I have been going to Pactolus my entire life outside Greenville, NC. I recently caught what I believe to be a ghost light aka orb on video for 30 seconds at around 100 yards away. Catching this Ghost Light on video has changed my life. It makes me want to research every ghost light I have ever heard of. Watch the video at the bottom for yourself and you be the judge...
The story of the light goes like this: The story begins sometime in the early 1900's. A young man rode his horse from Greenville to Pactolus. Pactolus is a small community east of Greenville. At this time, there was a train station in existence in the Pactolus community. The purpose of this trip was to surprise the young man's fiancee by meeting her train. Unfortunately, the train was extremely late this particular evening and the young man was soon alone in the dark. Of course, he really was not alone. His horse was very impressive and caught the attention of three men who were walking along the train tracks. They decided that this was a perfect opportunity to catch a ride rather than walk to their destination. The three men hid in the brush surrounding the train station and as the young man rode by, he was ambushed and killed. The three men hid his body in the thickness of the woods. However, the horse was frightened away and returned to Greenville two days later. The family feared the worse after the horse returned without his rider. They searched the train station and the surrounding area only to find nothing.
The young man's ghost is seen walking beside the train tracks. The form he takes is a single light floating beside the tracks. Sometimes the light floats at waist level (as if he is walking beside his horse) and other times the light floats above the head, as if he is riding his horse). The young man uses the light to let his fiancee know that he was there to meet her.
The tracks have long been removed and all that remains now is a path. The land is now privately owned. Those who go to the area are promptly chased away. This proves the point to always get permission first and limit your party time to private places.
If you think you have seen it all; think again! We are not alone on in the tar heel state...
I have caught this ghost light on film over 15 with a Sony DVX 2100 Mini DV Recorder. High Quality Footage...
