The Mystery of the Glowing Light in a Michigan Forest Finally Solved After Half a Century, Reports Daily Mail.
On any given night, from the humid foggy evenings of summer to the knee-deep snow days of Michigan’s endless winter, locals and curious tourists can easily be seen gathering at a small clearing near Highway 45 on Robbins Road in the United States.
As the sun sets and night falls, strange glowing orbs begin to appear on a hillside about 8 kilometers away, in a valley outside of Paulding, Michigan. However, if anyone tries to get closer or chase after them, the light vanishes. Although seemingly elusive, this light remains visible and steadily shines in the distance until dawn.
Curious tourists who come to “hunt” the Paulding light, equipped with professional photography gear, have tried for years to capture images of this mysterious phenomenon, but the photos have not been able to explain what they captured.
The Paulding Light has long become a legend in Upper Michigan Peninsula, and finding its source has not been easy. The legend of this mysterious light has been passed down orally and later featured in many television programs as a paranormal phenomenon.
Many people visit this area to witness the mysterious light firsthand.
This phenomenon has attracted the attention of hundreds of people, both locals and paranormal enthusiasts, since it first appeared in the 1960s.
Some ghost hunters believe that the light is the spirit of a railroad worker who died trying to stop an oncoming train, while others claim it is the ghost of an elderly man searching for his missing grandchild.
Every year, numerous visitors flock to this area to see the mysterious light, prompting the U.S. Forest Service to erect a sign indicating that they are in a location known for its strange light.
Despite the speculation surrounding the mysterious light, a group of engineers was determined to uncover the truth.
The mysterious light originates from vehicles traveling on the nearby highway.
In 2010, Jeremy Bos, a recent graduate from the University of Michigan, decided to trace the source of the mysterious light. Bos enlisted the Optical Measurement Engineers Association to help solve the mystery.
Using spectroscopic equipment and a telescope, they determined that the mysterious light originated from vehicles traveling on the nearby highway.
However, locals remained unconvinced. Many accused Bos of robbing them of their joy.
