Bragg Road, Fort Worth

Bragg Road is associated with the "Saratoga Light" or "Big Thicket Light," a phenomenon of ghostly, floating lights, though the road itself is in Saratoga, Texas, not Fort Worth, TX. Legend suggests these lights are the soul of a newlywed groom searching for his lost bride, but scientific explanations include swamp gas, foxfire, or reflections of car headlights. Visitors often report seeing blue or orange lights, large floating shapes, and lights that appear and disappear. The primary phenomenon is the appearance of a ghostly, floating light or orb, often described as blue, orange, or white, on Bragg Road. Some legends state these lights will appear as supernatural orbs when a visitor parks on the road on a full moon at midnight, turns off their car, and waits. Reports include large, slow-moving shapes and lights that vanish and reappear in different locations. The most widely accepted scientific explanation for the "ghost light" phenomenon is the presence of swamp gas, also known as will-o'-the-wisp, a flammable gas from decaying organic matter. Other theories suggest the lights are reflections from car headlights or lights from nearby farms.
