if you read the caption it says "The young man's ghost is seen walking beside the train tracks. The form he takes is a single light floating beside the tracks. Sometimes the light floats at waist level (as if he is walking beside his horse) and other times the light floats above the head (as if he is riding his horse)." saw exactly what it describes but i was on the tracks not the path... i had a lot of people with me and they saw the same thing so it's all legit!!
To all the people that say this is fake, you should go up there yourself. I thought it was fake so I went up there yesterday two different times. I saw it both times. I plan on going again tonight. This time, I'm going to head down the path and try to debunk it.
Did you guys go down that old dirt road that starts with an "M"? I'm not going to say the name of the road due to the fact that it would increase the volume of people that go down there at crazy times of the night. But if so, I use to take groups down there and show people "the light". Nobody knows what it is or what is causing it. Some think it is gas from the ground. Others claim it is cars from the other end of the old railroad track. The car theory is definitely false.
You know how many nights me and my friends get on 4 wheeler and go down there waiting for people to come site seeing and scare the fock out them =)) been here many times the light isnt seen as much as it used to be
Holy ghosts, there's no way that is one of their friends with a light. No way. It's space aliens giving birth to sasquatch's ghost while entering coordinates for Bush's Hurricane machine! Black Mountain and Asheville have their own ghost light tales. I believe the "rows of burning lights" were KKK. Not ghosts, sorry.
Wtf this is fake it could easily be someone with a light or somthing i mean why didnt they walk up to it and actually try and touch it i cant actually believe that i wasted 6.52 minutes of my life i wish there was a botton that could give me back that 6.52 minutes of my life. Its Just not cool -,-
I remember when i was about 8 and we live in NC and we looked for ghosts, (me and my friends, we thought it was fun) and we had heard about the headless man holding a lantern at the mines that ,lost his head after he was decapitated by his boss when he found out he was stealing gold. Brians is right we held up a flashlight a glare turned it off, it went away on it was back and we found out it was a hoax.
HEY!! listen about 1.26 a soft voice saying something, are you scared, am i dead? dunno, cant listen clearly, please check, played it a thousand of times and there is a voice there that doesnt belong for the ppl that recorded this video!!!
I heard of a railway ghost light that if you tap on the rail loud enough the light at the end seems to get closer and closer but as you walk towards it ... its almost like its backing away from you. Saw it on a ghost show of some kind.
what you taped was a spider web flopping around in the wind reflecting the light from your camera that's why it gets dim off and on. and the wind makes it appear to be floating around. guess why it hasn't moved anymore then the few inches in the area you filmed in ?
Ive seen many vids just like this trust me its a spider web..
@brians235 actually i believe what caused was a spider web but the light is reflecting off of a pile of raccoon shit after the animal digested tin foil when i was in the army stationed in Guam we use to see this quit often but u r correct it is a spider web
Guess there is more then one train track with a ghost looking for its head. The other ghost looking for its head by train tracks in Arkansas...I remember seeing the Arkansas one on Unsolved Mysteries or some paranormal show.
well not to long ago, some people did and it was on TV and when they got to the spot the light was on, everything just seemed normal but the people looking from the distance could still see the light.
Hi~obviously the guy "died", killed by 3 men, how did they know this happened? did the killers confesed? but no body was found, so anyway. I'm an amateur ghost hunter too, usually I ask these types of questinos?
I grew up right down the road from one just like this, we have been to see it many times. We walked where the train tracks used to be,Never saw anything like this tho. His name was Joe Balwnand its called the Maco Light...Some say its just swamp gas, some say its really Joe looking for his head. Its off of 74/76 might wanna see that one too. See if u can catch anything there just a suggestion.
i live in Ayden ,nc which is about 25 to 30 mins away from Pactolus and have seen the light many times u absolutly can walk up to the light even drive towards the light but when u do the light goes into the woods and sometimes passes right over ur car it is definatly not a hoax and if u believe it is come to NC and see for urself
I don't know what that light is, but its not a firefly. Firefly's lights aren't continuous, it blinks, and for a lil while the light was steady, I don't know what it was but its not an insect.
its the maco light.i read it in a magic treehouse book and it says there was a railroad conductor and he was checking the paths for the train to pass along.and so, he bent down with his lantern,and the train passed by and cut his head off.people say that he walks around with no head but has an lantern in his hand looking for his head but the tracks r torn up and noone has seen him since
to me it just looks like the camera's light reflecting in a fox or some other animal's eyes (or one eye as if it wasn't looking directly at the camera). But that's just me.
@35Grendel It's definitely not a light reflecting on an animal's eyes. This odd light (which IS in the shape of a lantern -- at least to start) does take on the characteristic of a lantern that is being held by someone as they are walking. It seems unbelievable, and you'd be absolutely okay to doubt it, but I saw it last night and I can certainly tell you that it's legit. I'm a very rational and logical girl, and I saw it with my own two eyes, human silhouette and all. It is undeniable.
Looks like ectoplasm which is believed to be spirit energy. Apparently that is the most efficient way for spirits to move around. Too many people have seen this for it to be anything but true, although that doesn't mean that everytime someone sees a light it is paranormal. it is truly frustrating because no matter how good the evidence is someone will try to shoot it down and that is because so many people try to scam people that one has to be skeptical about everything.
i have lived in greenville all of my life and visited this place many times... i have witnessed someone walk down then path and the light turn red as the person got closer... i also know someone who drove their truck down the path and the light flew over their truck and the truck died.
@aneese3 I have witnessed the same thing!!! ha i live in greenville and we go to pactolus lights all the time and my dads employee whos 28 went there with a couple buddies and they saw the light and thought it was somebody with a light playing a prank so they waited untill it came closer then it whooshed up in the air and they felt the wind hit them as it did that and it chased them back to theyre cars!!! so anyone that says its no real is stupid ive witnessed itttt!!!!
oh also thier german shephard dog was always scared of it and hid under the porch and wouldnt come out. that dog (Missy) wasnt scared of anything else. anyways i showed my mom this video and she said that is exactly like the light they saw, pretty freaky stuff.
my mom used to live in Concord NC her and her family would see this light and at first they thought it was a one eyed cat. so her dad and brothers tried to shoot it and they were exellent shots but they could never hit it. afterwards her grandmother told her the story of the light and that anyone who followed it never returned.
dude the pactolus light is crap , iwent out there like 10 times and never saw nothing but a bunch of people getting stoned. last time i went there i ended up running through the field (on the left thats just before you get to the spot) with some glowing green goggles on and freaked out 3 car loads of people. they came back and put a spot light on us . they were freaked out, it was hilarious.
Ignis fatuous, foolish fire, willow the wisp. We had one in a low wooded area near Sumerville, SC that was fanous for generations, but now the area is buil up and I gues the methane doesn't develop. I went out 3 nights and saw it one night, very clearly and for a long time. It was really active that night, put on a great show. I tried to pull my car for a close in look but the carful of girls started screaming that is was 'right there!" We hauled butt. It is a common explainable phenomenom.
Not to criticize the supernatural or anything, I am open to the possibility of there being something beyond our normal feild of vision and hearing, but a lot of people could look at this video and say, "Oh, that's just someone standing down there with a flashlight."
Not saying you faked this or anything, just saying that this video doesn't really hold any real credible evidence.
Have you ever been down there? pitch dark, bears, foxes, bobcats and all sorts of shit in the summer... not to mention the fire ants. water collected in potholes from hunters ATVs doesnt help either. if you do go, its best if you just stay inside your vehicle, or just outside it so that you can get in quickly if a wild animal comes out to hunt.. the LIGHT is the least of your worries.
I'm talking about the basis of this video you moron. The title of it implies supernatural, not mother nature, so don't think you have any grounds to lecture me on wildlife because you don't.
There was nothing in my comment about it in the first place and in the second place, I live in an area with wildlife as well. So take you pompousness down a notch.
I scrolled up and down this comment page and i dont see where i said anything mean to you at all. and as far as i can see, i commented 2 or 3 times and none of them were in response to anything you said. i read your post, and i agree, people have said that it was someone with a flashlight, blah blah blah, but i cant find a basis for why you would call me a moron, and the comment to the asshole, definately wasnt to you, someone else had pissed me off. if you got it by accident, sorry.
secondly, i wasn't lecturing you on wildlife, i was simply saying that anybody would be a fool to go down there at night fucking around with all that shit running around in the summertime, trying to play a hoax, when they can get fucked up by some wild animal trying to protect her little ones. most of the time, people do go down there, but they stay in their cars. 9 times out of 10, its just too dangerous to do anything but sit in your car and film. thats why i asked had you ever been there.
Well, I did see your comment on the wildlife and potholes thing as a response to one of my comments, which is why I took such offense to it because it seemed you were claiming as me having a complete ignorance to wildlife.
Ghost lights are everywhere. It looks like they're only a mile away, actually they're many miles away. Let's think about the rainbow. We think the rainbow is just there but we can never get to it.
hey guys, ghost lights are seen all over, just caught some on camera myself, i am a big fat sceptic, but i saw what i saw, google port perry, scugug island, it was debunked, but how when they were seen in 1800s, and i witnessed myself. i have no reason to lie or embellish truth, check that canadian site out!
yo i live about 10 minutes from pactolus...this is real..the light disappears as u approach it..i actualy went and checked it out 2 nights ago..it is closed off but u can still get your way around it since its so wide open
yo man high or not this is wack..im a graffiti artist and tagged one night on sum tracks here in arkansas seen something like this so i researched it turned out about 3 hours from me gurdon arkansas has some freaky light on railroad tracks like this it is pretty creepy and the town and ne one who goes swears its true im heading there to search it soon but you should look at some of the videos even ghost hunters whent there
We have one of these lights in saratoga texas, it's also on an old railroad bed with tracks removed also on utube. The trees and road look so similar. There are like 5 of these I found across the states. Noramlly a headless engineer myth is in all of them. However most of the areas all involve a swamp or marshy area...so most likely...it's swamp gas or fox fire, from methane.
Generally, the light will disappear when approached. I've often wondered why no one ever seems to do a serious study of the lights, figure out their location and then set up cameras closer to where they appear. This might "shed some light" on the lights!
That's the stand responce from "Ghost Lights', the vanish when you get clseo to them. However, if you were able to pre-position cameras before they appeared and have them set for motion detection, timer or remotely controlled, you might get some decent images of them. Of course, the electro-magnetic field from a camera might prevent them from showing up in the first place.
@EpicurusThirteen i thought the same thing but my mom tried it, yes they used to see it, everytime they went toward it or shined a light at it it just backed up to where it was beyond the light
I went to school at Chowan College near this. We use to go out there sometimes. I thought it was bull, but one night we walked really close and saw this light. Scared the crap out of me
holy shit thats what we saw we walked all the down the traill and flicked our light 3 times then it looked like a bee thaat was blue flew twowards us and then some guy took out his video camera and it turned red
was this at the "light path" on the Carl Morris Rd? I used to hunt that RR bed and it would give you the willys coming out at night in the dark. acutally grew up living beside that track up just about 2 miles or so from this spot. we used to go down there in the dark with fashlights to scare friends that were looking the light, haha. good times....
Someone should turn that sighting in to 'Ghost Hunters' on SciFi Channel. They have all kinds of high tech equipment, I'd watch it for sure, it looks creepy, and if you turned it into Ghost Hunters and they caught something you might be lucky enough that they catch some EVP segments.
Sorry, all i see is a vague light occasionally. Theres nothing else to see as a point of reference, so really this proves nothing. I want to believe but not convinced theres anything weird going on here.
camo4x4: u should probably submit this to 1 of those ghost hunting shows so u can get better equipment (night/heat vision camera's, maybe a legal permit to b on the guy's land, and some other stuff) so u can @least c if its supernatural or not. -sorry if some1 else already said that but i've only read halfway through the posts since it's so long and repetitive
well it explains the story in the description. i'm positive that the story is true. as for the light, i'm skeptical. i've heard about it but personally i have never seen it. i'm not saying that it isn't there though.
I go to school near where this is, one lady i know was in the woods with her daughter (i also know her) They saw it and they said they ran like crazy!
Have you heard the one about the Pumkin Man? supposely he is some sort of myth or perhaps real and there's this guy that was inpire by this Pumkin Man he go around butchering hikers and campers around Brown Mountain, some say that those lights up there were the ghost of the people he killed.
i think it might b possible that its a ghost more likely some other type of spirit (angel/demon) but that would b a pretty fun thing 2 do, just 2 c what would happen, plus it would give every1 else watching a good scare.
wow. i always beleived in them and now you have proof. it just sucks that nobody really cares cuz they think it's a hoax. i heard of this one before. nc is the most ghostly state in th us, especially at the brown mountains. now i can't sleep. thx 4 giving me nightmares again.
I dont think this thing is pissed off or even sapient, for that matter. I bet this phenomena occurred long before the early 1900s when this legend supposedly began. They are called Earth lights and usually coincide with earthquakes or other natural disasters.
I've lived at the bottom of Brown Mt. all my life and have only seen them one time when i was like ten for only a few seconds! And the r roads all over the mountain but none that cross the road like that light does! I rode those road alot at night in a jeep and never seen anything like that before. But i think that they are playin a trick!!
if you read the caption it says "The young man's ghost is seen walking beside the train tracks. The form he takes is a single light floating beside the tracks. Sometimes the light floats at waist level (as if he is walking beside his horse) and other times the light floats above the head (as if he is riding his horse)." saw exactly what it describes but i was on the tracks not the path... i had a lot of people with me and they saw the same thing so it's all legit!!

dude the pactolus light is crap , iwent out there like 10 times and never saw nothing but a bunch of people getting stoned. last time i went there i ended up running through the field (on the left thats just before you get to the spot) with some glowing green goggles on and freaked out 3 car loads of people. they came back and put a spot light on us . they were freaked out, it was hilarious.

Ignis fatuous, foolish fire, willow the wisp. We had one in a low wooded area near Sumerville, SC that was fanous for generations, but now the area is buil up and I gues the methane doesn't develop. I went out 3 nights and saw it one night, very clearly and for a long time. It was really active that night, put on a great show. I tried to pull my car for a close in look but the carful of girls started screaming that is was 'right there!" We hauled butt. It is a common explainable phenomenom.

Not to criticize the supernatural or anything, I am open to the possibility of there being something beyond our normal feild of vision and hearing, but a lot of people could look at this video and say, "Oh, that's just someone standing down there with a flashlight."
Not saying you faked this or anything, just saying that this video doesn't really hold any real credible evidence.
samuraiofsamuraiedo 2 years ago
Have you ever been down there? pitch dark, bears, foxes, bobcats and all sorts of shit in the summer... not to mention the fire ants. water collected in potholes from hunters ATVs doesnt help either. if you do go, its best if you just stay inside your vehicle, or just outside it so that you can get in quickly if a wild animal comes out to hunt.. the LIGHT is the least of your worries.

@diva6000
I'm talking about the basis of this video you moron. The title of it implies supernatural, not mother nature, so don't think you have any grounds to lecture me on wildlife because you don't.
There was nothing in my comment about it in the first place and in the second place, I live in an area with wildlife as well. So take you pompousness down a notch.

I scrolled up and down this comment page and i dont see where i said anything mean to you at all. and as far as i can see, i commented 2 or 3 times and none of them were in response to anything you said. i read your post, and i agree, people have said that it was someone with a flashlight, blah blah blah, but i cant find a basis for why you would call me a moron, and the comment to the asshole, definately wasnt to you, someone else had pissed me off. if you got it by accident, sorry.
diva6000 1 year ago
secondly, i wasn't lecturing you on wildlife, i was simply saying that anybody would be a fool to go down there at night fucking around with all that shit running around in the summertime, trying to play a hoax, when they can get fucked up by some wild animal trying to protect her little ones. most of the time, people do go down there, but they stay in their cars. 9 times out of 10, its just too dangerous to do anything but sit in your car and film. thats why i asked had you ever been there.
diva6000 1 year ago
Well, I did see your comment on the wildlife and potholes thing as a response to one of my comments, which is why I took such offense to it because it seemed you were claiming as me having a complete ignorance to wildlife.

Ghost lights are everywhere. It looks like they're only a mile away, actually they're many miles away. Let's think about the rainbow. We think the rainbow is just there but we can never get to it.

krylonking89 2 years ago
We have one of these lights in saratoga texas, it's also on an old railroad bed with tracks removed also on utube. The trees and road look so similar. There are like 5 of these I found across the states. Noramlly a headless engineer myth is in all of them. However most of the areas all involve a swamp or marshy area...so most likely...it's swamp gas or fox fire, from methane.

Why doesn't anyone ever just walk up to the light? Or turn on a birght light aimed at it? So frustrating.
EpicurusThirteen 2 years ago 13
Generally, the light will disappear when approached. I've often wondered why no one ever seems to do a serious study of the lights, figure out their location and then set up cameras closer to where they appear. This might "shed some light" on the lights!
PaulUmbarger 2 years ago
I walked out there and tried to reach the light...you can never get to it. its the weirdest shit. def. real though. go pirates!
jds0912 2 years ago
That's the stand responce from "Ghost Lights', the vanish when you get clseo to them. However, if you were able to pre-position cameras before they appeared and have them set for motion detection, timer or remotely controlled, you might get some decent images of them. Of course, the electro-magnetic field from a camera might prevent them from showing up in the first place.
PaulUmbarger 2 years ago
@EpicurusThirteen i thought the same thing but my mom tried it, yes they used to see it, everytime they went toward it or shined a light at it it just backed up to where it was beyond the light

was this at the "light path" on the Carl Morris Rd? I used to hunt that RR bed and it would give you the willys coming out at night in the dark. acutally grew up living beside that track up just about 2 miles or so from this spot. we used to go down there in the dark with fashlights to scare friends that were looking the light, haha. good times....

Someone should turn that sighting in to 'Ghost Hunters' on SciFi Channel. They have all kinds of high tech equipment, I'd watch it for sure, it looks creepy, and if you turned it into Ghost Hunters and they caught something you might be lucky enough that they catch some EVP segments.

I dont think this thing is pissed off or even sapient, for that matter. I bet this phenomena occurred long before the early 1900s when this legend supposedly began. They are called Earth lights and usually coincide with earthquakes or other natural disasters.
