The Bingham Light Continued Pt 2

Hey guys!

I will be taking you back to my "Bingham Light" encounters. To give a bit of backstory on the history of this "ghost light" and my very first encounter with it, you can check one of my past stories titled "The Bingham Light".

The Bingham Light is something that I've been going to see on an irregular basis over the past 14 years being as I live not too far from the location (within 25 minutes away). My first encounter was back in 2010. I have since been out to the sight over 80 times, but so far I've only actually seen the light maybe 7 or 8 times out of all of those visits - including recently.

Within the past 2 1/2 weeks I have been going out to the site and (very surprisingly) I saw the light on each occasion - which makes 3 times, not counting my past sightings.

As I just alluded to, sightings of this light are very rare, but what I've come to notice over the years is that it seems to be more active during the cold winter months. I can not say that this will guarantee any sightings for anyone else who may want to see it around this time, but that's just a pattern I've come to notice. Maybe there is some correlation with this spirit? Perhaps that is when the incident happened that caused the person's death? Or maybe it's something else.

Anyway, to get on with this... There really isn't much of a story or anything significant. I am just simply reporting recent sightings.

So the first time was on December 15th. My younger sister and I decided to go out to the site after we had just got back into town for a night out at the mall and doing other things. However, we didn't see the light on this visit.

The following weekend (December 21st I believe) we went out to the site again. I had just come back into town from an outing and decided to pick her up and take her out there being as there was nothing else going on, and it being rather late.

We didn't have any intentions on seeing the light this time. In fact, after the few times I've taken her out to the location she kind of gave up hope on seeing it because it would never appear during those times. We parked in front of the huge corn field on S. Butler Rd (the main location where the light is often seen) and we just chatted for a while, mostly about paranormal stuff that we've experienced in the past. After a while we finally called out to the light a few times (yelling "Bingham Light, come out!") but like before, it never appeared.

A little later I saw an illumination off in the distance behind us. This was no Bingham Light this time, this was a car coming down the dirt road. It was still a good distance away and only the trees were illuminated faintly from the light. Not knowing who it was or if it were one of the rangers that occasionally patrols the area, I yelled to my sister "Let's get outta here!". We ran back to the car then left quickly!

As we were nearing the end of the dirt road we saw the car behind us, still off in the distance. Not really worried about it any longer as we were far enough ahead of them, I decided to take a left onto the main road (Hwy 34) and go down to the other side at Reedy Springs Ct (another dirt road in the area about a mile or so away).

We parked and I shut all the lights off, then proceeded to call out to the light several times from the windows while we chatted a bit. As a side note, the whole area in itself is creepy without any lights, but Reedy Springs Ct is INCREDIBLY creepy, even more so than over at the S. Butler Rd side in front of the field. I guess because the area over at Reedy Springs Ct is more enclosed by woods and you never know which direction that light is going to come from!

After a while something suddenly caught my eye from the left, startling me. I saw a light slowly gliding through the woods about 10-15 yards ahead. I at first thought it was someone coming out of the woods shining a small flash light so I was about to peel out of there but I stopped. All the while I was yelling to my sister to "LOOK!" "DID YOU SEE THAT?!".

The light was bright and appeared to be a white or light blue color but it didn't shine or illuminate anything around it. It looked as if one of the stars from the sky was hovering a few feet above the ground, and it was gliding at a steady pace. That was the exact appearance.

We watched in awe as the light came out of the woods, but what was weird was that the light disappeared immediately when it got onto the edge of the dirt road, then it immediately appeared directly on the opposite side of the road at the edge of the woods! That part definitely freaked us out! It seemed to just entered the woods and then disappeared, at least for a few moments.

I tried to reason for a moment that maybe it was a firefly, but given the behavior of this light it definitely was not a firefly, and I've seen plenty of those out in that area in the warm months.

We were filled with excitement, and especially my sister as this was her first time finally seeing the light! The light continued to flash in the woods on the right side of the road at various times after that, but this time the light was more "muted" and showed in flashes like it usually did when I seen it before. When it first appeared moments before it wasn't flashing. It was just a steady glow and it was brighter.

My sister called out to the light to "COME HERE!" and after a few minutes it flashed just a few yards from the car on her side! We stayed out there for a bit after that. I even called my older sister and we were reporting what we were seeing. After a while we finally left, satisfied that we seen the light!

On my next visit a week ago I went out to the site again, but this time I was alone. I didn't go over the the field side on this visit being as the dirt roads were still a bit wet from a previous rain. S. Butler Rd has the tendency to bog you down or even slide you off on either side of the road into the deep trenches, but the dirt road on Reedy Springs Ct isn't near as bad.

I parked, shut the lights out, then made the call. After just a few minutes I saw faint flashes to my left in the woods not too far from the car, so I left quickly.

The last time I saw it was just last night. I had just come from a club in North Carolina and it was after 3 going on 4 am. I wasn't quite ready to go home yet so I told myself I would head out that way to kill a little time.

I first drove down to S. Butler Rd to go to the field. At the time I was doing a video documenting the experience live, but the video got cut short due to a malfunction. "No worries" I said.

I didn't bother making the call to the light over at the field side, nor did I see anything, so I drove over to the Reedy Springs Ct side.

After I parked I shut off all the lights and opened my sunroof and made the call to the light about 3 times. It wasn't long after that when I saw a light suddenly appear from the edge of the woods on the right side of the road about 20 yards ahead of me, then the light came out into the road. This time the light appeared bright like it did the time before last when I saw it with my sister. When I saw that I immediately clicked on my headlights and the light was instantly gone - just like that. I decided to leave being as I was alone and not knowing if that light was going to come up on me! Nonetheless, the experience was exhilarating!

So this has been my recent experiences involving this "ghost light". It continues to be something that fascinates me now as much as it did when I very first saw it! No one knows for sure what it is, although it does have a legend behind it. There is no doubt however, that the light is definitely something paranormal, and interesting all the same.
