Our Visit to See the Sand Mountain Ghost Lights

Tommy, Roger and I went to try to find the Sand Mountain Ghost Lights.  We went on September 5th, 2010.  We met in Mt. Sterling at McDonalds and left one car at Walmart, we then headed out of town on SR 460 towards Means.  We drove up and down all the local roads around the Sand Mountain area looking for access to the mountain.  We found that you can't get to the mountain itself without passing through private property.  Also, the roads that do go up on the mountain are old logging type roads, which you couldn't drive a good vehicle up.  So we tried to find a good location to see the mountain and have a good view.  We found a good location along the road was a cemetery which was not closed at night.  We waited there until it was completely dark and scanned the area with our night vision equipment.  After waiting a while we decided to drive up the old roads which we could access to see if we could see anything.  We chose to drive around SR 1050, SR 599 and Lower Spruce Road.  We weren't able to confirm the existence of the lights, but maybe we were in the wrong place or at the wrong time.  If anyone knows of how we can see these lights, please leave a comment and let us know.

It would be good to try to go along the area with a horse and buggy to see if the lights can be provoked into appearing.
