💡 Gurdon’s Ghostly Lantern Flickers Again

📍 Gurdon, Arkansas | 🗓️ July 6, 2025 | 🧾 Category: Paranormal / Light Phenomenon

The dark woods outside Gurdon, Arkansas, hold a secret that flickers to life when the sun goes down. Locals call it the Gurdon Light—a bluish glow that drifts silently along an abandoned stretch of railroad bed, far from any road or power source. And this week, it’s been making appearances again. 🌌👻

In the early hours of July 5 and 6, several nighttime hikers and paranormal hobbyists reported seeing the orb once more—describing it as a pale blue light bobbing gently in the air, sometimes splitting into two before vanishing into the trees. One witness said it “moved like someone walking with a lantern, but there was no one there.”

Legends say the ghost of a decapitated railway worker still haunts the tracks, endlessly searching with a lantern in hand. Some even claim to hear the soft grind of phantom footsteps on gravel just before the light appears.

Skeptics argue it’s just headlights bending through layers of humidity—but the sightings always occur deep in the woods, far from any traffic. And the railroad line has been defunct for decades, adding to the mystery.

🕯️ Paranormal Phenomenon or Atmospheric Trick?
Whatever it is—ghost, mirage, or something stranger—the Gurdon Light remains one of the South’s eeriest unsolved stories. Hike out there at midnight if you dare… but don’t go alone.
