I have lived over by the Paulding Light my whole life. And I go there often. There is nothing there that leads me to believe that it is nothing more than ghosts. No swamp gas or Wil-o-wisps could have cause such a mysterious and awestriking light.
When my friends and I went there in the fall of 1999, there was alot to see, and hear for that matter. The light was floating up, up,up into the sky above the power lines. And whoever has been there knows that it does not go high very often. There were alot of people there that night. But they were all quiet respecting the light(it doesn't come out when people are yelling and screaming). When it came up everyone was astounded. But what scared us all the most was the unmistakable sound of a train whistle. People have reported to have heard it, but I was scapticle. I have never heard it before that night. I don;t know why it made that sound then, but it freaked me out. When the light faded, we left.
Many people say that weird things have happened to them on the way home from the light. Well that night an odd thing happened to us. When we pulled out onto the highway, the cd played (still playing) scrolled the words GOOD-BYE. And our cd player is an adapter because the car we were driving was really crappy, and the only thing that works is the volume. And we were all freaked out. We haven't been back there since New Years, but in the spring, the light looks really awesome. So if you want to see it, it's really easy to find, and there are books and movies about it.
