Paulding Mystery Light

Natural occurrence or supernatural phenomenon?

Nearly every night, ghostly red, green and blue lights appear in the woods between Paulding and Watersmeet. A U.S. Forestry Service sign even marks an overlook where you can view this mysterious phenomenon. While there are many possible explanations for this ghostly display (is it the spirit of a railroad brakeman or a Native American specter dancing on the power lines?), no one has fully unraveled the mystery. For those who have seen this eerie spectacle, it is something they never forget.
