Gurdon Spook Light

Gurdon Spook Light

First Observed: 1930's ( Possibly Earlier )

Location: Gurdon, Arkansas

The town of Gurdon Arkansas has a mystery light which was profiled a few years ago on "Unsolved Mysteries". If one goes to the railroad tracks on the outskirts of Gurdon at night, then walk about 3/4 mile down to where there is a slight slope of the tracks and wait, a ball ranging from blue, green or white, to orange, light will almost always appear, hovering or bobbing around much like a balloon or ball on a string, over the tracks. The light seems to be about the size of a basketball, and around fifty yards away. If you walk toward it, the light will receed away from you or disappear, sometimes reappearing behind you. Appearing both day and night. It was first observed during the construction of the tracks during The Great Depression. One distinguishing feature is that it has a distinctive border to it.
