Horizontal Scroll: Down in the Big Thicket, way down in exists the Old Bragg Light. Seen for many years on an old sandy road close to , no one has ever pinpointed its source. “It was the first ghost light I had ever seen,” my mother told me. I went once to the old road but never saw the light myself. That does not mean that others haven’t seen it though. I know that I have personally seen the Spooklight in , dozens of times. The story I was told by my dad who was born and raised in Woodville Texas was that a man was working on the railroad and was accidentally decapitated and since then looks nightly for his head, carrying an old lantern. Is there any truth to the story? I think so. My dad knew the man personally who lost his life on that railroad! I know one thing…you have never experienced “dark” until you’ve been out of that road at night! Calypso
