Just finished watching the episode online. I always figured there was a logical explanation, but always thought it would be neat if it was real

The road appears to be going up hill on an incline, but it is actually declining.

I thought the segment on the Paulding light was very very cool. Did anyone else see it?

I did, and I thought the Paulding light was really strange. They couldn't find a way to reproduce it using a strong "super flashlight" or with car lights. Not enough gas emitted from the land to create the light, either. Then when they tried to go towards it, it wasn't there, but the guy who stayed behind at their 'base camp' could still see it. Very strange. Wonder if it's something like the Marfa lights...

As for the haunted tracks, I'm glad they found them to be an optical illusion. I read that a few years ago online. The investigators tested the magnetic field around the area, but found that the power lines were the cause of any magnetic readings. Then they did the drive test using the car owned by the guy who's video they had seen online. Same result that the guy had, but I didn't realize that the train would come barreling though without them seeing it, either. I thought that may have been done to just hype things up since it went to commercial break! I was surprised that after all these years, there wasn't a crossing guard or at least warning sounds activated. They tried it again and the car picked up speed and crossed the tracks. So they next tried an old school bus and had the same results. For each vehicle, they had cleaned the back ends with windex and then dusted for finger prints. No fingerprints found. If you have Time Warner cable, you may be able to view this episode on one of the demand stations that carries SCFI.
