The Ghost Light Of St.Louis

The Ghost Light Of St.Louis

by jcaron@compusmart.ab.ca

This is not The St.Louis in the U.S. but the one in Saskatchewan. This

is a very small town about 30km out of Prince Albert and all the locals

seem to know about this ghost light.

My cousin decided to take me out and see this light for myself, I was

excited, many people have seen it but no one knows where it comes from.

We finally turned off the highway and drove down a gravel road for about

15km then on the shoulder of the gravel road is another road. Now this

road is narrow and horrible to drive into, but you can. Tree's are

always brushing the car and bumpy as hell not to mention pitch black, so

my cousin took me to the spot where he said he saw it last, now I was

getting nervous. At first we waited in the car (engine off) and looked

out the back window to see if something was coming, nothing so we got

out with flashlights in hand and waited. I would say about 5 minutes

later a faint light appeared down this road.

Now this road is narrow and is very hilly and bumpy but I could see this

light slowly coming towards us. It was like a single headlight and very

bright, what this light would do is come up into view and then disappear

out of view as if someone was carrying a lantern walking down the road

towards us. We both started getting freaked out and ran back to the car

and sat there and watched this light get closer and closer, we finally

got the hell outta there and drove back into Prince Albert.

From what we know this light has been there for quite some time, we

later found out that the road was actually a railroad at one time.

Another story we heard was that a man was walking on the tracks along

time ago carrying a lamp and was struck by the train and his spirit

still walks the tracks at night.
