Anyone here anyone here near the NC or SC border? if u are has anyone seen this light? i like to go see it one day!

the story on light is! Park and walk about a mile or so and start yelling for him. you will know when you are close cause the temperature will drop drastically. His name is John Bingham. He was hit by a train in the late 1800s or early 1900s depending on who you ask in town. He was flagging the train with a Lantern and his lantern is what you will see swaying back and forth. The Tracks are no longer there!

i have read odd things happenend at that place? anyone see it first hand?

I also live very close to the NC/SC border, about 5 miles into NC. I have read many NC ghost stories and have heard of this one many times. I read of the guy that he was a worker for the railroad and somehow got himself decapitated by the train. He is looking for his head they say and he is supposed to be swinging his lantern side to side. So many of those stories are just written for people like me who would like to see such a thing. These are bedtime stories!haha
I WILL tell ya one thing though. Check out the Brown Mountain Lights (in North Carolina). Those suckers are real. I don't have a link, but any search on the internet would do, i would think.
