I am from a little town called Hawley in Texas. There is a town next to it called Anson. Out side of Anson there is a cemetery. A few years back my ex-boyfriend told me he wanted to take me out to see the Anson lights. It is supose to be a ghost of a woman from the 1800s who is looking for her lost son. Well at the time I was in the frame of mind that there had to be a scientific explanation for this. So we went.
Now this is how you are suppose to do this. About a quarter of a mile down the dirt road running along side the cemetery there is a cross roads. You are suppose to go to the cross roads and turn around and flash your lights then turn them off and wait.
That night we went. This is the part that really freaked me out, We didn't even get past the cemetery good and this big bright light popped up behind the car. I am not the type to be scared easy, but this totally flipped me out. I started jumping around the car locking the doors. We went to the cross roads and turned around and waited. Well it was only a few minutes and there it was again. It was a floating white light that just moved from side to side, around in circles and up in the trees. No set pattern.
We were only there about a few minutes, when a police officer came and told us to leave. He told us that it was nothing but lights from the Stamford highway. Well we left, and on the way home my ex told me that that was a total lie. Him and some friends went out there one night in two differant vehicles. One was a truck with a high powered spot light mounted on it. They had CBs in their vehicles. The truck drove up and down the Stamford highway for over an hour with the spot light on. The whole time my ex and the others never saw the light, until the truck got back.
And from first hand I know this. One night we took my family out there. My youngest brother did not believe at all. So him and a couple of friends took off.
A few minutes later the rest of us saw the light. Then a really strange thing happened, two lights popped up. And they both were doing exactly the same thing. Then we realized that one of them was my brother on the hood of our friends truck with a spot light covered with a black t-shirt. And he was mocking the pattern that we had seen the light move. We were all laughing when they pulled up and stopped. My brother jumped off and laughed and said "I told you there was no real light." We were still laughing and we pointed behind them where the light was still moving in its circles.
He went white as a ghost and from that minute on he believed too.
