The Crossett Lights are a mysterious, floating, colorful light phenomenon observed near the old railroad tracks outside Crossett, Arkansas. Often described as a ghost light, it's said to move independently, hover 2-3 feet above the ground, change color, and disappear when approached. While some attribute it to an unfortunate railroad worker searching for his lost head or a woman's lantern searching for a lost love, others suggest it's a natural occurrence like swamp gas, an optical illusion, or even a UFO. What is the Crossett Light? Appearance: A single, floating, unidentifiable light. It moves side to side, rises into treetops, and can disappear when someone approaches it, only to reappear a short distance away. Reportedly ranges from yellow and orange to blue and green. Seen along the old railroad tracks near Crossett, which are now gone. One prominent story claims the light is the lantern of a railroad worker who was decapitated in an accident and now uses it to search for his missing head. Another legend tells of Rosemary, who searched for her lost love, David, with her lantern after his tragic death. The light is said to be her lantern, and seeing it is believed to bring romance.
