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
