I live in the boring city of Abilene Texas, and I too have seen the mysterious lights in the small town of Anson. Since Abilene is so boring, most of the highschool guys have to find there kicks somewhere else, which is where the story comes in. I first heard about the lights a couple years back and managed to get the courage to take up the small journey to see what all the hype was. I can still recall the first time I ever pulled onto that long dirt raod next to the dark cemetary scared as hell! As we made our way to the deserted crossroads, tension was running high among the group. As the myth tells, we flashed our lights and then waited...but not for long. Shortly after turning off the lights, we were slowly approached by a zig-zaging light in the formation of a flikering lantern. The light slowly made its way down the road about a quarter mile where it stopped in front of us about a hundred yards and then suddenly dissapeared. We were all in shock and pretty much horrified by what we had just seen. We quikly drove down the rode to see if we could find the source of the light, but were unsuccessful. Call me crazy, but I then volunteered to stay at the cemetary with a friend as the rest of the bunch went to the end of the road to try again. We both hoped to see the light and uncover the mystery. It wasn't long until with saw the guys flash the lights and then dissapear. After waitng around 15 minutes and scared out of our minds, we started toward the car. About halfway to the car the others began to honk the horn and flash the lights without warning. Not knowing what was going on we were soon met and picked up. All of the guys had horrified, pale looks on their faces. We later found out as the two of us waited, the others spotted the ligth appear and dance about 10-20 feet above our heads. Totally freaked out after hearing the news, we drove back to Abilene, to soon make the trip again. Ever since then, the guys and myself have been believers! This is honestly a true story, and I urge everyone who reads this to make the trip to Anson and see for yourself the incredible and mind-blowing lights.
