Nearly every clear evening, strange circular spheres of light dance on the horizon of the tiny community of Paulding Michigan. The lights at times seem to follow the pathway of electrical lines.
These unexplained lights have been filmed by Michigan Magazine and Channel Six News from of Marquette. Experts from Ripley's Believe It Or Not have been to the location to examine the phenomenon. At one time they offered over $100,000 to anyone who could solve the bizarre light phenomenon. No logical explaination has yet been found to explain the lights.
These lights are not to be confused with the Northern Lights which can be extremely active and beautiful in Northern Michigan. The Paulding light are distinctly different, a phenomenon that is unique to Paulding, Michigan. Locals say the lights have been seen for many, many years. Some residents have relatives who claim to have seen the lights way back at the turn of the century, while on their way to the train depot at Watersmeet.
Several legends have developed to explain the lights. One such legends explains the lights as the ghost of a railroad brakeman who was killed in the same area, while other say it is the ghost of an Indian dancing on the power lines.
Is this a true Yooper Ghost!!

RAMBLETOWN HALLOWEEN
On Halloween in Rambletown
da little kids go round and round
Da bigger ones, well, dey go too,
but not for what da little ones do.
Dose littles, in their innocence,
ain't never thought of paintin' fence
Or dumpin' ashcans on da ground...
Dat ain't why dey go around.
Dey prefer da treats
and not da tricks---
(Da big ones dey're just after kicks---
Dey get 'em, too...by scarin' kids...
It's awful all da tings dey do!)
My pa don't Halloween no more
'Cause while little kids is at da door...
Da old man all the while is hopin'
Big ones ain't at da back door soapin'
And he keeps da gun all ready ta rip
in case he hears da ashcans scrape...
And he cusses da night all up and down...
on Halloween in Rambletown.
But I still wait for Halloween ta come
cause my brudder and me we have some fun.
My old man hates da guy next door
and likes to get da poor guy sore...
So on Halloween he tells us, "WELL?,..
Go over dere and give 'em HELL"!
That's Halloween in Rambletown.
