The account
Stories make it a Confederate sentry killed in 1861, a headless soldier with a lantern, or enslaved people hanged from the roadside oaks. The year is an approximate date for the earliest reports.
The sceptical view
No investigation has ruled out headlights; the light is said to disappear when an engine starts.
