| "It is a mysterious experience. One night while our car was parked on "Spook Light" road.the light came over our car with a zoom, and the car shook like a diesel truck had passed us on the highway! Everyone should see it. Also, a man that ran a gas station, told me that years ago, a traveler's horse stopped for a drink in the little creek on "Spook Light" road. When suddenly the light appeared, the horse stopped drinking water to look." Calypso's (My), mom |
| "I think it's a fallen angel trying to get back to heaven." Calypso's (My) dad |
| "Halts Bus - While coming home from a school carnival in Quapaw Oklahoma, we got the thrill of our lives. The light had evidently grown tired and weary and decided to do a little hitch-hiking on our bus. The light perched on the rear window as though trying to get into our bus. We were half scared to death -- women screaming and all. The light was so bright it temporarily blinded the bus driver and he had to stop the bus. Just as we stopped, the light went away. I'll never forget that bus ride." Louis Graham, Route 1, Galena, Kansas |
| "Fun and Failure" (Shortened) "...a group of students from Michigan University came down and camped out for 2 weeks in the vicinity of the "Spook Light." Of course they found nothing about the source of the light, and that "A number of times we have left people in a parked car and walked down the road a mile or so, only to have the light appear between us and the car." Charles Miller, Joplin |
| "A motorist tells of driving toward the "Spook Light" until it vanished, then finding it behind him. The strange glowing, floating ball remains one of the few things left on earth which defies all efforts to strip it of its mysticism." Springfield News Leader -- An article by Joe Clayton -- |
| "I've lived around Quapaw for 61 years. I've seen a number of teams investigating the source of the "Ghost Light," but none of them have ever found out what it is. I was here before there were any cars in this district and the "Ghost Light" was there then. Leonard Stoner Quapaw |
| "I don't know what it is or why it's there. I think God put it there for a reason." Florence Robertson, Hawkins Texas |
| "ALL I GOT IS THE FACTS, MAN! -- "I ain't been and I ain't going!" Frank Allen, Jr. Joplin Missouri |
| "I've heard about the "Spook Light" since I was a little girl. I am 60 years old now, and have never been to see that light honey, and another little verse behind that one: I'm not going out there either." My sister's landlady in 1967 spoken to me, calypso |
