THE PAULDING LIGHT : Ghost Lights of the Upper Peninsula | True Ghost Stories

Ep. 91

In the dense, pine-shrouded forests near Paulding, Michigan, a mysterious light has appeared on the horizon almost nightly since the 1960s—hovering, bobbing, and sometimes changing colour. Known locally as the Paulding Light, this ghostly phenomenon has drawn thousands to a dead-end road in the Ottawa National Forest, where visitors report seeing what looks like a spectral lantern moving through the trees.
