Mr. Wesley’s Magic Light has been spotted at various points along
the road by dozens of people. Its source still remains a mystery.
Growing up my dad often speculated that Mr. Wesley’s Light was
caused by everything from brush fires, anchored lights, car
headlights, and even fireflies. But he could never explain some of
the reported anomalies and characteristics such as color (often
glowing red or green), random movements, or odd auroras. Others
still associate the light with more uncanny causes.
Mr. Wesley’s Magic Light is the legend of an Ormond railway
brakeman who was accidentally beheaded by a passing train. He now
searches this very area around dusk night after night; the Magic
Light is said to be that of his gas lantern as he searches for his
missing head.
The stories surrounding the light, always point toward the very
accident that occurred nearby many years ago and left the poor man
decapitated. The light has been described as starting as a pinpoint
among the railway that grows to the brightness of a flashlight,
then dims and fades away as it disappears into the woods at this
very spot with a regularity that seldom disappoints those who come
to view it. Glowing at dusk with an eerie, soft color; it sometimes
pulses, and dances about, usually near the ground or waist high.
The true source is a mystery. When the curious try to
approach, the light will simply vanish, as if purposely keeping its
true nature a secret.
You are searching for a very special geo-container at the very
point of the light’s usual disappearance. If you are brave enough,
come just before dusk, sit quietly, and wait. There is ample
parking just off the roadway and please don’t worry, you will be
searching nowhere near the tracks. Watch your step due to elevation
changes and as with all of our hides, please trade up or even. This
is a well stocked cache with very special meaning; To open it just
pull out the bolt and Please don’t steal the container.
Happy Ghost Hunting!
