Here’s the scene. You’re driving down a secluded road. The only lights come from your headlights. The only sounds you hear are crickets and the hum of the engine.

Suddenly, a mysterious orb of light appears in the distance, floating a few feet above the ground. You get the sense that the light is aware of your presence. It darts around, beckoning you closer.

It can’t be another car. There’s nothing around for miles.

As you get closer to the light, it vanishes.

Finally, you arrive at a small town and stop at a diner for a bite. You mention your experience to the waitress.

She smiles and says, “You saw a ghost light”. She tells you the story of someone killed on that dark road many years ago. The light has been seen ever since.

Ghost lights, or spook lights, are seen all over the world. In some places, they’re thought to be spirits of the dead. Other places say they’re portals to another dimension. And others say they’re signals from another world.

Whatever they are, ghost lights are real. They’ve stumped scientists, skeptics... even governments for a long time.

They’re seen by thousands of people every year. There are even cases where people have followed a ghost light into the darkness, never to be seen again.
