Saratoga Light (Bragg Road)
On Bragg Road, a straight dirt track through the Big Thicket of east Texas, drivers report a light that bobs ahead of them and vanishes; it has been talked of since the 1940s.
1940 CE · 30.38, -94.56 · status: claim
The account
The road follows an old railway bed. Legends make the light a beheaded railwayman's lantern or the ghost of a Spanish conquistador guarding gold.
The sceptical view
Researchers have suggested headlights from Highway 787 and marsh gas.
