that 2 headlights always just looked like a single light and it flickered quite a bit. The taillight you saw after it would disappear was either a car behind you going the opposite direction or the artifact light you see after starting intently at the spooky light ahead of you. Amazingly despite taking dozens of people to see it and explaining to them what it was, several to this day are still convinced it was a real ghost. Interestingly all those who believe it was an actual ghost also believe in a myriad of ridiculous conspiracy theories and religious phenomenon like crying statues and 2012 end of the world ****. Anyone with a solid grip on reality could clearly understand exactly what the source of the light was. To Angela who was ‘cornered by drunken teens in a big truck’ I apologize as that was probably us. We partied on that road nearly every weekend messing with the ghost hunters. I have stayed on the road from sunset to sunrise several times, seen the light hundreds if not thousands of times (for ever car that came down 210) and I’m telling you there was never any real ghost. Hell even the story itself should tell you its fake. I mean its a classic right out of the book of fake ghost story with hardly any thought put into it. Greenbriar used to be a dirt road from Roberts/Longleaf to 210. Right at that spot where 210 is now a straight on intersection it used to just curve south right at the spot Greenbriar hits it. So a car (the ghost light) would be coming and you could see it for a long time cause its a long straight road. And there was a bit of illusion to it since it was so far off in the distance it was practically at the limit of your vision. Then when the car rounded the curve south on 210 the light would disappear. Everyone would freak out and look behind and sure enough either the red artifact from staring at the distant light for so long, or another car going the opposite direction toward 13, usually having come from Roberts/Longleaf. On one occasion we did almost ‘catch the light’ which turned out to be another car. And I believe this may be the incident Angela was referring to. We were going to drive through it and sped up way faster than is safe for a dirt road. We ended up swerving around after realizing it was another car and lost control and got stuck sideways in the road. I think we ran the other car off the road so Im pretty sure that was us Angela was referring to. Again I apologize, though I wasn’t driving so technically wasnt my fault.

Also of note is that the proper way to view the light was by traveling West to East (13 to 210) since the light was the oncoming cars on 210. And usually you didn’t start the search till you hit the dirt road part. If you came from 210 toward 13 you could possibly see a light coming from further up Greenbriar toward 13 but would eventually pass it and realize it was a car if it didnt turn onto Roberts/Longleaf whereas the cars on 210 would curve south right as it intersected with Greenbriar and ‘disappear’. Surely a light traveling toward you on a perfectly straight road with no turn offs and just disappears must be a ghost right?! So its not surprising so many people believed it was a ghost.

I have lived in jax all my life and growing up everyone use to go to ghost light road.. it used to be a dirt road but now it’s paved I have heard all versions from the man being decapitated to an escaped mental patient and even a decapitated horse men….. the light you see is from county road 210… but if you dont know any better it is very spooky and chilling… you will def drive away screaming

Its the GHOOOOST LIIIGHT!

Can anyone Tell me how to get there? Id like to try to see it! Ive been Investigating local houses with supposed hauntings here in Starke Florida, One of them being the house on cherry street, with the lady in white! Id love to see this for myself.

I’ve wittnessed ghost in my old area, a place me and friends heard stories about but didnt think it was true. We were taunting the old broken down hospital and ghosts till things went wrong and got outta hand. Something pushed my friend off 3 story stairway, she is scared for life an will never taunt the dead again. You can dig up your research at this site http://www.forgotten-ny.com/STREET%20SCENES/Seaview/seaview.html

You can find me at xxxtreme.us just ask for smokey… i do my research on the dead ever since, i know alot about them, an have friends with special machines to communicate with the dead..

Sorry everyone, you are all wrong – This was my best friend that died in 1966. He and another friend of mine were on a motorcycle and they were run off the road by a car and both died. One crossed over and the one you sometimes see did not..he’s still living the nightmare………..He will soon be gone.

I doubt this story is true. There is a story in my hometown that a man was walking down the railroad tracks. He was hit and his head was decapitated. Now they say if you drive along the ruins of the tracks, you’ll see a white light which is his lantern. This is a cool story, but not true.

Ive seen the light multiple times U believe its a motorcyclr and the story i heard was the mental patien took the motorcycle from the hospital grounds escaped down that road and crashed and was decapatated and i seen it behind us the mysteriously in front of us and we where not hi or drunk sometimes lol but i believe since all the postings they have blocked off the road let me know if its still open im taking my kids now to experience something I did when i was a child
