Saratoga Lights

[Malicious]

ok.... The story behind the haunted woods is that long ago a guy and his lantern were traveling down a railroad path in the woods. His lantern went out and he went to relight it again. just as he did a train came by and decapitated him.( i don't know how he could've gotten decapitated, to think he'd probably get ran over flat)

anyways.....

i'm not sure what road it's on by it's a dirtroad about 20 feet wide and it just goes straight across into the woods. there are no twists or turns and on each side of the road is trees, you can't drive into it. Well sometimes large gatherings of people go there to check out this mysteries light that drifts around in the woods. My friend has gone 3 times in the past and each time him and his friends see the light. He described it as a white round light drifting in the trees, it sometimes can get really close to the dirt road. Him and his friends sit there trying to determine if its a carlight or a motorcycle light, but no vehicle can drive into the thick woods.

he's got video footage of a light, he said he'll give it to me when he can. don't worry i'll put it up ASAP. i'm, also going to go..but i dunno when i'm honestly scared more of a psycho or madman being out there than anything paranormal.

sorry if this topic has been brought up...i've tried searching it but the search button never works for me

[St Q]

I know that there are other threads concerning this subject but the title of this one seemed the most appropriate.

My brother and I visited Ghost Road of Hardin County near Saratoga several times in 2006. We did not see the ghost light but we did confirm the magnification phenomenon that haunts this road. We also discovered the mystery responsible for the "vortex" phenomenon and on one occasion, experienced "lost time".

Magnification Phenomenon (see first investigation at: http://www.ghosts.org/ghostlights/bragginvestigation.html)

The magnification phenomenon seems to come and go, increasingly stronger on some nights and decreasingly weaker on others. On one particular night, my brother noticed a small illuminated patch of light in the middle of the road not more than 50 yards away. We were at the first pipeline right-of-way, approximately 1.3 miles from the south entrance, facing south toward Saratoga. The moon was about three-quarters full and to the right (southwest) of our position. I thought it was the moonlight shining down on the road through a gap in the trees. My brother, realizing that there was no gap in the trees large enough to allow light from the moon to enter from its near 45 degree angle, surmised that it was the moonlight shining on the surface of the highway. Had the headlights of an on-coming vehicle been on that highway at the time, we would have sworn it was the ghost light.

Vortex Phenomenon (see the last two entries at: http://www.angelfire.com/sk2/stparanormal/saratogalight.html)

The vortex phenomenon is a visual hallucination caused by the hypnotic effect of watching the roadway for the last four to six miles. Traversing a 5-mile stretch of roadway, illuminated only by headlights at 20 miles per hour, would take about 15 minutes. When our eyes see repetitive motion that fatigues our vision, then the opposite effect will occur when it stops or we look away. Archimedes discovered this in 350 BC when he looked at a waterfall and then looked away.

Lost Time Phenomenon (see post by Sweetsalem82103 at: http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum...t&p=1367924)

Normally, when we go there, we arrive at dusk and leave about 1:30 AM. On our first visit there together, we arrived about 7:30 PM and left about 3:30 AM. We both assumed that it should be about 1:30, not 3:30. We could not account for the last two hours that we were there. How did it get so late so fast? The clock on the truck radio clearly showed 3:30 and so too, did our watches. However, when I downloaded the video camcorder to my computer using Windows Movie Maker, the last clip jumped from 12:38 AM to 3:17 AM.

Some type of a "time warp" phenomenon may indeed exist there. I think it may be related to the magnification phenomenon. There may be places on this earth where space-time is compressed or overlaps.
