Saratoga, Texas Ghost Tales    The ''Light of Saratoga'' is a legend located in the Big Thicket of Southeast Texas. This legend of a mysterious light is also known as the ''Ghost Road'' of Saratoga, the ''Saratoga Light'', and ''Bragg Road Ghost Light'' by local residents. Located on a dirt road, it is a light that may appear and disappear at random during the dark of night without explanation. The strange light is often described as changing from yellow to white, and sometimes appearing red as it may approach the observer. Some witnesses have observed that the light will sway back-and-forth, as if someone were carrying a lantern and walking. Another common attribute given to the strange light is its unpredictable nature. Some eyewitnesses have attempted to follow or approach the light with no success. However, there are some that claim that the light has actually followed or entered their vehicle while traveling the dirt road at night. There are different beliefs as far as what the ghostly light could be, such as swamp gas and similar natural occurrences. The most popular story surrounding this legend is that a railroad worker was decapitated in a railway accident, and the light is that of his lantern as his ghost searches endlessly for his head. [1]. Ghost picture submitted by Stephen My entry sadly, isn't a sighting, more of a message to people in saratoga that the story of 'the ghost light' has in fact spread far and wide to the tiny village of harthill in yorkshire, England. I'm fascinated by your story, as we also have a mysterious ghost light regularly seen on our railway crossing. However our ghost appears to be that of a signalman who worked in the kiveton park signal box just before the second world war. Details of how the gentleman died are sketchy, but it is common belief he too was hit by a train. The story and legend is now part of our village folklore, and we are infact, quite proud of him!! We pass on our regards to the people of saratoga, and hope, like us, you are just as proud! .
