We don't know if these things 6 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:18,960 are some sort of ultra dimensional things. 7 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,840 Some people think they're ghost. Some people think these things 8 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,000 are a longstanding UFO phenomena, and we find the 9 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,830 Oklahoma spook lights. I mean, they're a mysterious and 10 00:00:28,830 --> 00:00:31,870 captivating phenomenon. They're characterized by these 11 00:00:31,910 --> 00:00:36,830 inexplicable recurring lights that appear in a remote area 12 00:00:36,830 --> 00:00:38,990 near the town of Quapaw, Oklahoma. 13 00:00:39,510 --> 00:00:42,510 And now they do appear in other places across the US But right 14 00:00:42,510 --> 00:00:45,670 now we're talking about these once here in Oklahoma, and these 15 00:00:45,670 --> 00:00:48,430 elusive lights. They've intrigued and puzzled 16 00:00:48,430 --> 00:00:50,950 residents and visitors for generations. 17 00:00:51,430 --> 00:00:54,790 Now they manifest as glowing orbs or eerie luminous 18 00:00:54,790 --> 00:00:59,750 formations in the night sky, and despite numerous scientific 19 00:00:59,750 --> 00:01:02,710 investigations and local legends that try to explain their 20 00:01:02,710 --> 00:01:05,670 origin, the source of these lights is still elusive. 21 00:01:06,430 --> 00:01:09,590 Kind of adds an element of intrigue to this really enduring 22 00:01:09,590 --> 00:01:12,350 natural mystery. Now from the historical counts 23 00:01:12,350 --> 00:01:15,830 of Oklahoma spook lights. They date back over a century at 24 00:01:15,830 --> 00:01:18,790 least, and they're shrouded in mystery and folklore. 25 00:01:19,630 --> 00:01:22,990 Located near the small town Quapaw in northeastern Oklahoma, 26 00:01:22,990 --> 00:01:26,750 this natural phenomena has fascinated and bewildered 27 00:01:26,750 --> 00:01:30,190 generations of observers, and the earliest documented 28 00:01:30,190 --> 00:01:32,750 sightings of the spook lights take back to the late 19th 29 00:01:32,750 --> 00:01:35,470 century, least as far as you know. 30 00:01:35,470 --> 00:01:38,910 Modern civilization knows, and these reports emerged as far 31 00:01:38,910 --> 00:01:42,350 back as the 1860s, and the lights typically appear in a 32 00:01:42,350 --> 00:01:45,030 secluded area known as the Devil's Promenade. 33 00:01:45,550 --> 00:01:49,070 This is an expansive, remote countryside near the Oklahoma, 34 00:01:49,070 --> 00:01:51,870 Missouri border. You may have heard about these 35 00:01:51,870 --> 00:01:54,350 lights happening in and around Joplin, MO as well. 36 00:01:54,910 --> 00:01:58,630 So local Native American tribes, including the Osage and Quapaw, 37 00:01:58,630 --> 00:02:02,030 have long held that these legends about these mysterious 38 00:02:02,030 --> 00:02:04,630 lights attributing them to the spirits of lost warriors or 39 00:02:04,630 --> 00:02:07,550 other supernatural entities. It's kind of what we've seen 40 00:02:07,550 --> 00:02:10,229 happen down there, Georgia and North Carolina. 41 00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:13,460 But a lot of the natives say, hey, these are the women, the 42 00:02:13,460 --> 00:02:16,500 wives of the warriors that died in these long ago battles. 43 00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:19,580 And you kind of see the same thing happening here, these, 44 00:02:19,860 --> 00:02:25,260 these native folklore rising up around this, these operations, 45 00:02:25,260 --> 00:02:26,740 phenomena, whatever you want to call them. 46 00:02:27,420 --> 00:02:30,060 And one of the most significantly early accounts 47 00:02:30,060 --> 00:02:33,620 comes from a quapaw settler named Jake Vanneman in the early 48 00:02:33,620 --> 00:02:36,500 20th century. Vannemann claimed to have seen 49 00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:40,980 the lights in the early 1900s and reported them to be eerily 50 00:02:40,980 --> 00:02:45,050 bright and capable of performing bizarre maneuvers. 51 00:02:45,410 --> 00:02:48,650 His account sparked the interest of both locals and scientists 52 00:02:48,650 --> 00:02:52,650 alike, leading to the first organized investigations into 53 00:02:52,650 --> 00:02:55,770 the phenomena. Of course, this is 1900, so you 54 00:02:55,770 --> 00:02:57,730 can be pretty sure they weren't drones back then. 55 00:02:58,290 --> 00:03:01,130 So over the years, numerous researchers, journalists, and 56 00:03:01,210 --> 00:03:04,570 paranormal enthusiasts have visited the area to witness and 57 00:03:04,570 --> 00:03:07,970 study the spook lights. Now these investigators yielded 58 00:03:07,970 --> 00:03:10,650 various theories, including suggestions that the lights were 59 00:03:11,140 --> 00:03:14,500 reflections from passing trains, atmospheric anomalies, or 60 00:03:14,580 --> 00:03:18,100 geological processes. But none of these explanations 61 00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:21,580 provided a definitive answer. And The thing is, you'll even 62 00:03:21,580 --> 00:03:25,060 find articles online saying, you know, spook lights debunked. 63 00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:29,340 Well, they just love to put this whole debunking thing out here, 64 00:03:29,340 --> 00:03:32,260 even when whatever they're trying to debunk hasn't been 65 00:03:32,260 --> 00:03:35,020 close to debunked. So the Oklahoma spook lights 66 00:03:35,020 --> 00:03:38,140 became a subject of national tension in the mid 20th century. 67 00:03:38,140 --> 00:03:41,200 You know, in the 50s and 60s when they were featured and 68 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,080 publications and documentaries. Now one notable investigation of 69 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,040 all scientists from the US Geological Society who conducted 70 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,400 research in the area but weren't able to reach the conclusive 71 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,760 explanation. Throughout the decades, the 72 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,480 spook lights have continued to appear intermittently and 73 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,440 captivating. New generations of curious 74 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,200 onlookers and local residents have embraced the phenomena and 75 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,680 it has become part of the community's identity, even 76 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,560 inspiring an annual festival celebrating the lights. 77 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,320 And we see that a lot with these UFO phenomena. 78 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,190 Where, you know, local businesses try to exploit it a 79 00:04:13,190 --> 00:04:15,630 little bit, but that's fine, I think, because it helps bring 80 00:04:15,630 --> 00:04:18,709 awareness to these things. Now, to this day, the Oklahoma 81 00:04:18,709 --> 00:04:23,110 spook lights remain an unsolved mystery and they defy 82 00:04:23,110 --> 00:04:25,790 explanation. Add to the rich tapestry of this 83 00:04:25,790 --> 00:04:29,550 area for the American folklore. Whether they are the product of 84 00:04:29,550 --> 00:04:32,830 natural forces or something more otherworldly, these lights 85 00:04:32,830 --> 00:04:35,590 continue to ignite the imagination and curiosity of 86 00:04:35,590 --> 00:04:39,070 those who ventured a witness or mesmerizing display. 87 00:04:39,490 --> 00:04:42,690 And they really are something. Now I want to look at this first 88 00:04:42,690 --> 00:04:45,730 article here from onlyinyourstate.com and it talks 89 00:04:45,730 --> 00:04:48,250 a little bit about it and it's kind of going with the tourism 90 00:04:48,250 --> 00:04:50,530 side. It says the mysterious Oklahoma 91 00:04:50,530 --> 00:04:53,010 Rd. You absolutely must drive at 92 00:04:53,010 --> 00:04:59,650 least once, and this was came out November 17th, 2022, it says 93 00:04:59,650 --> 00:05:02,970 by Ashley. There are many mysteries in 94 00:05:02,970 --> 00:05:07,330 Oklahoma, and one of them lies on East 50th St. in the small 95 00:05:07,330 --> 00:05:10,930 town of Peoria. Also known as Spook Light Rd. 96 00:05:11,370 --> 00:05:14,930 this mysterious Rd. has a long and confirmed history of 97 00:05:14,930 --> 00:05:17,250 unexplained lights flashing in the distance. 98 00:05:17,730 --> 00:05:20,930 It's baffled visitors and scientists for over half a 99 00:05:20,930 --> 00:05:24,010 century, and everyone should drive on it at least once in 100 00:05:24,010 --> 00:05:27,690 their lifetime. Is this weird area really a 101 00:05:27,690 --> 00:05:31,170 haunted Rd. in Oklahoma? And then it says take a look. 102 00:05:31,490 --> 00:05:33,490 It's got a little map here, You can see this. 103 00:05:34,690 --> 00:05:36,570 I'll go ahead and I'll put a link to this on the Buy Me a 104 00:05:36,570 --> 00:05:38,370 Coffee website. It's got some pictures here from 105 00:05:38,370 --> 00:05:42,730 back in the 50s and it's got this, a couple ladies here and 106 00:05:42,730 --> 00:05:46,090 they're actually standing there taking a picture of this looks 107 00:05:46,090 --> 00:05:48,650 like 2 orbs, a large one on top and then a small one on the 108 00:05:48,650 --> 00:05:50,570 bottom. It says no one can give an 109 00:05:50,570 --> 00:05:53,330 accurate account of where the lights come from, nor can any 110 00:05:53,330 --> 00:05:56,010 two people describe the lights in the same words. 111 00:05:56,410 --> 00:05:59,170 And that's interesting. So oftentimes, these types of 112 00:05:59,610 --> 00:06:02,110 phenomenon almost are personalized. 113 00:06:02,430 --> 00:06:04,710 Definitely there's something going on here with the observer 114 00:06:04,710 --> 00:06:07,070 effect. Now, I tell us, Despite 115 00:06:07,070 --> 00:06:09,710 thousands of hours of combined research, scientific evidence 116 00:06:09,710 --> 00:06:12,950 explaining the strange phenomenon cause still remains 117 00:06:12,950 --> 00:06:15,590 inconclusive. Some people think the lights are 118 00:06:15,590 --> 00:06:18,630 paranormal activities, Others think it could be aliens. 119 00:06:18,630 --> 00:06:20,870 But no matter what you think, it's a hair raising experience 120 00:06:20,990 --> 00:06:22,590 to drive down the road after dirt. 121 00:06:23,390 --> 00:06:26,990 During World War 2, the US Army Corps of Engineers spent weeks 122 00:06:26,990 --> 00:06:30,070 in the area with the latest scientific equipment. 123 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,040 They left just as baffled as when they arrived. 124 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,280 Despite thousands of hours of combined research, scientific 125 00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:39,480 evidence explaining the strange, phenomenal cause still remains 126 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,520 inconclusive. If you enjoy visiting mysterious 127 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,480 places, make sure you visit this road on on the Oklahoma, 128 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,920 Missouri border.

Now it says directions to spook 130 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,400 Light road and then it gives you the directions here. 131 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,640 When it comes to mysterys in Oklahoma, this is pretty 132 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,360 intriguing. And then it goes on down here 133 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,480 has some more list of things you can do there. 134 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,960 The pictures are great on this site. 135 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,080 It just show us that this has been going on for you know 136 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,960 50-60, seventy years just in modern times. 137 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,160 Now I found some mention of us on Reddit and it was kind of fun 138 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,480 to just go through and look at the comments that people made 139 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,000 that had been from from around there. 140 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:22,960 And the contributor on this is is Blitz Baller. 141 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,520 And it says the spook light a mysterious visual phenomena 142 00:07:27,030 --> 00:07:30,550 allegedly experienced by witnesses in a small area known 143 00:07:30,550 --> 00:07:34,190 as the Devil's Promenade on the border between southwestern 144 00:07:34,190 --> 00:07:37,910 Missouri and northeast Oklahoma. And so they got a pretty old 145 00:07:37,910 --> 00:07:41,190 picture here. This is this post is from quite 146 00:07:41,190 --> 00:07:42,910 a while ago, actually nine years ago. 147 00:07:43,230 --> 00:07:44,870 And you can go take a look. Like I said, I'll put it in the 148 00:07:44,870 --> 00:07:47,070 Buy me a coffee website. As always, thanks to the people 149 00:07:47,070 --> 00:07:51,360 that contribute over there, and if you're listening, do me a 150 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,720 favor and hit the like, subscribe, follow button, 151 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,560 whatever platform you're on. It really helps your program. 152 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,440 Now this says I've gone hunting for that one before. 153 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,080 I never saw it, but my father claims he has. 154 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,480 There is a specific Rd. in Hornet that is supposed to be on 155 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,680 supposed to be on that cars line up most summer nights, but the 156 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,440 original Rd. it was seen on is much harder to find. 157 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,610 The original Rd. There used to be a home that the 158 00:08:18,610 --> 00:08:22,130 owner turned into a Museum of the Spook light, but I believe 159 00:08:22,170 --> 00:08:25,730 someone else owns that house and chases people off that come 160 00:08:25,730 --> 00:08:28,050 looking for the Spook light. Where The museum? 161 00:08:28,570 --> 00:08:30,530 Yeah, you find out. Sometimes these things that end 162 00:08:30,530 --> 00:08:33,370 up appearing over prior property and people don't appreciate big 163 00:08:33,370 --> 00:08:36,690 crowds out there, I suppose. Now this one here says my father 164 00:08:36,690 --> 00:08:40,370 lives just a cross 144 from the Spook Rd. 165 00:08:41,010 --> 00:08:43,530 It does not stay confined to just one Rd. 166 00:08:44,049 --> 00:08:47,210 The thing followed us home one time on down a dirt Rd. that 167 00:08:47,210 --> 00:08:51,850 parallels the Interstate until we turned on his road and it 168 00:08:51,850 --> 00:08:54,730 stayed as heavily coarse. This might seem to support the 169 00:08:54,730 --> 00:08:57,410 headlight theory spotted in this thread, but there's no 170 00:08:57,410 --> 00:09:00,250 explanation for things I've heard and even felt out there 171 00:09:01,050 --> 00:09:03,410 past the end of that same Rd. where he lives. 172 00:09:03,890 --> 00:09:07,250 Over the gate across an old wagon trail littered with 173 00:09:07,250 --> 00:09:09,730 arrowheads and half disintegrated cook pots in a 174 00:09:09,730 --> 00:09:13,200 mattress frame that the mature tree has grown through, there's 175 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,680 a small cemetery that is reported you have a witch is 176 00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:20,360 grave being out there at night. I feel as if I'm one of the few 177 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,880 men who have dared to be there past dark in 100 years, but I 178 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,480 can't help but feel as my presence is barely being 179 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,360 tolerated. It's as if my family has a 180 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,240 tentative lease on our land there, and it is actually, and 181 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,680 it actually belongs to older things. 182 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,400 I've never seen anything out there in the superstitious vein 183 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,160 beside the spook light, to be sure, but there. 184 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,480 Or a shirt. But there is assuredly I have 185 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,320 heard things. Metallic screeches there have no 186 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,000 that have no business so far from people. 187 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,520 And so late at night I put my girlfriend to crying and me 188 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,400 scampering inside for a gun. When I came back out I followed 189 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,440 the sound as it shrunk into the woods down the wagon trail. 190 00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:02,760 My father is half mad and claims to be haunted by some two dozen 191 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,640 ghosts out there. The whole area of Devil's 192 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,000 Promenade is littered with landmarks bearing the Devil's 193 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,750 name or signature of fire, The Devil's Biscuits, the Devil's 194 00:10:10,750 --> 00:10:13,310 Promenade itself. When the Quapaws were forcibly 195 00:10:13,350 --> 00:10:17,030 removed to this place, they saw the Devil promenading on a high 196 00:10:17,030 --> 00:10:20,470 bluff across the water and many drowned as they tried to Ford 197 00:10:20,470 --> 00:10:23,230 the river there. The Hoffman Mansion that burned 198 00:10:23,230 --> 00:10:26,190 down after the inhabitants died like so many other houses in 199 00:10:26,190 --> 00:10:28,830 this area, which seems to relish a good fire. 200 00:10:29,390 --> 00:10:33,090 Little People's Bridge, which is in Devil's Hollow said to be 201 00:10:33,090 --> 00:10:35,370 watched over. But what by what Indians call 202 00:10:35,370 --> 00:10:39,330 little people and what my loon father calls three people always 203 00:10:39,490 --> 00:10:42,610 feeding from his property. I have come across apparent 204 00:10:42,610 --> 00:10:46,250 animal sacrifices in Devil's Hollow near the mansion once on 205 00:10:46,250 --> 00:10:49,610 Friday the 13th. Nonetheless, in this corner of 206 00:10:49,610 --> 00:10:53,210 the state and the Ozark foothills, you are not welcome. 207 00:10:53,210 --> 00:10:55,890 If my father doesn't scare you off, the witch will curse you 208 00:10:55,890 --> 00:10:57,810 from hell. The little people will hurry you 209 00:10:57,810 --> 00:10:59,050 and steal off from your property. 210 00:10:59,410 --> 00:11:02,910 The spook light will spook you. Ghost wagons will make you Pete 211 00:11:02,910 --> 00:11:06,150 yourself. If you're even more unfortunate, 212 00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:08,390 you might cross paths with the devil himself, dancing between 213 00:11:08,390 --> 00:11:10,550 the Spring River and the desecrated graveyard at the 214 00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:13,710 burnt runs of the mansion. Yeah, it sounds like kind of an 215 00:11:13,710 --> 00:11:16,990 unfairly place, and that's one person's experience, another 216 00:11:16,990 --> 00:11:19,470 person says. Despite the despite the fact 217 00:11:19,470 --> 00:11:22,230 that it is named after a small unincorporated community, 218 00:11:22,230 --> 00:11:26,950 unincorporated community in Missouri from which it most from 219 00:11:26,950 --> 00:11:30,720 which it is most commonly accessed, the light is most 220 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,160 commonly described as being visible from inside the Oklahoma 221 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,600 border. Looking to the West, the spook 222 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,680 light is commonly described as a single ball of light or tight 223 00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:45,640 grouping of lights that is said to appear in the area regularly, 224 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,240 usually at night. Although the description of the 225 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,360 light is similar to that of other visual phenomena witnessed 226 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,160 throughout the world, the term spook light when standing alone 227 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,720 generally refers to this specific case. 228 00:11:59,270 --> 00:12:02,390 Numerous legends exist that attempt to describe the origin 229 00:12:02,390 --> 00:12:05,310 of the spook light, one of which involves the ghost of two young 230 00:12:05,310 --> 00:12:07,430 Native American lovers looking for each other. 231 00:12:08,150 --> 00:12:11,310 Explanation for the light's appearance very widely from the 232 00:12:11,310 --> 00:12:14,990 extraordinary to the mundane. The area of Oklahoma in which 233 00:12:14,990 --> 00:12:18,670 the light is seen is very hilly and forested, and out to the 234 00:12:18,670 --> 00:12:22,070 West of where the light is seen lights Interstate 44. 235 00:12:22,630 --> 00:12:25,390 It has been suggested that the headlights of cars seen over the 236 00:12:25,390 --> 00:12:28,610 hills explain lights appearance, which is sometimes said to Bob 237 00:12:28,610 --> 00:12:31,690 up and down and dance, or even split into two multiple globes 238 00:12:31,690 --> 00:12:34,090 of light. And William Lease heats at 239 00:12:34,090 --> 00:12:38,330 Moon's 2008 book Roads to Quiz. The author suggests that the 240 00:12:38,330 --> 00:12:41,290 lights seen at the end of E50 are explained perfectly by the 241 00:12:41,290 --> 00:12:44,370 fact that the road lines directly with Route 66, the 242 00:12:44,370 --> 00:12:47,570 Interstate in the River Valley below, some 10 miles apart. 243 00:12:47,570 --> 00:12:51,630 He also claims that the earlier lights of the the light from E40 244 00:12:51,630 --> 00:12:54,430 Road one block to the north are explained by an earlier 245 00:12:54,430 --> 00:12:57,390 alignment of Route 66 to the north to town of Quapaw, 246 00:12:58,150 --> 00:13:00,590 Oklahoma and also aligned with E40 Road. 247 00:13:00,670 --> 00:13:03,590 The author suggests that there are no reliable sightings of the 248 00:13:03,590 --> 00:13:07,350 light in any location but directly W along the road and 249 00:13:07,350 --> 00:13:10,550 therefore explainable by the Route 66 connection. 250 00:13:11,550 --> 00:13:14,110 Well, the problem I have with this is a lot of times you got 251 00:13:14,110 --> 00:13:16,710 these debunkers that come along and they'll just ignore the 252 00:13:16,710 --> 00:13:18,350 evidence that doesn't agree with them. 253 00:13:19,250 --> 00:13:22,810 And so when they say no other reliable accounts, they're not 254 00:13:22,810 --> 00:13:26,530 giving you any information to show that every single account 255 00:13:26,530 --> 00:13:28,730 that was presented to them was unreliable. 256 00:13:28,730 --> 00:13:33,050 So I I question that part of the explanation because Honest has 257 00:13:33,050 --> 00:13:36,290 one Legend details an old lost miner and the spook light is 258 00:13:36,290 --> 00:13:39,250 actually his Lantern. This explanation results from 259 00:13:39,250 --> 00:13:42,690 the spook light, situated in an area with a past of intense lead 260 00:13:42,690 --> 00:13:45,610 and zinc biting in southwest Missouri and northeast Oklahoma. 261 00:13:46,470 --> 00:13:49,750 However, most people prefer to state that they cannot explain 262 00:13:49,750 --> 00:13:52,870 the almost nightly appearance of mysterious lights in the area, 263 00:13:53,230 --> 00:13:56,670 and descriptions of the lights date back to an era prior to the 264 00:13:56,670 --> 00:13:59,670 highways construction. Other explanations for the 265 00:13:59,670 --> 00:14:02,990 lights appearance include atmospheric gases being affected 266 00:14:02,990 --> 00:14:05,790 by electrical fields. A University of Arkansas 267 00:14:05,790 --> 00:14:08,710 professor studied the light 1960s and suggested that it was 268 00:14:08,710 --> 00:14:12,430 from a fixed object. Well, that seems interesting 269 00:14:12,430 --> 00:14:14,130 too. And then we'll finish up with 270 00:14:14,130 --> 00:14:16,530 this article here from farmersalmanac.com. 271 00:14:16,530 --> 00:14:20,210 It says the Spook Light. This creepy glowing orb might 272 00:14:20,210 --> 00:14:22,930 give you nightmares. The mysterious flickering light 273 00:14:22,930 --> 00:14:25,570 that appears in the back woods of Missouri might just have you 274 00:14:25,570 --> 00:14:28,050 spooked. What exactly is the Spook Light? 275 00:14:28,290 --> 00:14:30,610 Find out if you dare. And this is dated October 18th, 276 00:14:30,610 --> 00:14:33,770 2022. One of the oddest and weirdest 277 00:14:33,770 --> 00:14:35,570 stories in the heartland of America is that of the Spook 278 00:14:35,570 --> 00:14:37,850 Light, a glowing orb that appears near the border of 279 00:14:37,850 --> 00:14:41,930 Missouri and Oklahoma in an area known as the Devil's Promenade. 280 00:14:42,510 --> 00:14:45,870 The bouncing, colorful light has been a mystery for hundreds of 281 00:14:45,870 --> 00:14:47,630 years. So what's behind this eerie 282 00:14:47,630 --> 00:14:50,830 phenomena? The light is also known as the 283 00:14:50,830 --> 00:14:54,230 Devil's Jack, Lantern Hornet Spook Light, Hall of Light, and 284 00:14:54,230 --> 00:14:56,510 the Joplin Spook Light. But each of these names gives 285 00:14:56,510 --> 00:14:58,270 you the rough idea. It's spooky. 286 00:14:58,950 --> 00:15:01,030 The Spook Light has been witnessed by Native Americans 287 00:15:01,030 --> 00:15:04,390 and others since the early 1830s, during the days of the 288 00:15:04,390 --> 00:15:07,070 Trail of Tears. Now think about that. 289 00:15:07,070 --> 00:15:09,550 People have been seeing this thing since the early 1830s. 290 00:15:09,990 --> 00:15:13,280 You know, 200 years. Almost probably not cars. 291 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,800 No one knows for sure what the spook light actually is, but it 292 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,000 is commonly described as a single ball of light or type 293 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,280 grouping of lights varying in size from the size of baseball 294 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,640 to the size of basketball that appears to be in the area 295 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,520 frequently, usually at night, no matter the time of year. 296 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,640 So we'd probably call these things orbs. 297 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,160 Maybe in the UFO type orb. Sometimes a ball of light 298 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,320 remains still. Other times it moves with active 299 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,020 vibration. Folklore and legends say it's 300 00:15:40,020 --> 00:15:42,300 either the devil with the Lantern warning the earth, or 301 00:15:42,300 --> 00:15:43,820 the soul of a Confederate soldier. 302 00:15:44,220 --> 00:15:47,060 Another tale involves a ghost of two young Native American lovers 303 00:15:47,060 --> 00:15:48,820 searching for each other in the night sky. 304 00:15:49,740 --> 00:15:51,940 One of the earliest written reports of the spook light was 305 00:15:51,940 --> 00:15:54,180 in 1936 from the Kansas City Star. 306 00:15:54,540 --> 00:15:56,900 Though the legend has been around for almost 100 years 307 00:15:56,900 --> 00:16:00,750 before its official documentation say what causes 308 00:16:00,750 --> 00:16:02,750 the spook light? Well, some speculate that it 309 00:16:02,750 --> 00:16:05,550 could be anything from natural gas leak out of the earth to car 310 00:16:05,550 --> 00:16:07,870 lights in the distance reflecting off a river a few 311 00:16:07,870 --> 00:16:10,590 miles away. However, these strange lights 312 00:16:10,590 --> 00:16:14,390 have been reported since the 1880s, before cars, and it was 313 00:16:14,390 --> 00:16:16,350 over the land and even in the backyards. 314 00:16:16,750 --> 00:16:21,030 In 1946, a team of investigators from the US Army Corps of 315 00:16:21,030 --> 00:16:24,430 Engineers study the Spook Light, but there were no concrete 316 00:16:24,430 --> 00:16:27,630 findings that seemed a logical source for the orb. 317 00:16:28,150 --> 00:16:30,230 Right now, you would think that if the government investigated 318 00:16:30,230 --> 00:16:32,150 this and there was any way they could have debunked that, they 319 00:16:32,150 --> 00:16:35,670 would have, and then talks a little bit about the attractions 320 00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:36,950 here. It says the Spook light is very 321 00:16:36,950 --> 00:16:38,910 popular, especially around Halloween. 322 00:16:39,150 --> 00:16:42,430 Automobile transportation made it possible for even more people 323 00:16:42,430 --> 00:16:45,070 to visit these rumored haunted country roads. 324 00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:47,790 Curiosity seekers have been coming from far and wide for 325 00:16:47,790 --> 00:16:51,110 years trying to spook themselves, and witnesses and 326 00:16:51,110 --> 00:16:53,510 witnesses spook light first hand and the day. 327 00:16:53,510 --> 00:16:56,500 If you pull into southwest Missouri, the odds of someone 328 00:16:56,500 --> 00:16:58,460 being able to give you the proper direction to the 329 00:16:58,460 --> 00:16:59,860 mysterious lights are pretty high. 330 00:17:01,460 --> 00:17:03,900 And it's got a couple couple good pictures here. 331 00:17:03,940 --> 00:17:07,579 This is something that we see. It kind of goes on through the 332 00:17:07,579 --> 00:17:09,140 southern United States especially. 333 00:17:09,140 --> 00:17:12,540 It's these odd, strange or glowing lights that show up 334 00:17:12,819 --> 00:17:15,339 sometimes singularly in this case, or maybe one or two. 335 00:17:15,740 --> 00:17:18,579 Sometimes they'll be maybe a half a dozen or a dozen them, 336 00:17:18,579 --> 00:17:21,260 like we see down there in North Carolina and West Virginia. 337 00:17:23,109 --> 00:17:27,630 Whatever is happening, it hasn't been properly documented as a 338 00:17:27,630 --> 00:17:32,110 natural phenomenon. They'll try to say it as cars or 339 00:17:32,110 --> 00:17:34,230 trains, even when it's nowhere near a highway. 340 00:17:34,230 --> 00:17:36,710 Sometimes it's near a highway, but that highway wasn't there 341 00:17:36,710 --> 00:17:38,430 100 years ago. When when they begin seeing 342 00:17:38,430 --> 00:17:41,790 these things, some people go for the paranormal explanation, I 343 00:17:41,790 --> 00:17:46,270 think that's just easier form. But to me, these things look 344 00:17:46,270 --> 00:17:50,190 like some type of a UFO, some type of an ore craft, Just their 345 00:17:50,270 --> 00:17:54,020 energy source, whatever it is. These could be the real 346 00:17:54,020 --> 00:17:56,820 multidimensional interdimensional craft 347 00:17:57,500 --> 00:17:59,580 phenomena, whatever you want to call them that we're looking 348 00:17:59,580 --> 00:18:00,740 for. That's really going to open up 349 00:18:00,740 --> 00:18:03,340 the key to what this whole UFO thing is all about. 350 00:18:03,780 --> 00:18:05,540 Until next time, this is UFO Warning. 351 00:18:05,700 --> 00:18:06,300 Over and out.
