The Reputed History:
About 40 years ago, a railroad brakeman was killed in this area when he was crushed between two railroad cars, and the spook light is the signal lantern that his ghost waves back and forth. "Nearly every clear evening, strange circular spheres of light dance on the horizon of the tiny community, and at one point seem to follow the pathway of electrical lines. The lights have been captured on film by Michigan Magazine and Channel Six News out of Marquette. Experts from Ripley's have been to the location to examine the phenomenon. At the location of the Paulding lights, the Michigan Forest service has put up signs which indicate the best area from which the lights can be seen. So far, no logical conclusions have been reached. The lights have been witnessed as being red, white and green. These lights are not to be confused with the Northern Lights. They are a phenomenon that is unique to Paulding, Michigan. Locals say the lights have been viewed for a long time. Eye witnesses claim to have seen the lights way back at the turn of the century, while on their way to the train depot at Watersmeet." -- http://www.backwoodswisconsin.com/paulding_light.htm |

| Travel Information: |
| Directions Take U.S 45 north from Watersmeet or south from Paulding Michigan to Robbins Lake Road. Turn left and drive for about a half a mile to the top of the second hill where you will encounter a barricade blocking the road (which is Old U.S. 45). BE CAREFUL! There will probably be a lot of people, so drive slowly. DIM YOUR HEADLIGHTS WHEN YOU TURN OFF OF U.S. 45 and turn them off as soon as possible when you arrive! Your lights will be very annoying to the folks already there. (http://travdestrevue.com/SubDest.asp?sdest=110) |
