AS A BOY GROWING UP IN DOVER WE USE TO FRENQUNCY RIDE TO COVE CITY
AND SIT OR EITHER RIDE UP AND DOWN THE ROAD BETWEEN WHAT IS NOW THE HY. 70 OVERPASS AND TRENTON TO SEE IF WE COULD SEE THE GHOST
LIGHT. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE IS ANY THING WRITTEN ABOUT THIS
GHOST LIGHT AND IF SO WHERE CAN i FIND MORE ON THE SUBJECT?
THANKS,
EDDIE SPENCER
PS. WE DID SEE THE LIGHT SEVERAL
TIMES--OH THE GOOD OLD DAYS!

I live in Kinston and have seen the light on many occasion's when growing
up.It was there for sure it would chase
you in your car.A ball of fire the size
of a basketball.

I was wondering when someone was going to ask about this light. My buddies and I used to use this as an excuse to take girls parking. I never saw the light, however I dated a girl in High School whose mother swears she saw it and that it chased her car for miles before fading away. It used to be very well know ghost story in the Kinston, N.C area

If you paid the boy enough money he would run for miles with that Kerosene Lantern. Sometimes he was late and sometimes we were late but on the nights when the timing was just right it was all the love and affection one guy could stand. I know that girl's mother ????

I never saw the light, but my parents talked about it all the time when I was a kid back in the 70's, they go and sit and wait for the light to show up when they where dating, I grew up around the Wintergreen area, went to school at Ft.Barnwell elem on Dover road.

I personally have seen the light three times during the early seventies. My friends and I were chased by the light every time. It came on us very fast and followed us extremely close. I saw it as a basketball size ball of fire. Those who think they are strong willed and scared of nothing should venture into the unknown and see for yourself. I promise you if you see it, you will not stick around long.

Well like Eddie Spencer to whom I remember from Dover and thru my now almost ex husband Freddy Whitley the light is suppose to be real..When I first came thru Dover on a date one night with Skeeter Riggs from Dover when I was just 16 I was told of that light but never seen it myself..I dont know if the stories are real or not but I DO KNOW them Dover boys used it alot on us Kinston girls just to get us alone lol...

since the swamp has been drained and the land has been cleared where the light used to be seen, it doesn't show up any more. i saw it twice when i was a teenager in the seventies. i'm pretty sure it was some combination of "swamp" gas and reflection off the highway, but it was eerie as hell.

I saw the light in the late fifties. It was a very dark night and as we watched the light approach I remember hearing my heart beat. It was scarey.
