Re: Hornet Spook Light OH OH. I just remember something my uncle once told me.
He used to work as a Baker in Botswana and you will note that the towns and cities are very far from each other. I'd say about 200-300 km apart average. Now there are absolutely no lights or anything on these old dilepidated roads and it makes for a pretty scary experience if you drive through those vast expanses in the middle of the night. I speak from experience as my dad and I were down there 1999/2000 for the new millenium stuff. Anyways. Every 100 km or so there is a security boom for inspection of cows and stuff for diseases and the like. Most of them are abandoned at night because no farmer in his right mind would drive those vast distances, transporting cattle in the middle of the night. So if you drive down those long roads in the night you have to stop, get out, lift the security boom yourself and drive through.
This story my uncle told me happened at one of these security booms. He says he was driving home to Francistown one night from another town (I forgot which), he stopped at one of these security booms to lift it. But as he slowed down he noticed someone lying in the middle of the road and his headlights clearly lighted this bundle in the road. So he stopped the car, turned off the ignition, never letting his eyes leave the bundle on the ground. He started to get out of the car and for one fleeting moment he took his eyes off the bundle and when he looked back it was gone. It gets weirder. After he had left again, driving through the boom, he went on with his journey and decided to stay at a small motel in a town off the road. He mentioned the weird event to the guy working at the motel and the guy told him that someone was run over at the boom many years ago and that his spirit still lingers. |
