The Chapel Hill Ghost Light

For almost a century, folks who dare head out to the old L&N train tracks at night, on the edge of the small town of Chapel Hill, Tennessee, have found themselves face-to-face with a strange ball of light that eerily bounces down the line. Some say the light is the spirit of a headless railroad worker, others a murdered woman, but no matter what has caused it, hundreds have purportedly witnessed the strange phenomenon.
