And then this light just kept getting closer and kind of danced in front of us. That was when I got kind of paranoid. We wanted to get away from it. It kept bouncing along beside us and on us and over us, circled around us. Aside from such human mishaps, I've heard no stories of the light harming anyone.
Most local residents seem to coexist easily with the phenomenon.
I never paid much attention to it. Yet many visitors have watched for it in vain, and a couple living near the Spooklight area on State Line for 37 years have never seen it. During the 1980s, Ralph and Josie Bilke lived on the north side of E 50, one-eighth mile back from the road. It was the Spooklight, and it just lit up our bedroom. It was right on our porch, and then it went out.
