St Simons Ghost Light

11/13/2012

 
I got quite a few responses from people who thought yesterday's Daily Dose was sweet. Not all ghosts are scary. Sometimes, they teach us about the undying power of love. 
This story takes place off the southern coast of Georgia on a small island named St Simons. A young woman lived on the island with her husband and their life was a happy one. The only problem she had was  a fear of the dark. Her fear was so bad that she would beg her husband to never let their candles go out at night and he never did. Unfortunately, their love story was cut short and she died a young woman. Her husband never stopped loving her. Unable to leave her in the dark, he would go every night to her grave and light a candle. That way, she would have her light and not be afraid. In time he died too, but then an amazing thing happened. The people of St Simons Island would see a light flickering over her grave at night. If they approached the light, it would disappear only to reappear as they left.
This spook light was investigated by several colleges and paranormal investigators and nobody could figure out the reason for the light. Now there is a wall surrounding the cemetery at Christ Church, but if you believe in love, you just know that the light is still there and it always will be.
