Shine Your Lantern Three Times
Local legend says that one December night more than a hundred years ago, a mother sent her son into the woods to retrieve a Christmas tree for the family. Reportedly, the mother told her son to flash his lantern three times if he got into any trouble. When the boy did not return, his mother searched for him until she herself died. Near the woman’s burial site, there is a crossroads. It is said that if one parks his car and flashes the headlights three times, a mysterious light will rise and traverse across the road. One will then hear a voice yelling, “Mommy they got me. I’m over here.” The light then turns red and flies toward the voice.

Its said that it is indeed the vengeful spirit of a mother, and if you’re pregnant, as my sister was at the time of her visit, you will get very ill, and I’ve heard tales of women actually loosing their babies from ‘unknown illnesses’ after visiting the ‘anson lights’.
