The Paulding lights of Michigan (Location C on the map)
The myths and legends behind the ghost light frequently sited between Watersmeet and Paulding, Michigan remain a mystery to many witnesses. What are the Paulding Lights? Because no exact science has determined its origin this spectrum is a witnessed phenomenon. Seen on almost every clear night the lights illuminate the skies between Watersmeet and Paulding.

Consistent reports of colors ranging from red, white, green, and yellow are common among witnesses. Other colors that have been seen within the Paulding Lights are blue and purple. It is said the light takes many forms from stars to diamond shaped, to circular or beams are the most frequent recalled. However, claims of a campfire amber or just radiant glows are not uncommon. It is said the Paulding Lights have been overbearingly bright to flickering dim. The longevity has been reported to vary as well. Some have claimed to observe the light for a quarter of an hour while others only seeing it for seconds.

There is no definite conclusion on the Paulding Lights. No one really knows when the lights first came into existence. One factor that is certain, the Paulding Lights do exist. Many people have tried to uncover the mystery behind the lights. The simple explanations by skeptics that swamp gas or headlights are the foundation have been ruled out by most who have witnessed the light. Trickery or human manipulation are also abandoned theories because the light has existed this long. The area where the Paulding Lights can be seen is a welcome mat to the public. The Michigan Forest Service has placed signs around the area to direct spectators to the best viewing spots. Robins Pond Road is four miles north Watersmeet off U.S. 45 south of Paulding.
