I grew up in the little town of St. Louis, Saskatchewan, and therefore I have always heard stories about the Phantom Light (Ghost Light). I have been out to the area on many occasions, but have never seen it very well. A few times it would come out faintly, and then disappear just as suddenly as it appeared. My friend and I decided we were going to go out there as often as we could so that we would actually get a chance to see this inexplicable phenomenon. For the past week, we have been going out to look for it every night, and it payed off. The first night that we were there, it appeared very brightly. It was extremely bright, where it was reflecting off of the hood and the windshield of the car. It was triangular, although I have never heard of it being shaped in such a way before. It stayed out, fading once in a while until we left. We went back the next night, and it was out once again. This time it was circular in shape, and when we would flash our headlights at it, it would glow brighter and brighter until it was nearly blinding us it was so bright. On both occasions it ranged from red to orange in colour, and every once in a while it would fade to yellow. It would seem to travel on the path that the railroad tracks used to lie on, and as soon as it would start coming closer, it would go out and then reappear farther down the tracks. We stayed out there for about an hour, and it was with us the whole time. I was skeptical about this phenomenon, but now that I have actually seen it, I have to say I am a believer. There is no way that this light could be caused by traffic, or anything else. It is truly unexplainable, and amazing.
