On this episode the hosts introduce the show with a cold open and dive into Jason’s first-hand account of the Paulding Light in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. They describe the glowing orb seen near a logging road—its changing colors, size, and occasional electrical effects—and explain how it’s been reported since the 1960s.
The conversation covers local legends (a brakeman’s ghost, a native spirit), scientific theories (headlight refraction, magnetic/iron effects), past student investigations, and why visitors still come to watch the mysterious light.
