Green Spook Light
by Steve Magers

This took place in 1974 in rural Missouri. My gal at the time and I were sitting in my car on a well-known lover's lane. It was fairly late with no moon, so it was pitch black out. I'm in the middle of saying something when out of the blue she screams, "WHAT IS IT?" I look out the front and there maybe 40 feet up the road is a perfectly round sphere of glowing green light floating down the road! It was maybe twice the size of a basketball with a glow that reflected onto the road. It sort of seemed to dance in the way it moved. Then it floated up on top of some trees and danced around up there for a few seconds. Next it came back down to the road and slowly started coming down the road are way.

I'll never forget her nails buried in my arm as we sat in shock watching this. Just as it gets to about 10 feet in front of my car, it stops as if it suddenly sees us. Well, within a split second it darts off the road into a wheat field and in a zigzag type pattern it flies up a incline and at the top of the hill it just blinks out. Somehow after that I was able to peel her off me, get the car started and fly out of there. We shook all the way home. I've not seen her in more than 30 years now, but I know she'll never forget that night either. I've heard of famous ghost lights in other places. But even though I've lived in this area all my life, I've never heard of anyone else seeing what we saw that night. Strange to say the least.
