Subject: Bragg Road...Ghost Light

Hi.
I have read some of the stories that you have published on this subject, and just thought that I would send you mine.
I spent half of my life in the Big Thicket, but it wasn't until after I was married that I ever heard of Bragg Road. You see, there are many strange and unexplainable things that happen in the Big Thicket,as any of the natives will tell you.
But when I did first experience Bragg, it was a something that I have shared with countless others, time and again.
The light is very much real. My husband and I lived in Saratoga and Kountze for awhile, and Bragg road was one of our favorite places to go.
The light is very much there, and even my husband (who is the biggest skeptic in the world) will tell you about it.
We not only saw the light, we had an extremely close encounter with it.
It was back about 10 years ago. We had decided to take a ride down the road, it was about midnight. We were down about the second pipeline, we saw the light and we stopped. We watched the light coming up the road towards us, as it got closer, my husband began to drive towards the light.
When the light got right up to the front of the truck, instead of disappearing, the light actually continued up the hood of the truck, thru the cab, and out the back window.
It filled the entire cab with an eerie blue-green light.
Neither of us tried to reach out and touch it, mostly because we had never heard of that happening before.
But as we retold the story to some of our friends, we found that at some of them had experienced the same thing.
I don't know what the light is. I know what they say, I know all the legends. But there is a lot more to the area surrounding Bragg road, than what many people have heard.
Some of the older folks that have grown up out there will tell you stories of things that they have seen and heard that can not be explained. And to me, Bragg road is more than just a neat thing to go and see. There is a lot out there. And most of it is...freaky.
But I do recommend going. I still take my friends up there. And I actually traveled down Bragg last May with some friends from Houston. Unfortunately, we did not see the light, but we will go again.
Thanks for letting me say my piece.
