"The Elizaville Ghost Light"

When I was 18 or 19 years old. I was driving home from a movie with a couple of friends. We were driving through a small town called Elizaville, Kentucky. It was very late, or should I say early in the morning and all I wanted to do was to get home and rest. As I drove through the town, I didn't slow down to the posted 35 mph speed limit. I was actually going about 70 or so, which is above the 55 mph highway limit. As I crossed through the center of town under a flashing caution light, I noticed second flashing light in my rear view mirror. I said, "that's it, I'm busted". I began to slow down going up the hill on the East side of town, as I did the light kept getting closer and closer to the rear of the car. When I saw the light wasn't going to stop, I maneuvered the car as close to the curb as I could. Then, the light went over the top of the car and shot straight up, like a missile until it was out of sight. My friends and I were now quite awake and were unsure as to what had happen to us. We talked about the light the rest of the trip and occasionally there after. No one wanted to believe us. I don't know what the light was, some say it may have been ball lighting. It had several colors in it, yellow, red, blue and green. I don't know where it went, but I do slow down going through that town nowadays.

The Cowan Short Tunnel

In Cowan, Kentucky, there are 2 rail road tunnels. The short tunnel, has had reports of ghost appearing in and around it. Reportedly, a young woman fell to her death from land above the tunnel. Supposedly, she was pregnant and wasn't married. I have not been able to verify this claim, but several people from around the area told it to me. We investigated the tunnel several times and had several positive images appear in pictures, mostly being orbs. However, we have one very strange photo which we cannot explain.


Some people claim to see faces in the image. Others, don't see any thing. Use your own judgement.
If you go: know that the area has been posted as "No Tresspassing" since we went there several years ago, but it is a scary place. The rail road is still functional, and you should be very careful not to get trapped in the tunnel when a train arrives.

What are orbs?

Orbs are thought to be the gathering of energy for a ghost to appear. The stronger the light in the orb, the more energy it has. Some orbs have different colors. Some think a red orb is an evil spirit, where that a white orb is a good spirit. Either way, you can get lot's of orbs from many other sources. NOT ALL ORBS ARE GHOST!!! If you are in a dusty environment, you can have many orbs in a photo, but probably none of them are a ghost. Some orbs may be bugs. Just keep in mind what was going on at the time the photo was taken. For instance... if you are calling upon a spirit to appear, and you photograph an orb, it may be a spirit. Just keep in mind that you should use good judgement as to whether the orb could be a spirit. I recommend that you can keep some false orbs down, by, photographing after there has been a killing frost. Most bugs die or go dormant at that time. Don't photograph in barns or other dusty area which may create false orbs. Either way, have a lot of fun with you ghost hunting and let me know if you get any good evidence.

My Cousin's Visitor

My mother always told me of a story of one of my cousins who had moved into an old large house in Lexington, Kentucky. Every night after the girl went to bed, she would have the ghost of a woman come out of the closet and set on the foot of her bed. This continued for several nights. The girl was of course afraid at first, but then grew use to the apparition. One night the woman came out and set on the foot of the bed, the girl ask "Can I see your baby?". Afterward, the woman got up and went back into the closet. The girl never saw the woman again.

I wonder why the woman never came back. I think that the woman might have died, giving birth to a child, possibly in that room. I think she was waiting on getting to show someone her baby. Then could move on afterward.
