The Moody Light - Francisville, Indiana

Sitting along a narrow stretch of rural road just outside the town of Francisville, observers are occasionally treated to the sight of a red, yellow, or white ball of light that appears in the distance. According to legend, if you were to flash your car headlights three times, the light will appear and move slowly towards you. There are two explanations locals have for the light. Both involve a farmer named Moody and a tragedy that befell his daughter. In one version of the tale, the farmer’s daughter was kidnapped and killed. When the farmer pursued her captors, he was killed as well. The light is his ghost continuing the search from the afterlife. In the other version, the light belongs to a lantern the farmer held while searching for his daughter. Paranormal researcher Dale Kaczmarek has an alternative explanation. He staked out the road and believes the Moody Light comes from car headlights on a parallel road. At a certain point, the road dips down and turns off at an angle, so the oncoming headlights appear to vanish into the darkness.
