THE SPOOKLIGHT

IN SOUTHWESTERN MISSOURI, NEAR THE HORNET COUNTRY STORE AREA, THERE IS A LIGHT THAT COMES OUT OF NOWHERE AND SHINES ON OBJECTS, PEOPLE, TREES, ANYTHING. IT COMES AT NIGHT. STUDIES HAVE BEEN DONE ON THE LIGHT AND SCIENTISTS HAVE INVESTIGATED IT. SOMETIMES CALLED THE HORNET SPOOKLIGHT, IT HAS BEEN SEEN BY MANY PEOPLE.

Submitter comment:

INFORMANT BELIEVES THERE IS SUCH A LIGHT, BUT SHE HAS NEVER SEEN IT.
