The eight mile Bragg road seems like a very interesting road to walk upon. If I had a chance to explore the road, one night with a couple of friends; no doubt, I would take the offer and enjoy it. The gaseous substance, light or whatever object appears at night time; this paranormal evidence and stories allow me to agree that this phenomenon occurs to me as believable. What object can move at a rapid speed and vanish during the day and night, stop car engines and people? Nothing realistic, unless a paranoramal object that still haunts this world.

There are actually some people who investigated Bragg road. Seeing and listening to all the phenomena about the spooky road, interest these investigators to examine it. Five of them set out to examine the road around one in the morning. Along the road includes four niches where you can park or turn the car around. During their phase one of searching, they saw "a tiny pale-blue light down at the south end of the road" (The Ghost). According to the blog, they mention the light splitting into two, allowing them to assume, probably they are headlights from a car. Instead of speculating the lights, the car they assume should have passed them by now, during a three second interval without looking at the lights; they turned around and saw the headlights disappeared from only a three second off-guard. This caused the investigators to think, sparking a thought about the evidence they know from, maybe the lights "appeared to be a single light, either because the treeline blocked one of the headlights or because of the sheer distance from the entrance" (The Ghost). According to the investigators, they do not know the actual phenomenon of what they saw; their conclusion can be paranormal or not paranormal.


Here is the actual map of the road, and how the road is pretty much surrounded by forest and ended by two highways.

People who actually experience this phenomenon assumed seeing ghostly light during the day and night. Most argued that the light "is the relection of car lights while scientests believe it is a gaseous substance" (Bragg). One story from an old man said the light rushed through his horse, panicking the horse and dumping the driver and his wagon into the ditch (Bob Bowman). Soon, everyone started to assume seeing the light in all different colors. According to Bob Bowman, in the 1960s, the light chased cars down stopping engines, burning hands, and running over people. Seems true to me that ghost can do this to others, without hurting the person itself, except burning them. This woman I knew personally told me her car engine would not start, due to her anxiety about this house she went into was really haunted or not; her feedback from the ghost started with the engine not starting up. She actually went to the monk to bless her from the evil spirits, and her car started working again by forgiving the ghost from what the monk told her to do. I can see why this statement can be true.

According to Bob Bowman, "The ghost road began as a rail line when the Sante Fe Railroad hacked a route from Bragg to Saratoga in 1902." During that time, they used the railroad for regular service: carrying people, cattle, oil, logs, and many more. Once the oil depleted, they decided to remove the tracks and use it as an old country road. "Thanks to people like Hardin County Commissioner Ken Pelt and Big Thicket advocate Maxine Johnson", the road is now considered to attract tourist by not the ghost stories but by the scenic attraction (Bob Bowman).  This ghost road is known as the "Bragg Road".

Haunted Road

I have decided to explore my thoughts about this haunted road in Hardin County Texas. The road appears to be ancient by the looks of it, and the dirt road is about eight miles long. In my opinion, I wouldn't drive along this road by myself. The scary signs of nature, how the trees grow caving in; its like going through a cave in a mountain. My thoughts about this road seems vague, but I believe everything I hear and see in my own eyes.
