It was a pitch-dark night and we were out for a walk when suddenly a bright white light came from the train tracks it was getting closer and closer before it reached the woods and suddenly faded away in the distance this story told by hundreds of witnesses sounded quite normal until you find out those train tracks have long been abandoned and torn out the last train that could have been the source of the light had departed many years ago the mysterious ghost train became the main site of St Louis a little village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan just around 400 people are living there and hundreds visit it to see the St Louis light it was featured in books and online and was on TV shows like Unsolved Mysteries for decades no one could explain what it really was some people spotted a white light others said they'd seen a red one an urban legend explained the red light was a lantern carried by a ghost of a train conductor who had lost his life one night examining the tracks scientists tried to debunk both ghost involving theories but failed then two high school students from northern Saskatchewan decided to jump in they first witnessed the ghost train on a road trip to St Louis one of the girls said it must have been car headlights but she needed evidence to prove that together with her friend and she decided to find an answer and make it their science field project they made several field trips to St Louis to research the Young Ghostbusters used a detailed map a compass and a GPS which was pretty rare back in 2001 the girls found the location from where the ghost light was seen best of all then they drew a straight line on the map to where the light was coming from and marked all roads next to or on the line one of the girl's father agreed to help them he parked his car at various locations near the lines and flashed his headlights the girls didn't see them as all the places seemed to be too low finally, they found a short Hilltop Highway stretch for 20 minutes the dad was flashing his lights on and off and every time the lights went on the girls could spot the ghost train when he turned the car around they saw the mysterious red light as well the spot was rather far away from the track so it was possible to see it thanks to diffraction the light passed through a little opening maybe the trees and became larger the SMART Girls received gold medals at the science fair for their project 10 years later a similar story happened in Anson Texas each night the locals noticed a mysterious light at one spot of the highway they called it Anson light and believed it was a mother with a lantern searching for her son he'd disappeared in a snowstorm a long time ago his mom went looking for him and never came back either a group of students didn't believe this beautiful story and decided to find the source of light with their iPhones they followed Google Maps down the dirt road to a highway that they thought to be the light source halfway to the light it was already clear it was really coming from cars and not a mother with a lantern.
