Paulding Lights, MI

Odometer: 8362.9

Drove to Paulding today to witness the mysterious Pauling light. Since the early 70’s a mysterious light appears in the state forest located in a remote area following the power lines.

The light appears almost every night at dusk and remains visible even during winter snowstorms. There has been scientific studies done to try to figure out what the light is but no one has been able to come up with an answer to the mystery. The local people find the light to be comforting and we spoke with the man that developed the Paulding light web page. http://www.backwoodswisconsin.com/paulding_light.htm http://www.unexplainedresearch.com/files_anomalies/paulding_light.html

He has lived in the area for many years and has witnessed the light in the best and worst weather conditions thereby dispelling the thought that the light is headlight reflections. We went to the locale to get a look and sure enough there it was, first very bright then fading, even changing to a red color at times. There were many people viewing the light and no one has a explanation. It was very eerie, but real. We had binoculars so did get a closer look. The light was bright and looked like it was sparking around the perimeter leading us to think it may be coming off the high tension wires but I guess scientists have disproved that theory. We went back the next morning to get a look at the area in daylight but did not see anything unusual. Then it was back on the road to our next destination.
